Abstract:
The cooling device according to the present invention includes an electric water pump for circulating cooling water through an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, and controls the discharge flow rate of the electric water pump as follows. Until the cooling water temperature. TW reaches a warm-up completion determination temperature, the cooling device increases the discharge flow rate along with an increase of the cooling water temperature TW. After the cooling water temperature TW reaches the warm-up completion determination temperature, the cooling device controls the discharge flow rate so as to bring the combustion chamber wall temperature TCYL toward a target temperature. Thereby, the cooling device can warm up the internal combustion engine more efficiently, and improve the combustion performance of the internal combustion engine after the completion of warm-up.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for controlling a cooling device for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, the cooling device including an electric water pump for circulating cooling water through the internal combustion engine of the vehicle, the control method comprising the steps of:\n comparing a temperature of the cooling water with a warm-up completion determination temperature; controlling a discharge flow rate of the electric water pump according to the temperature of the cooling water when the temperature of the cooling water is below the warm-up completion determination temperature; and controlling the discharge flow rate of the electric water pump according to a combustion chamber wall temperature of the internal combustion engine when the temperature of the cooling water is above the warm-up completion determination temperature.
