Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03038251A1] Thermal energy is dissipated from an area (14) of an internal combustion engine by a cooling device by means of a cooling fluid. A temperature is thus recorded at least at a location of said internal combustion engine, the operation of said cooling device depending on the recorded temperature. The aim of said invention is to increase the efficiency of said internal combustion engine. Said aim is achieved, whereby a temperature is recorded at a location (51) of a cylinder head gasket of the internal combustion engine. Said temperature is at least substantially correlated with a temperature recorded at a location (68) of a component (14) of said internal combustion engine, the location of said component being thermally high-loaded, situated within the internal combustion engine and only difficult to get to or not accessible at all.
