Abstract:
A controller includes a forced-induction-device controlling section, an obtaining section that is configured to repeatedly obtain a temperature of the coolant in the intake-air cooling system, a determining section that is configured to determine whether the temperature obtained by the obtaining section is higher than or equal to a forced-induction limiting control starting temperature. On condition that the temperature of the coolant has risen to a value at which the determining section determines that the temperature obtained by the obtaining section is higher than or equal to the forced-induction limiting control starting temperature, the forced-induction-device controlling section starts a forced-induction limiting control to lower a forced-induction pressure In the forced-induction limiting control, the forced-induction-device controlling section increases an extent of limiting of the forced induction as the temperature obtained by the obtaining section becomes closer to the boiling point.

Claim (Index 1):
A controller for an internal combustion engine, wherein the controller is configured to be employed in an internal combustion engine including a forced-induction device, an intercooler that cools an air compressed by the forced-induction device, a radiator that releases heat from coolant that has passed through the intercooler, and a pump that is arranged in an intake-air cooling system in which the intercooler and the radiator are arranged, the controller comprising:\n a forced-induction-device controlling section that is configured to control the forced-induction device; an obtaining section that is configured to repeatedly obtain a temperature of the coolant in the intake-air cooling system; and a determining section that is configured to determine whether the temperature obtained by the obtaining section is higher than or equal to a forced-induction limiting control starting temperature, which is lower than a boiling point of the coolant, wherein the forced-induction-device controlling section is configured to, on condition that the temperature of the coolant in the intake-air cooling system has risen to a value at which the determining section determines that the temperature obtained by the obtaining section is higher than or equal to the forced-induction limiting control starting temperature, start a forced-induction limiting control by which a forced-induction pressure is lowered to a value lower than that before the determination that the obtained temperature is higher than or equal to the forced-induction limiting control starting temperature, and the forced-induction-device controlling section is configured to, in the forced-induction limiting control, increase an extent of limiting of the forced induction as the temperature obtained by the obtaining section becomes closer to the boiling point of the coolant in the intake-air cooling system.
