Definitions
- the invention relates to a cooling device for a liquid-cooled internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle with a cooler connected to the supply and return line of the internal combustion engine.
- Such a cooling device is known for example from EP 0 184 196 B1.
- This known device additionally contains a secondary flow return line from the expansion tank provided with the filling opening, bypassing the thermostat, to the connection of the return line to the internal combustion engine.
- the coolant is filled through the filler opening and distributed over the bypass return line bypassing the thermostat in the internal combustion engine. From the internal combustion engine, the coolant flows into the cooler via the supply line. Since the line cross-sections are designed according to the requirements of the operation of the cooling system, the filling process is time-consuming, since the secondary flow return line generally has a smaller diameter than the flow and return line and at the same time the temperature-controlled thermostatic valve the coolant flows through the short circuit between the supply and return lines and not through the cooler.
- the internal combustion engine In order to ensure that no significant air pockets remain in the cooling system after filling, the internal combustion engine is operated for a while at idle with the filler opening open. Due to improvements in consumption and emissions, the cooling system is designed for a higher operating pressure than the ambient pressure, since the coolant only begins to boil at elevated temperatures. The opening temperature of the thermostat is designed accordingly. If, after filling, the internal combustion engine is operated with the cooling system open, the temperature-controlled thermostat does not respond, or responds only very slightly, when the boiling temperature of the coolant, which occurs at ambient pressure, is reached. It can therefore come to overheating of the internal combustion engine while the cooler is idling with the filler opening open, since the thermostatic valve essentially does not lead the coolant through the cooler, but through the short circuit, due to the temperature being too low.
- the temperature-controlled thermostatic valve can be controlled by electrical heating.
- the electrical heating is by actuation a switch can be activated, which is attached to the filling opening.
- the electrical heating of the thermostatic valve simulates a high temperature of the coolant, as a result of which the thermostatic valve does not pass the coolant through the short circuit between the supply and return lines, as is usually the case when the internal combustion engine is warming up, but at least partially, but preferably completely, through the cooler.
- the electrical switch can either be switched during the entire filling process or, if necessary, arbitrarily by manual operation. With this cooling device according to the invention, a rapid filling of the cooler with coolant is also possible, since the boiling temperature of the coolant is prevented by the arbitrary opening of the thermostat towards the cooler and, at the same time, air pockets escape faster through the improved coolant flow.
- the electrical switch on the filling opening is actuated by removing the cover from the filling opening.
- the switch can be removed by completely removing the lid from the filling opening or by a movement of the lid deviating from the usual rotary movement of the lid during the removal process of the lid, e.g. B. pushing or pulling.
- the thermostatic valve can be heated either automatically by removing the cover or arbitrarily for a certain time before removing the cover, as required. This is a particularly simple procedure to arbitrarily trigger cooling of the coolant.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is the subject of claim 3.
- the actuation of the switch causes the switch to close in order to close a circuit for electrically heating the thermostatic valve directly via this switch.
- This further development according to the invention is a particularly simple and inexpensive device for triggering an arbitrary heating of the thermostatic valve.
- the cooling device for an internal combustion engine 10 shown in FIG. 1 contains a cooler 11. Between the internal combustion engine 10 and the cooler 11 there is a coolant pump 12 which generates a flow of the coolant in the direction shown by the arrows.
- a feed line 13 leads from the coolant outlet of the internal combustion engine 10 to the coolant inlet of the cooler 11.
- a return line 14 leads from the coolant outlet of the cooler 11 to the coolant inlet of the internal combustion engine 10.
- a short-circuit line 16 branches off from the flow line 13 to the thermostatic valve 15.
- the cooling device essentially operates in three modes.
- a first mode of operation the so-called warm-up mode, in particular after the cold start of the internal combustion engine 10, the thermostatic valve 15 is set such that the coolant flow coming from the internal combustion engine 10 is essentially completely returned to the internal combustion engine 10 via the short-circuit line 16.
- the cooling system works in mixed mode, i. H. the coolant coming from the internal combustion engine 10 runs partly through the cooler 11 and partly via the short-circuit line 16 back to the internal combustion engine 10.
- the cooling system operates in the cooler mode, i. H. the coolant coming from the internal combustion engine 10 is essentially completely returned to the internal combustion engine 10 through the cooler 11.
- the mode of operation of the cooling device can be adjusted by heating the thermostatic valve 15, that is to say, for example, by heating the expansion element, via an electrical line 17 in the direction of the cooler operation, or it can be switched completely to cooler operation. This reduces the temperature level of the coolant compared to the temperature level achieved with an operating mode without heating the thermostatic valve 15.
- the supply of the thermostatic valve 15 with electrical energy via the line 17 is initiated, for example, by a control unit 18 which receives and evaluates several signals of operating variables.
- a temperature sensor 19, which detects the actual temperature of the coolant and transmits it to the control unit 18, is usually arranged at the coolant outlet of the internal combustion engine 10.
- a temperature sensor 20 can also be arranged, which detects the temperature of the intake air and passes it on to the control unit 18.
- the control device is preferably 18 integrated in a known electronic engine control 21.
- the thermostatic valve 15 is electrically heated via the line 17, which is connected to the output of the control device 18, as a function of temperature values and other operating variables of the internal combustion engine.
- the possibility of electrically heating the thermostatic valve 15 is used according to the invention in order to enable the cooler to be filled quickly by preventing the coolant from overheating and by improving the coolant flow.
- the output of a controllable switch SS of the control device 18 is connected to the thermostatic valve 15 via the electrical line 17, the electrical line 17 being connected to a positive voltage U + .
- the thermostatic valve 15 is connected in a conventional manner to the short-circuit line 16 and the return line 14 and is controlled via the electrical line 17 (cf. FIG. 1).
- the electrical line 17 is additionally connected to one pole of a switch S, the other pole of the switch S being connected to ground.
- the electrical switch S is attached to the fill opening E of an expansion tank A of the cooler 11.
- the electrical line 17 is connected to ground as required by the control device 18 with the controllable switch SS. If the circuit between the positive voltage U + and the ground connection of the controllable switch SS is closed, the thermostatic valve is heated, which causes the cooling device to operate is shifted in the direction of the cooler operation.
- the circuit between the positive voltage U + and ground can also be closed by the electrical switch S.
- the electrical switch S When the cover D in the filling opening E is closed, the electrical switch S is opened, whereas when the cover D is removed from the filling opening E, the electrical switch S is closed and the thermostatic valve 15 is thus automatically heated.
- the cover D with a latching device V, by means of which the cover D engages in a predetermined position when it is opened, after which the cover D can only be rotated further if it has previously been pressed down.
- the electrical switch S is not permanently closed when the cover D is completely open, but only for the time during which the cover D is pressed down.
- the ventilation run can thus be carried out while the cooler 11 is being filled with coolant, with the cover D closed, since opening the cover D always causes the coolant to cool down quickly by pressing down the cover D and, at the same time, prevents the coolant from boiling out.
- the cooler not only can the cooler be filled more quickly, but also the safety of the person who carries out the filling is ensured.
