The power system may also have a coolant circuit configured to cool the engine, and at least one heat exchanger isolated from the coolant circuit and configured to receive a fluid passing through the engine. The power system may further have a first fuel line extending from the cryogenic tank to the at least one heat exchanger, and a second fuel line extending from the at least one heat exchanger to the engine.

Thermal management systems for a vehicle powered by internal combustion engines (ICEs) are provided. Systems include a coolant circuit configured to circulate a coolant and transfer heat between the coolant and a heat consumer appurtenant to the vehicle, and a refrigerant circuit configured to circulate a refrigerant such that the refrigerant is capable of extracting heat from exhaust gas generated by the ICE and subsequently transferring heat to the coolant. The refrigerant circuit can include one or more of an exhaust gas heat exchanger, a compressor, a coolant heat exchanger, a condenser, and an evaporator. Heat transferred to the coolant via the coolant heat exchanger can be transferred to one or more heat consumers, including the ICE, a turbocharger, an oil heater, a heater core, an exhaust gas recirculation cooler, an axle, a differential, an exhaust gas treatment device, and a reductant reservoir for an SCR or SCRF device.

A saddle-ridden vehicle includes: an engine; a radiator unit which is disposed in front of the engine and cools cooling water sent from the engine; a supercharger which is disposed between the engine and the radiator unit and compresses air for combustion to be supplied to the engine; and a reservoir tank which is connected to the radiator unit and stores cooling water to flow into the radiator unit, the radiator unit includes a top radiator disposed in top-front of the engine and a bottom radiator disposed below the top radiator, and the reservoir tank is disposed below the supercharger between the engine and the bottom radiator.

An ebullient cooling device includes: an internal combustion engine cooled by boiling a coolant flowing through a coolant passage formed within the internal combustion engine; a gas-liquid separator that separates a coolant discharged from the internal combustion engine into a liquid-phase coolant and a gas-phase coolant; a condenser that is disposed on a downstream side of the expander, and cools the gas-phase coolant having passed through the expander so as to be changed into a liquid-phase coolant; a first passage that supplies the liquid-phase coolant from the condenser to the coolant passage formed within the internal combustion engine; a second passage that is branched from the first passage, and is connected to the gas-liquid separator; and a control valve that controls a supply state of a liquid-phase coolant supplied to the gas-liquid separator from the condenser through the second passage.

A waste heat recovery (WHR) and coolant system with active coolant pressure control includes an engine cooling system, a WHR system, and a coolant pressure control system. A coolant heat exchanger positioned along each of the engine cooling and working fluid circuits, and is structured to transfer heat from the coolant fluid to the working fluid. The coolant pressure control system includes a pressure line operatively coupled to an air brake system and to the coolant tank. A valve is coupled to the pressure line upstream of the coolant tank. A coolant pressure controller is in operative communication with each of the valve, an air pressure sensor, and a coolant temperature sensor. The coolant pressure controller is structured to determine a target coolant pressure based on a coolant temperature and control a valve position of the valve so as to cause the air pressure to approach the target coolant pressure.

Gaseous fuel downstream of a heat exchanger can be too cold for fuel system components when the temperature of engine coolant employed as a working fluid in the heat exchanger is too low to elevate gaseous fuel temperature, and it is possible for the engine coolant to freeze. A method of operating a cryogenic pump for controlling discharge temperature of a heat exchanger that vaporizes a process fluid received from the cryogenic pump with heat from a working fluid, where the cryogenic pump includes a piston reciprocatable in a cylinder between a proximate cylinder head and a distal cylinder head, includes monitoring at least one of process fluid temperature and working fluid temperature; retracting the piston during an intake stroke from the proximate cylinder head to the distal cylinder head; and extending the piston in a plurality of incremental discharge strokes until the piston travels from the distal cylinder head back to the proximate cylinder head. At least one of the number of incremental discharge strokes, a length of incremental discharge strokes and a rest period between incremental discharge strokes is selected such that at least one of the process fluid temperature and working fluid temperature is maintained above a predetermined level.

An internal combustion engine is equipped with a water injector for cooling the internal combustion engine by a spray of atomized water into the intake track or combustion chamber prior to ignition. The atomized water spray may be in the intake manifold or directly in the cylinder. The water is injected at a volume of between a ratio of about 95% fuel to about 5% water and about 50% fuel and about 50% water. The temperature of the internal combustion engine is maintained at between about 95 C. and about 200 C. during operation.
