A method for controlling a vehicle device (10) configured to cool of a vehicle unit (20) includes reading in temperature information which is functionally related to an operation of the vehicle unit (20) and determining a temperature gradient. The method also includes checking whether the information read in exceeds a threshold value for the information read in, checking whether the temperature gradient determined exceeds a threshold value, and emitting a signal for the control of the vehicle device (10) as a function of check results of the checking steps, in order to bring about the cooling of the vehicle unit (20) by the vehicle device (10). In addition, a control unit (100) for carrying out the method and a vehicle (200) with a control unit (100) of that type.

A cooling system includes an internal combustion engine, a coolant pump in fluid communication with the internal combustion engine, and a liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger configured to receive coolant from the internal combustion engine via the coolant pump. The cooling system also includes a bypass valve connected downstream of the coolant pump, the bypass valve configured to close a fluid path that connects the coolant pump and the liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger.

Methods and systems are provided for a coolant system. In one example, a method may include diagnosing a condition of a pump of the coolant system based on a temperature change of coolant. The diagnostic may determine if the pump is stuck on or off.

A cooling system includes a motor block, a radiator provided with a fan, a pump with an electrical motor to pump the coolant in a cooling circuit, a first temperature sensor at the outlet of the motor block, a second temperature sensor at the outlet of the radiator, a control unit-connected to the temperature sensors and to the electrical motor of the pump to actuate the electrical motor of the pump according to the temperature values detected by the sensor temperatures.

A system that may include an engine, and a fan configured to vary a measured engine temperature of the engine during operation. A vehicle controller may also be provided having one or more processors that may be configured to determine an ice risk characteristic of the engine, operate the fan to cool the engine based on the ice risk characteristic, and operate the fan to rotate in reverse based on the ice risk characteristic.

Cooling systems of a work vehicle that provide targeted cooling, regenerative cooling and/or a combination therein. A cooling system includes plural fans configured to provide airflow across a radiator and a fan controller in communication with the plural fans. The fan controller is configured to receive operating condition data associated with at least one of the radiator and an engine. The fan controller is configured to determine a total target heat rejection value based on the operating condition data; determine a plurality of target fan operation values for the plural fans, based on the total target heat rejection value and the operating condition data; and control operation of the plural fans at plural independent fan speeds based on the plural fan operation values.

A method for preventing an engine overheat based on a coolant temperature applied to an engine system 1 is provided, in which a controller 50 checks if a coolant coming from an engine 10 is distributed to any one of a heater core 25B and an ATF warmer 25A as a radiator 23 is switched from a distribution blocking state (i.e., radiator closed) at a diagnosis start to a distribution state (i.e., radiator open) during the diagnosis under the control of an opening degree of an ITM valve 40, diagnoses lack of a coolant amount using factors B determined by an inlet/outlet coolant temperature difference T of the engine 10 through first and second water temperature sensors 30A and 30B as a factor cumulative value A, and then controls the ITM valve 40 to a full open state in a state where a coolant temperature increase is predicted.

A working machine includes a prime mover, a hydraulic pump driven by power of the prime mover, a cooler including a cooling fan rotated by either the power of the prime mover or hydraulic fluid delivered from the hydraulic pump, and a controller configured or programmed to perform a reduction control for reducing a target fan rotation speed that is a target rotation speed of the cooling fan in response to reduction of an actual prime mover rotation speed that is an actual rotation speed of the prime mover, and to perform, after the reduction control, a restoration control for restoring the target fan rotation speed. The controller is configured or programmed to make a difference between a reduction rate of the target fan rotation speed in the reduction control and an increase rate of the target fan rotation speed in the restoration control.

A working machine includes a machine body, an engine provided on the machine body, a radiator to cool a coolant supplied to the engine, a first fan provided on one directional surface side of the radiator, the first fan being rotatable in either one of a first direction to suck external air to an interior of the machine body and a second direction to generate an air flow for discharging air from the interior of the machine body to an exterior of the machine body, and a second fan provided on the other directional surface side of the radiator and configured to be rotated in the second direction.

The present disclosure provides a method and system, for controlling a coolant circulating in an engine, including: selecting a reference inlet temperature for a coolant flowing through a coolant inlet of an engine; controlling an open rate of the coolant control valve unit based on the reference inlet temperature; sensing an actual inlet temperature of the coolant flowing through the coolant inlet of the engine; sensing an actual outlet temperature of a coolant flowing through a coolant outlet of the engine; calculating a difference value between the actual inlet temperature and the actual outlet temperature; and varying the reference inlet temperature according to the difference value.
