  • Publication number: 20240093629
    Abstract: A cooling mechanism 10 includes: a cooling circuit 11; and a compressor cooling path 30 branched from the cooling circuit 11 and joined to the cooling circuit 11 after passing through an inside of a compressor 22. The cooling mechanism 10 includes a flow rate adjustment valve 32 configured to control a flow rate of cooling water flowing inside the compressor 22. The flow rate adjustment valve 32 is configured to make the flow rate of the cooling water flowing inside the compressor 22 when a temperature of intake air at an outlet of the compressor 22 is lower than a temperature of the cooling water lower than the flow rate of the cooling water flowing inside the compressor 22 when the temperature of the intake air at the outlet of the compressor 22 becomes equal to or higher than the temperature of the cooling water.
