- the decreasing straight line representing the period P is followed by a constant horizontal portion.
- the opening time To of the actuator 16 can be of the order of a few seconds and for example five seconds.
- the period of the actuator 16 control signal can vary, for example, between 5 and 50 seconds.
- any other suitable type of signal can be used to control the second actuator 16.
- the circuit 2 comprises a third branch 5 provided with an electronically controlled actuator 15 and associated with means 10 forming direct return of fluid or by-pass.
- the control means 19 can regulate the circulation of the cooling fluid in the bypass branch 5 as a function of the temperature T of this fluid.
- the quantity of fluid admitted to circulate in the branch 5 by-pass increases when the temperature of the fluid increases from the first Ti towards the second threshold temperature T 2 .
- the electronically controlled actuator 15 of the bypass branch 5 is of the proportional type.
- the control means 1 9 can limit the flow of fluid determined in the flow of fluid in the branch 5 bypass. That is to say that the actuator 15 of the branch 5 bypass is partially open Of.
- the partial opening Of of the actuator 1 5 can ensure a leakage rate in the branch 5 bypass included between 1/50 th to about 1/5 th of the maximum flow of branch 5.
- the control means 19 at least temporarily control the total opening O of the bypass actuator 15 (FIG. 7). Furthermore, when the temperature of the fluid is between the first Ti and second threshold temperatures T 2 , the degree of opening of the actuator 15 can be at least temporarily proportional to the temperature T of the cooling fluid. More precisely, between Ti and T 2 , the opening of the bypass actuator 15 increases when the temperature T of the fluid increases and, decreases when the temperature T of the fluid decreases. The variation in the opening of the actuator 15 can be proportional to the temperature of the fluid T.
- the curve representative of the opening of the actuator 1 5 as a function of the temperature T of the fluid can have a hysteresis H. That is to say that, the increase in the opening of the actuator 15 begins after the temperature of the liquid T exceeds the first reference temperature Ti by a first determined value E. Likewise, the reduction in the opening of the actuator 15 begins after the temperature T of the liquid becomes lower, by a first determined value E, than the second reference temperature T 2 . That is to say that the openings and closings of the actuator 15 are produced in a manner offset respectively from the thresholds of temperatures Ti and T 2 .
- the E values of these offsets are, for example, of the order of 5 degrees.
- the circuit comprises a fourth branch 4 provided with an electronically controlled actuator 14 and provided with means 9 forming a radiator.
- the radiator means 9 can be coupled to a fan motor group 30, which can also be controlled by the control means 19.
- the actuator 14 of the fourth branch 4 is of the proportional type.
- control means 1 9 can control the actuator 15 of the branch 5 bypass as a function of the opening and closing of the actuator 14 of branch 4 radiator.
- FIG. 8 illustrates the% O opening percentage of the actuators 15, 14 of the third and fourth branches 5, 4 as a function of the temperature T of the coolant.
- the control means 19 can close the actuator 15 of the branch 5 bypass when the actuator 14 of the radiator branch 4 is open O.
- the actuator 15 of the branch 5 bypass is open O when the actuator 14 of the branch 4 radiator is closed F.
- the opening of the actuator 15 of the branch 5 bypass is inversely proportional to the opening of the actuator 14 of branch 4 radiator.
- the closings and openings of the actuator 15 of the bypass branch 5 can be produced with a temperature offset R determined relative to the openings and closings of the actuator 14 of the radiator branch 4.
- the temperature shift R can be of the order of a few degrees, for example five degrees.
- control means 19 can control the ventilation means 30 as a function of the temperature of the coolant. More specifically, the speed of rotation of the ventilation means 30 can increase when the temperature T of the coolant increases.
- the speed V of rotation of the ventilation means 30 increases in proportion to the speed of variation of the coolant temperature. dt
- Fig ure 9 illustrates two examples of lines d 1 and d2 representing the speed of rotation of the fan motor unit as a function of the temperature T of the liquid.
- the two lines d 1 and d2 have different slopes each representative of a
- T of the coolant can be calculated by the control means 1 9.
- the cooling circuit 2 shown in FIG. 1 also includes a fifth branch 7 provided with an electronically controlled actuator 17 and in which are arranged means 12 forming a cabin air heater.
- the air heater means 17 can be shaped to provide heating of the passenger compartment to a first set temperature Te determined by the user of the vehicle.
- the control means 20 cooperate with the acquisition means 22, to determine the temperature Te outside the vehicle. When the outside temperature Te is lower than the first set temperature Te, the control means 20 can open the actuator of the air heater branch 7. Similarly, when the outside temperature Te is higher than the first set temperature Te, the control means 20 can close the actuator of the air heater branch 7.
- the air heater means 12 may include an air conditioning function for the passenger compartment at a second setpoint temperature Tr.
- the control means 20 can open the actuator of the air heater branch 7.
- the control means 20 can close the actuator of the air heater branch 7.
- This fifth branch 7 may also optionally include additional heating means 160 and / or means 150 for recirculating the exhaust gases of the engine 1 at the intake.
- the means 150 forming recirculation of at least part of the exhaust gases from the engine 1 on intake or "Exaust Gas Recycling (EGR)", make it possible to control the temperature of the combustion gases of the engine for, for example , anti-pollution treatment.
- EGR Exaust Gas Recycling
- circuit 2 shown in FIG. 1 comprises a sixth branch 44 in which is located means 140 forming a heating of the intake air of the engine 1.
- This sixth branch 44 is also provided with an electronically controlled actuator 29 controlled by the control means 19.
- FIG. 2 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the cooling device according to the invention.
- the device represented in FIG. 2 differs from that of FIG. 1 in that the air heater means 12 and the heating means 160 are arranged in a seventh branch 45 which is distinct from the sixth branch 7 associated with the means 150 for gas recirculation exhaust (EGR). Furthermore, the seventh branch 45 is devoid of electronically controlled actuator.
- EGR gas recirculation exhaust
- the invention cannot be limited to the exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the cooling device can comprise only part of the thermal equipment 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 140, 150, 16 and / or branches 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 44, 45 described above.
- one or more of the branches 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 44, 45 can be devoid of electronically controlled actuator.
- the information acquisition means 22 can be configured to detect a possible failure of at least one of the electronically controlled actuators.
- the control means 19 can ensure the free circulation of the fluid in at least some of the branches, and preferably in all branches. That is, when a system failure is detected, all of the valves in circuit 2 are open.
- the cooling device according to the invention while being of simple structure, makes it possible to manage heat exchanges in real time and in an optimum manner.
