Abstract:
A cooling system for an internal combustion engine of a motor-vehicle presenting a circuit for a coolant of the engine. The circuit includes a thermally insulated tank for the coolant of the engine, connected to an outer portion of the cooling circuit. The tank is arranged in the circuit to retain a defined quantity of coolant at a temperature above the ambient temperature when the engine is inactive, and for causing this quantity of coolant to flow, at a temperature above the ambient temperature, into the cooling circuit of the engine, after a subsequent start of the engine, during an engine warm up stage. The circuit also includes an expansion vessel connected to the outer circuit portion of the coolant of the engine. The expansion vessel has a thermally insulated body and constitutes the thermally insulated tank for the engine coolant.

Claim (Index 3):
The cooling system according to  claim 2 , wherein:\n said electronic control unit is programmed in such a way that after starting the engine and before said first step wherein the electronically-controlled distribution valve is maintained in its first open condition, there is an operative preliminary step wherein:\n the electronically-controlled distribution valve is maintained in said closed condition, \n a thermostat, which is interposed in a third conduit which connects said second conduit in a point downstream of said pump with said inlet of the lubrication oil cooler, is in an open condition, so that the coolant leaving the engine flows through said first duct, through said second duct, through said expansion vessel and through said third duct, causing feeding to the lubrication oil cooler of the engine of the liquid coolant in the defined quantity previously stored in the expansion vessel, \n in said first, second and third steps, the thermostat is in a closed condition.
