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 8):
A control method for an internal combustion engine, wherein the engine includes 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 control method comprising:\n controlling the forced-induction device; repeatedly obtaining a temperature of the coolant in the intake-air cooling system; determining whether the obtained temperature is higher than or equal to a forced-induction limiting control starting temperature, which is lower than a boiling point of the coolant; on condition that the temperature of the coolant in the intake-air cooling system has risen to a value at which the determination is made that the obtained temperature is higher than or equal to the forced-induction limiting control starting temperature, starting 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 increasing an extent of limiting of the forced induction as the obtained temperature becomes closer to the boiling point of the coolant in the intake-air cooling system in the forced-induction limiting control.
