The present invention provides a battery temperature control system having a simple configuration and capable of immediately raising a battery temperature by actively using heat generated by an internal combustion engine. The battery temperature control system includes: an engine cooling circuit in which a coolant in an internal combustion engine is circulated between a coolant jacket and a radiator by a coolant pump; an exhaust heat recovery circuit in which a coolant in an EGR cooler that recovers exhaust heat of the internal combustion engine flows; a battery cooler-destined branch circuit that is branched from the engine cooling circuit and goes toward an upstream side of the battery cooler in the battery cooling circuit 11; and a channel switching mechanism that selectively connects a downstream side of at least one of the exhaust heat recovery circuit or the battery cooler-destined branch circuit to the upstream side of the battery cooler in the battery cooling circuit.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media provide a cooling component including an underbody wheel well fan that is installed in proximity to the wheel well at each side of the front wheels. Specifically, an apparatus for vehicle radiator cooling control is provided, including a first suction component disposed in proximity to a first wheel well at a first side of a vehicle, a first tube component having a first end connected to the first suction component and a second end extended to a direction towards a back of the vehicle, and a first fan component connected to the second end of the first tube component.

A system including a cooling fan, an actuator with an actuator temperature sensor, and a controller is disclosed. The controller may be configured to receive temperature data from the actuator temperature sensor. The temperature data may include information relating to an actuator temperature of the actuator. The controller may be configured to compare the actuator temperature with a temperature threshold associated with the actuator, and control the cooling fan to adjust the actuator temperature based on determining that the actuator temperature satisfies the temperature threshold.

Methods and systems are provided for a cooling arrangement. In one example, the cooling arrangement comprises flowing coolant to only an upper portion of a cylinder head during a cold-start. The cooling arrangement comprises flowing coolant to a cylinder block, a lower portion of the cylinder-head, and the upper portion of the cylinder head outside of the cold-start.

A vehicle thermal management system includes an Integrated Thermal Management Valve (ITM) for receiving engine coolant through a coolant inlet connected to an engine coolant outlet of an engine, and for distributing the engine coolant flowing out toward a radiator through a coolant outlet flow path connected to a heat exchange system. The heat exchange system includes at least one among a heater core, an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) cooler, an oil warmer, an Auto Transmission Fluid (ATF) warmer, and the radiator. The thermal management system includes a water pump positioned at the front end of the engine coolant inlet of the engine and a coolant branch flow path branched at the front end of an engine coolant inlet to be connected to the coolant outlet flow path.

A vehicle thermal management system includes a plurality of coolant circulation/distribution systems that form an engine coolant flow, which circulates in an engine via mechanic/electronic water pumps, a heater core, High Temperature (HT)/Low Temperature (LT) radiators, an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) cooler, an oil warmer, an Auto Transmission Fluid (ATF) warmer, and an intercooler, in association with an Integrated Thermal Management Valve (ITM) and a Smart Single Valve (SSV). The thermal management system prevents turbo boiling at Ignition Key Off in association with the SSV and an Electric Water Pump (EWP) of the water-cooled intercooler while quickly implementing warm-up of the engine and the engine oil/ATF oil by the four-port layout of the ITM at the same time.

Provided is an engine cooling apparatus capable of preventing deterioration in reliability of a cylinder head of an engine during cold engine operation. The engine cooling apparatus comprises an engine cooling water path, a heater core cooling path, and a radiator cooling water path, and further comprises a switching valve for switching among these cooling water paths. The switching valve is operable, when the temperature of an area around an exhaust valve is raised to a value greater than, e.g., 150° C., even in a situation where the temperature of cooling water for cooling the engine is equal to or less than, e.g., 50° C., to switch from the in-engine cooling water path to the heater core cooling water path.

A connector for an engine cooling system is provided. The connector may be located in a chamber with two inlets and an outlet. The connector may include a thermostatic valve. A temperature sensitive element may move the thermostatic valve between an open and closed position. A pressure relief valve may also be incorporated into the thermostatic valve. An engine cooling system comprising the connector is also provided.
