ＥＣＵ１６による遮断バルブ１４の制御フローを図２により説明する。
The control flow of the shutoff valve 14 by the ECU 16 will be described with reference to FIG.
先ず、ＥＣＵ１６は、ステップＳ１において、エンジン２が暖機中であるか否かを判定する。次いで、ステップＳ１においてエンジン２が暖機中である（ＹＥＳ）と判断した場合、ＥＣＵ１６は、ステップＳ２において遮断バルブ１４を閉とし、本制御をリターンする。一方、ステップＳ１においてエンジン２が暖機中でない（ＮＯ；通常運転時）と判断した場合、ＥＣＵ１６は、ステップＳ３において遮断バルブ１４を開とし、本制御をリターンする。
First, in step S1, the ECU 16 determines whether or not the engine 2 is warming up. Next, when it is determined in step S1 that the engine 2 is warming up (YES), the ECU 16 closes the cutoff valve 14 in step S2 and returns this control. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1 that the engine 2 is not warming up (NO; during normal operation), the ECU 16 opens the shutoff valve 14 in step S3, and returns to this control.
次に、本実施形態の作用を説明する。
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
エンジン２の暖機中には、ＥＣＵ１６によって遮断バルブ１４が閉とされ、エンジン２（シリンダブロック３、シリンダヘッド４）には冷却水が流れず、ＥＧＲクーラ１２のみに冷却水が流れるようになる。この際、絞り部１３によりＥＧＲクーラ１２への水流量は制限される。ＥＧＲクーラ１２へはウォーターポンプ９の全水流量を流す必要はないので、ＥＧＲクーラ１２への水流量を制限する。
During the warm-up of the engine 2, the shutoff valve 14 is closed by the ECU 16, so that cooling water does not flow into the engine 2 (cylinder block 3, cylinder head 4), and cooling water flows only into the EGR cooler 12. . At this time, the water flow rate to the EGR cooler 12 is limited by the throttle unit 13. Since it is not necessary to flow the total water flow rate of the water pump 9 to the EGR cooler 12, the water flow rate to the EGR cooler 12 is limited.
一方、エンジン２の通常運転時には、ＥＣＵ１６によって遮断バルブ１４が開とされ、エンジン２（シリンダブロック３、シリンダヘッド４）、及びＥＧＲクーラ１２に冷却水が流れるようになる。この際、絞り部１３によりＥＧＲクーラ１２への水流量は制限される。ＥＧＲクーラ１２で要求される水流量がエンジン２で要求される水流量と比較して少ないので、ＥＧＲクーラ１２への水流量を制限する。
On the other hand, during normal operation of the engine 2, the shutoff valve 14 is opened by the ECU 16, and cooling water flows through the engine 2 (cylinder block 3, cylinder head 4) and the EGR cooler 12. At this time, the water flow rate to the EGR cooler 12 is limited by the throttle unit 13. Since the water flow rate required by the EGR cooler 12 is smaller than the water flow rate required by the engine 2, the water flow rate to the EGR cooler 12 is limited.
本実施形態によれば、エンジン２の暖機促進のため、エンジン２の暖機中は遮断バルブ１４を遮断してエンジン２（シリンダブロック３、シリンダヘッド４）への通水を止めても、ＥＧＲクーラ１２への通水は継続されるので、ＥＧＲクーラ１２内の冷却水の沸騰を起こすことが無い。
According to this embodiment, in order to promote warm-up of the engine 2, even if the shutoff valve 14 is shut off and water flow to the engine 2 (cylinder block 3, cylinder head 4) is stopped during warm-up of the engine 2, Since the water flow to the EGR cooler 12 is continued, the cooling water in the EGR cooler 12 does not boil.
また、エンジン２への通水を止めてもＥＧＲクーラ１２内の冷却水の沸騰を起こすことが無く、遮断バルブ１４の遮断時間を長くすることができるので、よりエンジン２の暖機を促進し、結果として燃費を良くすることができる。
Further, even if the water flow to the engine 2 is stopped, the cooling water in the EGR cooler 12 does not boil and the shut-off time of the shut-off valve 14 can be lengthened. As a result, fuel consumption can be improved.
以上、本発明の好適な実施形態について説明したが、本発明は上述の実施形態には限定されず他の様々な実施形態を採ることが可能である。
The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various other embodiments can be adopted.
例えば、第二ＥＧＲ冷却水管１１ｂ（つまり、ＥＧＲクーラ１２よりも下流側のＥＧＲ冷却水路１１）に絞り部１３を配設しても良い。このようにしても、ＥＧＲクーラ１２への水流量を制限することが可能である。
For example, the throttle portion 13 may be disposed in the second EGR cooling water pipe 11b (that is, the EGR cooling water channel 11 on the downstream side of the EGR cooler 12). Even in this way, it is possible to limit the water flow rate to the EGR cooler 12.
さらに、本発明は、ディーゼルエンジン、ガソリンエンジン等の各種エンジンの冷却回路に適用することができる。
Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to cooling circuits for various engines such as diesel engines and gasoline engines.
