A controller is arranged to receive an indication of at least one parameter associated with the engine, and control delivery of at least one of the first liquid coolant from the first liquid coolant reservoir and the second liquid coolant from the second liquid coolant reservoir to the compression cylinder based on the indication of the at least one parameter such that the at least one liquid coolant vaporises into a gaseous phase during a compression stroke.

An internal combustion engine including a fuel reformation unit that generates reformed fuel based on liquid fuel and higher in octane rating than the liquid fuel and introduces the generated reformed fuel to an output cylinder. The fuel reformation unit includes a first fuel reformer that includes a reciprocal mechanism where a piston reciprocates in a cylinder, a second fuel reformer that includes a reformation catalyst, and a reformed gas passage that connects the first and second fuel reformers together. First reformed gas discharged from the first fuel reformer is introduced to the second fuel reformer through the reformed gas passage.

A work vehicle includes an engine, a compressor used to compress an air toward the engine, a charge air cooler, a sensor, and a control unit. The charge air cooler comprising or coupled to a fan. The fan can rotate in a first direction to remove a heat of the air and to rotate in a second direction reverse to the first direction so as to blow a debris. The control unit is electrically coupled to the engine and to the fan. The control unit predicts whether a temperature of the air exceeds a threshold based on a signal received from the sensor. When the temperature of the air is below the threshold, the fan can rotate in the second direction. When the temperature of the air is equal to or above the threshold, the fan is inhibited from rotating in the second direction.

An intercooler drain system which drains condensate from an intercooler includes an upper header, a lower header, and a plurality of tubes connecting the upper header and the lower header, the intercooler drain system including: a drain passage allowing the condensate collected in the lower header of the intercooler to be drained; and a valve opening and closing the drain passage. The valve has a specific gravity less than a specific gravity of the condensate, and when the condensate is collected above a predetermined level in the lower header, the valve rises due to buoyancy to open the drain passage.

A cooling device for a vehicle is provided, which includes an engine having an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, a supercharger, and an intercooler configured to cool intake gas containing EGR gas.
