20190077214 · 2019-03-14 ·

Methods and systems are provided for controlling coolant flow through parallel branches of a coolant circuit including an AC condenser and a charge air cooler. Flow is apportioned responsive to an AC head pressure and a CAC temperature to reduce parasitic losses and improve fuel economy. The flow is apportioned via adjustments to a coolant pump output and a proportioning valve.

Engine air path cooling system

Methods and systems are provided for selectively re-cooling intake air downstream of a charge air cooler. In one example, a system may include a cylinder head defining a plurality of cylinders, the cylinder head including a plurality of inlet ports each fluidically coupled to a respective cylinder, a refrigerant supply, and a refrigerant passage surrounding each inlet port and fluidically coupled to the refrigerant supply, the refrigerant passage shaped to correspond to an outer profile of each inlet port.

Temperature control system for hybrid powertrain and method of operating a temperature control system

A temperature control system for a hybrid powertrain includes a first coolant circuit for temperature control of a first drive device of the hybrid powertrain and a second coolant circuit for temperature control of a second drive device. The second coolant circuit has a first subcircuit, connected for heat transfer to the second drive device, and a second subcircuit, connected at least temporarily for heat transfer to an energy store of the second drive device. The first and second subcircuits are operable separately from one another. A coolant duct is connected to the first drive device for heat transfer and is fluidly connected in a first operating mode with the first coolant circuit in the absence of a fluid communication with the second coolant circuit, and fluidly connected in a second operating mode with the second coolant circuit in the absence of a fluid communication with the first coolant circuit.
