A cooling structure of an internal combustion engine includes a thermostat provided to switch circulation between a radiator passage and a bypass passage in an engine body, to thereby enable acceleration of early warming up via the bypass passage without impairing the external appearance or increasing the size of the internal combustion engine. The cooling structure also includes an in-cylinder-block fluid passage partitioned up and down in an axial direction of a cylinder axis into an in-cylinder-block upper fluid passage and an in-cylinder-block lower fluid passage by a partition wall. The bypass passage is partially composed of the in-cylinder-bock lower fluid passage.

A power pack for converting waste heat from exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine to electrical energy includes a working fluid loop fluidly connecting an evaporator, an expander, a condenser and a pump. The power pack also includes a working fluid tank fluidly connected to the working fluid loop between an outlet of the condenser and an inlet of the pump. The working fluid tank has a single working fluid port operable to receive working fluid from the outlet of the condenser and to supply working fluid to the inlet of the pump. The power pack also includes a power pack control unit in communication with the working fluid tank. The power pack control unit is operable to change a pressure of the working fluid in the working fluid loop at the inlet of the pump by changing the pressure of the working fluid in the working fluid tank.

A waste heat recovery system in thermal communication with an exhaust conduit of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle includes a condenser. The condenser includes a working fluid conduit configured to connect to a working fluid loop of the waste heat recovery system and a coolant fluid conduit configured to connect to a coolant fluid loop used to cool the internal combustion engine of the vehicle. The coolant fluid conduit includes a coolant fluid inlet and a coolant fluid outlet. The waste heat recovery system also includes a coolant fluid bypass fluidly connected between the coolant fluid inlet and the coolant fluid outlet. The coolant fluid bypass includes a coolant fluid control valve configured to vary a portion of the volume of coolant fluid that flows through the coolant fluid bypass based on a temperature of a working fluid in the working fluid loop.

A cylinder head includes: a plurality of exhaust ports configured to lead out exhaust gas from combustion chambers; a plurality of intake ports configured to introduce fresh air into the combustion chambers; an intake air aggregate part configured to aggregate the plurality of intake ports; and a second EGR pipe in which EGR gas flows, wherein exhaust outlets of the plurality of exhaust ports and an EGR gas inlet of the second EGR pipe are arranged side-by-side on a flat left side surface, and a fresh air inlet of the intake air aggregate part and an EGR gas outlet of the second EGR pipe are arranged side-by-side on a flat right side surface.

A thermal management device for use in a vehicular or other thermal management circuit utilizes a pump, one or more valves, and one or more pressure/temperature sensors to route coolant through different desired flow paths and maintain components within the thermal circuit at appropriate temperatures.

A coolant pump for a vehicle includes an impeller mounted at one side of a shaft and configured for pumping a coolant, a pulley mounted at the other side of the shaft and configured for receiving a torque, a pump housing including an inlet for allowing the coolant to flow in and an outlet for allowing the coolant to flow out, a shroud disposed within the pump housing for selectively closing or opening the outlet and an operation portion selectively moving the shroud.

A jacket cooling system for an engine of a locomotive is disclosed. The jacket cooling system may comprise a jacket coolant pump driven by a crankshaft of the engine. The jacket cooling system may further comprise a coolant jacket associated with one or more components of the engine, and a delivery conduit in fluid communication with the outlet of the jacket coolant pump and configured to deliver a coolant from the jacket coolant pump to the coolant jacket. The jacket cooling system may further comprise a bypass circuit configured to divert the coolant away from the delivery conduit and the engine, and an electronically-controlled bypass valve in the bypass circuit. The bypass valve may allow at least some of the coolant to flow through the bypass circuit when a valve position of the bypass valve is at least partially open.

Provided is a method for controlling a water temperature of an engine. The method includes: collecting outlet water temperatures of the engine at predetermined time intervals (S101); when a number of the collected outlet water temperatures of the engine is greater than or equal to a predetermined number, determining a water temperature variation function of the outlet water temperatures of the engine with time according to collected each outlet water temperature of the engine and collection time corresponding to the each outlet water temperature of the engine (S102); and determining performance parameters of a cooling system under the water temperature variation function, and controlling controllable parts of the cooling system according to the performance parameters of the cooling system (S103). Further provided is an apparatus for controlling the water temperature of the engine.
