  • Patent number: 10640118
    Abstract: A method for controlling a powertrain of a vehicle may include: controlling, by a controller, an engine of the vehicle to be operated when an ignition key of the vehicle is in an on state; and determining, by the controller, whether the controller generates a command changing a state of a clutch based on an operation state of the vehicle. The clutch connects or disconnects a crankshaft of the engine and a crankshaft pulley including the clutch. The crankshaft pulley is connected to a generator pulley and an air conditioner compressor pulley via a belt.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8869757
    Abstract: A cooling system of a vehicle may include a high and low temperature radiators that cool a high and low temperature coolants respectively circulating an engine and passing a water cooled intercooler and a low exhaust gas recirculation cooler of a turbo charger, a cooling fan that blows air to the high temperature radiator and the low temperature radiator, a high temperature coolant pump that pumps the high temperature coolant, a low temperature coolant pump that pumps the low temperature coolant, and a control portion that controls the high temperature coolant pump, the low temperature coolant pump, and the cooling fan according to driving conditions of the vehicle and environmental conditions. A controlling method may include detecting driving conditions of the vehicle and environmental conditions, setting an operating target for the cooling system and/or a lubrication system, and determining operating conditions for the cooling system and/or the lubrication system.
