Methods and systems are provided for a cooling arrangement of a hybrid vehicle. In one example, a system comprises a high-temperature coolant circuit with a pressure line shaped to actuate an actuator of a pressure-actuated valve arranged in a low-temperature coolant circuit.

The regasification apparatus (1) is able to supply engines of vehicles with natural gas stored below zero, in liquid form, inside a cryogenic cylinder (H), then heated by heating means (C), placed along a pipe (3) connecting said cryogenic tank (H) with the engine (M).

The apparatus (1) comprises a closed loop heat transfer fluid circulation assembly (10), for the storage of the cold energy extracted from the fuel during its regasification, and provides: a first tank (A), for containing at ambient temperature said heat transfer fluid, and an insulated second tank (B) where the latter is kept cold; a fluid/fluid heat exchanger (13), defining said heating means (C), in which said fluid, coming out of the first tank (A), is placed in heat transfer with the cold branch of the pipe (3) and therefore cooled, then stored in said second tank (B).

From the latter departs at least one insulated branch (15), to supply with cold fluid at least one utility (U1) present in the aforementioned vehicle, for example an air/fluid heat exchanger (E) located downstream an intercooler (F) of the engine (M). By means of a third pipe (18), the heat transfer fluid, heated back to ambient temperature, returns to the first tank (A).

The optimal working conditions of the apparatus (1) are entrusted to a programmable management system (20), connected to the vehicle navigator and/or remotely with a smartphone.

The present disclosure provides sufficient support rigidity of a supercharger and an intercooler, while reducing an increase in the overall height of an engine. The supercharger extends along a cylinder bank at a side of a surge tank, and is fixed to an intake manifold. The intercooler is located below the supercharger. A case of the intercooler is connected to a discharge port of the supercharger and an intake air introduction pipe of the intake manifold.

A cooling system for an internal combustion engine comprises a fluid circuit having an intercooler, a main cooler and a precooler. The intercooler is configured for receiving coolant and configured for heat exchange relation between the coolant and engine compressed air. The main cooler is configured for receiving the coolant from the intercooler and the internal combustion engine and configured for selectively delivering a first portion of the coolant from the main cooler to the precooler. The precooler is configured to deliver a flow of the coolant to the intercooler. The main cooler and the precooler are configured for cooling the coolant by heat exchange with at least one cooling flow.

Methods and systems are provided for a control device for adjusting coolant flow. In one example, the control device may be shaped to receive charge air, engine coolant, and charge-air cooler coolant to adjust a flow of charge-air cooler coolant to a radiator.

An intake air cooling apparatus abnormality detection system for an engine includes a first intake air temperature sensor that detects an intake air temperature in an intake pipe at the downstream side of an intercooler and a second intake air temperature sensor that detects the intake air temperature in an intake manifold. An abnormality determination unit determines that an abnormality occurs in an intercooler cooling water circuit if a state in which at least one of a value based on an output from the first intake air temperature sensor and a value based on an output from the second intake air temperature sensor exceeds a predetermined threshold value continues for a certain time or longer when a load state determination unit determines that the engine is in a high load state.

The present application refers to an internal combustion engine comprising a turbocharger, an intercooler and a cooling circuit for cooling of the intercooler, the cooling circuit comprising adjusting means for adjusting a temperature of a cooling liquid of the cooling circuit flowing through the intercooler, the internal combustion engine comprising a controller for controlling the adjusting means of the cooling circuit, the controller comprising a function for determining a dew point temperature of the charge air, characterized in that the controller is configured to control the temperature of the cooling liquid and/or of the intercooler relative to the dew point temperature.

Cooling systems for cooling various heat generating components of a vehicle are provided. A cooling system for a vehicle, according to one embodiment, includes a primary cooling assembly arranged near the front of the vehicle. The primary cooling assembly may include at least one of an air conditioning condenser configured for cooling an interior passenger space of the vehicle and a radiator for cooling a power source of the vehicle. The cooling system also includes a first electronics radiator arranged near the front of the vehicle in front of and/or adjacent to the primary cooling assembly and a second electronics radiator arranged in front of and/or adjacent to the primary cooling assembly. One or more cooling lines are operable for carrying a cooling fluid between the first and second electronics radiators and one or more electronic components disposed in the vehicle remote from the first and second electronics radiators.

A side part structure of an engine having cylinders lined up in a front-and-rear direction of a vehicle body, is provided. The structure includes auxiliary machinery disposed in a front part of one side wall part of the engine in a vehicle width direction, a fuel system component disposed in a rear part of the side wall part, an intercooler disposed between the auxiliary machinery and the fuel system component, and a first protector member disposed between the intercooler and the fuel system component. At least a front part of the first protector member is formed so as to be separated from the side wall part as it extends rearward. A front part of the intercooler is disposed rearward of the auxiliary machinery and the intercooler is disposed along the first protector member so as to be separated from the side wall part as it extends rearward.

The present invention relates to a charge air cooling unit comprising a first charge air cooler having a first end face provided with a first cooling fluid inlet and a first cooling fluid outlet and a second charge air cooler having a second end face provided with a second cooling fluid inlet and a second cooling fluid outlet. Specifically, the second charge air cooler is arranged adjacent to the first charge air cooler such that the first end face and the second end face are oriented in the same direction.
