Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2015075219A1] A method of identifying the condition of a temperature responsive valve 107, wherein the temperature responsive valve 107 is part of an engine cooling system 101 which further comprises a fluid circulation system and a radiator 103, wherein in use the fluid circulation system is arranged to circulate fluid around an engine 102 and through the radiator 103, and the temperature responsive valve 107 is arranged to control the amount of fluid which flows through the radiator 103. The method comprises: measuring t1, the temperature of coolant fluid as it exits the engine; measuring t2, the temperature of coolant fluid as it exits the radiator; and identifying the condition of the temperature responsive valve dependent upon the measured values of t1 and t2.
