- Device according to Claim 1, characterized in that, when the internal combustion engine (1) is provided with an exhaust gas turbocharger (13) including a pressurized oil inlet passage (18) and a pressurized oil outlet passage (19) for the lubrication of the bearings (17) of the shaft (16) of the turbine of the turbocharger (13), a by-pass circuit (21) with a flow controlled by a control solenoid valve (22) is connected in parallel with the pressurized oil inlet and outlet passages (18,19), the solenoid valve (22) being electronically guided to its open position, when the temperature of the coolant is lower than the second temperature setting, so as to allow the circulation of oil through the by-pass circuit (21) to increase the oil circulation flow passing through the turbocharger (13) as long as the pressure of oil going through it and heated by the exhaust gases is higher than a preset pressure level which corresponds to a normal operating oil pressure of the engine when hot.
- Device according to Claim 2, characterized in that the outlet passage (19) of the turbocharger (13) is connected to the inlet of the lubricating oil circulating pump (12) of the engine.
- Device according to Claim 2 or 3, characterized in that the control solenoid valve is electronically guided to its closed position when the temperature of the coolant is higher than the second temperature setting.
- Device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the assembly forming a solenoid valve comprises two two-way solenoid valves, a first solenoid valve connected in series in the by-pass pipe of the coolant/oil heat exchanger and a second solenoid valve connected in series between the inlet of the heat exchanger and the connection point of the by-pass pipe to the pipe connecting the oil pump to the heat exchanger, in that the first solenoid valve is open and the second solenoid valve is closed when the temperature of the coolant is lower than the second temperature setting and in that the first solenoid valve is closed and the second solenoid valve is open when the temperature of the coolant is higher than the second temperature setting.
- Device according to one of Claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the assembly forming a solenoid valve comprises a three-way solenoid valve.
