Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19728351A1] The invention relates to a method for regulating the heat of an internal combustion engine in motor vehicles with electrically controllable devices designed to convey cooling or heating agents and to adjust the volumetric flow thereof. Temperature sensors at several points on the internal combustion engine generate temperature-dependent signals which are processed by means of at least one microprocessor into adjustment signals for the devices. According to the invention, in addition to temperatures of cooling and heating agents, critical temperature components and/or output characteristics of the internal combustion engine are detected and taken into account during regulation, specifically relating to heat behavior. This enables quick regulation response to heat, wherein warm-up times are shortened and optimal operational temperature times are extended.
