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 2):
The cooling system according to  claim 1 , wherein said electronic control unit is programmed in such a way that after starting the engine, the following operative steps are implemented in succession, with increase of said detected value of the temperature of the coolant:\n a first step wherein the electronically-controlled distribution valve is maintained in its first open condition, so that coolant leaving the engine is fed to the lubrication oil cooler of the engine, a second step wherein the electronically-controlled distribution valve is maintained in its second open condition, so that the coolant leaving the engine is fed both to the lubrication oil cooler of the engine, and to the passenger compartment heater, and a third step wherein the electronically-controlled distribution valve is maintained in its third open condition, so that the coolant leaving the engine is fed to the lubrication oil cooler of the engine, and to the passenger compartment heater, and to the radiator.
