An engine cooling device has a mechanical water pump, a flow rate control valve having a valve body of which a relative rotational position is changed by a motor, and a control unit that performs drive control of the motor to change the relative rotational position of the valve body to a target relative rotational position. The control unit performs protection control for setting the relative rotational position where a withstanding pressure limit rotational speed is equal to or higher than a current engine rotational speed, as a target operating position of the valve body of the flow rate control valve when the engine rotational speed rises, and performs retreat control for reducing a set range of the target relative rotational position to a prescribed retreat operation range when the supply voltage of the in-vehicle electric power supply has dropped.

An apparatus for controlling an engine and a method thereof are provided. The apparatus includes an integrated thermal management (ITM) that adjusts opening of a plurality of valves as a cam rotates and a storage that stores a table for differential pressure between a front end and a rear end of each of the plurality of valves, based on an engine revolution per minute (RPM) and an ITM angle. A controller determines a state of the ITM and adjusts opening degrees of the plurality of valves depending on the differential pressure of the valve, based on the differential pressure table based on the state of the ITM.
