That's how it shows DE 100 45 613 A1 a method for coolant temperature control of an engine cooling, wherein the coolant temperature is regulated in dependence on a load and / or a rotational speed of the internal combustion engine.

- the integral value of the exhaust gas mass flow over time reflects the actual entry of heat energy into the coolant. If the integral value exceeds a previously defined integral threshold value, the valve is opened completely or step by step. As a result, local overheating of the internal combustion engine (so-called "hot spots") is effectively prevented on the one hand and, on the other hand, the fastest possible achievement of low friction power is achieved.
- a cold start in this context can be understood to mean a startup of the internal combustion engine in which the coolant temperature approximately corresponds to the temperature of the ambient air.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kühlmittelkreislauf für eine Brennkraftmaschine, wobei das Kühlmittel zwischen der Brennkraftmaschine und einer Wärmesenke in Abhängigkeit eines schaltbaren Ventils, das im Ausgangszustand bei einem Kaltstart der Brennkraftmaschine geschlossen ist, zirkulieren kann, sowie ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines Kühlmittelkreislaufs.The invention relates to a coolant circuit for an internal combustion engine, wherein the coolant between the internal combustion engine and a heat sink in dependence of a switchable valve, which is closed in the initial state at a cold start of the internal combustion engine, can circulate, and a method for operating a coolant circuit.
Derartige Kühlmittelkreisläufe werden insbesondere im Fahrzeugbau dazu verwendet, um das von der Brennkraftmaschine erwärmte Kühlmittel durch Zirkulation über die Wärmesenke zu kühlen. Dadurch wird die Brennkraftmaschine vor Schäden durch Überhitzung geschützt. Zur Verringerung der Reibleistung der Brennkraftmaschine im Sinne einer Wirkungsgradverbesserung, ist bei einem Kaltstart der Brennkraftmaschine eine rasche Erwärmung der Brennkraftmaschine und dementsprechend auch des Kühlmittels wünschenswert. Aus diesem Grund kann ein in einen geschlossenen Zustand geschaltetes Ventil die Kühlmittelzirkulation so lange unterbinden, bis eine ausreichende Erwärmung erreicht wurde.Such coolant circuits are used, in particular in vehicle construction, to cool the coolant heated by the internal combustion engine by circulating it via the heat sink. As a result, the internal combustion engine is protected against damage due to overheating. To reduce the friction of the internal combustion engine in terms of efficiency improvement, a rapid warming of the internal combustion engine and, accordingly, the coolant is desirable in a cold start of the engine. For this reason, a valve that is switched to a closed state can prevent coolant circulation until sufficient heating has been achieved.
Die Ermittlung des Zeitpunkts zum Öffnen des Ventils erfolgt nach dem Stand der Technik in Abhängigkeit von der Überschreitung einer Drehmoment- bzw. Drehzahlschwelle durch die Brennkraftmaschine. So zeigt die

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher einen Kühlmittelkreislauf für eine Brennkraftmaschine, sowie ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines Kühlmittelkreislaufs bereitzustellen, das einen wirkungsgradoptimierten Kaltstart der Brennkraftmaschine ermöglicht.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a coolant circuit for an internal combustion engine, and a method for operating a coolant circuit, which enables an efficiency-optimized cold start of the internal combustion engine.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 bzw. 5 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of
Kühlmittelkreislauf für eine Brennkraftmaschine, wobei das Kühlmittel zwischen der Brennkraftmaschine und einer Wärmesenke in Abhängigkeit eines schaltbaren Ventils, das im Ausgangszustand bei einem Kaltstart der Brennkraftmaschine geschlossen ist, zirkulieren kann und wobei das Ventil in Abhängigkeit eines von der Brennkraftmaschine emittierten Abgasmassenstroms in einen zumindest teilweise geöffneten Folgezustand schaltbar ist, wobei eine Steuereinrichtung ein Integral des Abgasmassenstroms nach der Zeit ermittelt und bei Überschreiten eines Integralschwellwertes das Ventil in den Folgezustand schaltet.Coolant circuit for an internal combustion engine, wherein the coolant between the internal combustion engine and a heat sink in response to a switchable valve, which is closed in the initial state at a cold start of the internal combustion engine, circulate and wherein the valve depending on an emitted from the internal combustion engine exhaust gas mass flow in an at least partially open Subsequent state is switchable, wherein a control device determines an integral of the exhaust gas mass flow after the time and switches on exceeding a Integralschwellwertes the valve in the subsequent state.
Indem die Öffnung des Ventils nach dem Kaltstart vom emittierten Abgasmassenstrom abhängig gemacht wird, kann sehr genau der optimale Zeitpunkt zur Beendigung der schnellen Erwärmung der Brennkraftmaschine ermittelt werden. Der Integralwert des Abgasmassenstroms nach der Zeit spiegelt den tatsächlichen Eintrag von Wärmeenergie in das Kühlmittel wieder. Überschreitet der Integralwert einen vorher definierten Integralschwellwert, wird das Ventil vollständig oder schrittweise geöffnet. Dadurch werden auf der einen Seite lokale Überhitzungen der Brennkraftmaschine (sog. "Hot-Spots") wirksam verhindert und auf der anderen Seite ein schnellstmögliches Erreichen einer niedrigen Reibleistung erzielt. Als Kaltstart kann in diesem Zusammenhang eine Inbetriebnahme der Brennkraftmaschine verstanden werden, bei der die Kühlmitteltemperatur annähernd der Temperatur der Umgebungsluft entspricht. Als Wärmesenke eignet sich ein üblicher Luft-Flüssigkeits-Wärmetauscher, der über eine Verschlauchung mit der Brennkraftmaschine einen Kreislauf ausbildet. Zur erzwungenen Zirkulation des Kühlmittels eignen sich Kühlmittelpumpen, beispielsweise Kreiselpumpen. Das Ventil ist vorzugsweise als beheizbarer Kennfeldthermostat ausgebildet bzw. wird per Pneumatik oder Elektromechanik betätigt.By making the opening of the valve after the cold start dependent on the emitted exhaust gas mass flow, the optimal time for ending the rapid heating of the internal combustion engine can be very accurately determined. The integral value of the exhaust gas mass flow over time reflects the actual entry of heat energy into the coolant. If the integral value exceeds a previously defined integral threshold value, the valve is opened completely or step by step. As a result, local overheating of the internal combustion engine (so-called "hot spots") is effectively prevented on the one hand and, on the other hand, the fastest possible achievement of low friction power is achieved. A cold start in this context can be understood to mean a startup of the internal combustion engine in which the coolant temperature approximately corresponds to the temperature of the ambient air. As a heat sink, a conventional air-liquid heat exchanger is suitable, which forms a circuit via a hosing with the internal combustion engine. Coolant pumps, for example centrifugal pumps, are suitable for the forced circulation of the coolant. The valve is preferably designed as a heatable map thermostat or is actuated by pneumatic or electromechanical.
