- the method relates to a device, in particular for a motor vehicle, having an internal combustion engine and a cooling device, comprising a control unit for controlling and / or regulating a setpoint temperature value of a coolant and a temperature sensor for measuring the actual temperature value and a valve for setting a coolant volume flow to a cooler and / or to the internal combustion engine, wherein a second control unit is provided which interacts with the first control unit in order to provide the latter with an indication of the driver type, namely a sporty or economical driver type, and based on this information, a temperature setpoint can be determined by the first control unit.
- Such a device and such a method are known, for example, from DE 199 51 362 AI, which discloses a method for regulating the cooling water temperature, wherein a temperature sensor detects the cooling water temperature and a control device for the cooling water temperature actuates at least one valve and / or a fan, in order to obtain a predetermined temperature setpoint of the cooling water, a further sensor or an engine or vehicle control unit being provided, the signals of which are fed to the first control unit, the first control unit determining a temperature setpoint therefrom.
- the determination of the target value can be predefined depending on the driver type, for example a sporty or an economically driving driver.
- Fuel consumption can be optimized or minimized.
- the invention solves this problem by a method in which the volume flow of the coolant for cooling the internal combustion engine is regulated and / or controlled by the control device as a function of the determined driver type.
- the task is solved by an appropriate device.
- driver type in the operating parameters that the control method uses, the usual algorithms for determining a driver type being used here, after which it is used to determine a sporty driver type, whether frequent and rapid load changes are carried out and in the case of rare and slow load changes, an economic driver type is concluded.
- the risk of local overheating in particularly hot areas of the cylinder head can occur, as occurs, for example, when the engine load increases rapidly and rapidly can be avoided further.
- Parameters have a favorable effect on fuel consumption.
- the coolant temperature is controlled and / or regulated between an upper and a lower limit value by the control device.
- the previously customary 95 ° Celsius and the upper limit a value between 105 and 115 ° Celsius can be used as the lower limit.
- the coolant temperature is closer to the upper limit value the more the driver type is classified as an economical driver type. It can be provided here that, especially in part-load operation, a higher cooling water temperature can be set for the economical driver type than for the sporty driver type. In the case of intermediate values, it can be provided that the coolant temperature is set lower, depending on this intermediate value is closer to the driver type "sporty". The method is particularly advantageous if it is implemented at partial load. The method according to the invention can now lower a sporty driver type even when the engine is under partial load
- the coolant temperature will therefore be all the more at the lower limit, especially in part-load operation, the more the driver type is classified as a sporty driver type. This is the case with a sporty one
- Driver type the risk of loss of power when changing from part-load operation to full-load operation less, if at the price of increased fuel consumption.
- the economical driver type achieves lower fuel consumption due to the increased coolant temperature in part-load operation, which, however, is associated with a higher risk of performance loss in the transition from part-load operation to full-load operation. It can be provided that an adjustment in the direction of the upper limit value is only provided for the economical driver type if the internal combustion engine is operated in part-load operation.
- the sporty driver is assigned a higher coolant flow, at least in part-load operation, than the economical driver type. by virtue of This assignment reduces the risk of local overheating in particularly hot places in the cylinder head in a sporty driver, as can otherwise occur with a strong and rapid increase in the engine load. On the other hand, however, an increased
- the economical driver type only has a lower one in partial load operation
- Coolant volume flow is assigned and that in full load operation the coolant flow is the same for the sporty and for the economical driver.
- the invention relates to a control device of an internal combustion engine, in particular for a motor vehicle, on which a program is stored which can be run on a computing device, in particular a microprocessor, and is suitable for executing a method described above.
- the invention relates to the device already described for a motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine, wherein the internal combustion engine can in particular comprise a control and / or regulating device as described above.
- the control device which serves as the second control device, can in particular be the electronic engine control device.
- Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a cooling circuit of an internal combustion engine.
- the internal combustion engine in this case comprises an internal combustion engine 10 and a coolant pump 12, which can pump the coolant for cooling the internal combustion engine 10 through a cooling circuit.
- the coolant pump 12 can either be driven by a belt directly from the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine 10 or it can be an electrically driven coolant pump.
- the coolant pump 12 is connected to a device for varying the coolant volume flow 14.
- the coolant pump 12 is an electrical coolant pump, the variation of the volume flow is particularly easy to carry out.
- the coolant can either be completely or a part thereof via a cooler 18 flow and thereby be cooled.
- a thermostatic valve 20 and a bypass line 22 it can be achieved that coolant can flow past the cooler 18.
- a bypass line 22 can optionally be provided.
- coolant is conducted from the internal combustion engine 10, that is to say the internal combustion engine, via a heating heat exchanger 26 to the coolant pump 12.
- a passenger compartment can be heated, for example, via the heating heat exchanger 26.
- Thermostat valve 20 can be actuated by an electronic first control unit 30 via an actuating device 28. Depending on the position of the valve 20, a more or less large part of the coolant volume flow flows through the cooler 18 and is cooled. By mixing coolant that has been cooled by the radiator and coolant that has been cooled by the
- At least one temperature sensor 32 is provided in the cooling circuit, via which the control unit 30 can determine the temperature of the coolant, that is to say the actual temperature.
- a second electronic control device 34 is provided, which can in particular be the engine control device.
- This second control unit 34 determines from a method known in the prior art (in particular for the Transmission control) a driver type in the range between economical and sporty. A finite number of intermediate values can be provided between these two values, which can also be set. For this purpose, the control unit 34 evaluates the position of a selector switch, not shown.
- the second electronic control unit 34 has a data connection with the first electronic control unit 30 z. B. via a CAN bus.
- first and the second control device can also be implemented in a single control device.
- a corresponding control program is stored in the control unit 30 for carrying out a method according to the invention.
- the valve 20 is opened and closed via the actuating device 28.
- the control program also takes into account in particular the driver type determined in control unit 34.
- the control program in the control unit 30 actuates the valve 20 via the actuating device 28 in such a way that, for at least some values Operating parameters of the internal combustion engine for a sporty driver type a different, in particular a lower, value of the coolant temperature is set than for an economical driver type. If there is an intermediate value of the driver type between "sporty" and "economical", the coolant temperature for this intermediate value of the driver type can be set the lower the closer this intermediate value is to the driver type "sporty".
- a lower value of the coolant temperature is set for a sporty driver than for an economical driver for the operating parameter “partial load” of the internal combustion engine.
- the above applies to intermediate values.
- a higher value of the coolant temperature is not set for a sporty driver than for full load, while in an economical driver type a higher value of the coolant temperature is set for partial load than for full load.
- the temperature in partial load operation can be raised to 105-115 ° Celsius as the upper limit and the coolant temperature can only be reduced to 95 ° Celsius in full load operation in order to limit damage to the internal combustion engine and / or loss of power.
- the efficiency of the internal combustion engine 10 can be increased.
- the control unit 30 in addition to varying the coolant temperature as a function of the driver type, the control unit 30 also varies the volume flow of the coolant as a function of the driver type via the device 14.
- the control program in the control unit 30 assigns one economical driver type, especially in part-load operation, to a relatively low coolant volume flow. On the one hand, little energy is required to pump the coolant around, and on the other hand, the engine reaches the desired temperature more quickly in the warm-up phase. This results in lower fuel consumption.
- control program in control unit 30 assigns a higher coolant flow to a sporty driver type, in particular in part-load operation, than to an economical driver type. In this way, a sufficient coolant flow is always available for a sporty driver type in order to ensure waste heat removal and to prevent damage to the internal combustion engine 10. Since a sporty driver type is usually characterized by frequent and rapid load changes, this is increased in this way
- Coolant flow rate appropriate.
- the associated increased fuel consumption is accepted.
- the driver type is determined in a known manner, in particular, by inferring a sporty driver type in the event of frequent and rapid load changes and in the case of rare and slow load changes economical driver type.
