WARM-UP METHOD BASED ON TEMPERATURE CONTROL MODULE, VEHICLE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
A warm-up method based on a temperature control module, a vehicle, and a storage medium. The warm-up method based on the temperature control module comprises: entering a cold start mode; obtaining current temperature control parameters, the temperature control parameters comprising a current water temperature value, a current engine speed, and a current engine load; obtaining working parameters of a temperature control module according to the temperature control parameters; controlling the temperature control module according to the working parameters to adjust the water temperature to warm an engine, and updating the current water temperature value; and after the updated current water temperature value does not exceed a warm-up threshold, returning to the step of obtaining the current temperature control parameters to enter the next cycle.

Cooling system for a power generation system on a marine vessel
A system for draining a cooling system of a power generation system on a marine vessel includes a pump in fluid communication with the cooling system, the pump actively removing cooling water from the cooling system. An outlet drain discharges the cooling water. A controller starts the pump in response to an operator command to stop a prime mover of the marine power generation system and/or a speed of the prime mover being below a threshold speed. In one example, a temperature sensor determines a temperature of the cooling water in the cooling system, and the controller stops the pump in response to the temperature of the cooling water exceeding a threshold temperature. In another example, a sensor determines a pressure and/or a level of the cooling water in the cooling system, and the controller stops the pump in response to the pressure and/or the level of the cooling water dropping below a threshold pressure or a threshold level, respectively.
DUAL ZONE COOLING SYSTEM FOR COMBINED ENGINE COMPRESSORS
Typically, an engine-compressor for compressing natural gas for use as a fuel has a single cooling circuit to cool both its combustion unit and compression unit. A single cooling circuit design is not ideal because the optimal temperature for the combustion unit is higher than the compression unit of the engine-compressor. The present invention provides a dual zone cooling system to cool the combustion unit separately from the compression unit.
