Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0688942A1] The IC engine (10) is cooled by a liquid circuit with a thermostat valve (16) to shunt all or part of the coolant flow and to direct a controlled amount through the radiator (11). The thermostat is electrically heated during a preset initial distance after cold starting when the coolant temperature is maintained below boiling to allow any air to be displaced and to prevent boiling over. The preset distance is computed from the vehicle speed and the elapsed time. The programmed distance is a function of the initial temperature of the coolant ie. the temperature rise required to reach the ultimate operating temperature. The radiator is linked to an expansion chamber (12). <IMAGE>
