Abstract

Die Aufgabe, eine Anordnung sowie ein Verfahren zur Erwärmung zumindest eines Betriebsmittels einer Verbrennungskraftmaschine (1) zu schaffen bzw. anzugeben, welche im Hinblick auf eine etwaige Anhebung des Motor-Temperaturniveaus weiter verbessert sind derart, dass ein deutlich schnelleres Erreichen der Motor-Betriebstemperatur gerade im Motor-Kaltstart gestattet ist, wodurch der Kraftstoffverbrauch, der CO2-Ausstoß und der Verschleiß verringerbar sowie der Fahrkomfort in Bezug auf die Fahrzeug-Heizung (5) verbesserbar sind, wird im Wesentlichen dadurch gelöst, dass zum einen ausgehend von einer Abgasanlage (2) heiße Verbrennungsgase (11) über zumindest eine Bypassleitung (10) durch einen im Ölsumpf (15) der Ölwanne (13) des Motorblocks (12) der Verbrennungskraftmaschine (1) angeordneten und das in der Ölwanne (13) befindliche Motorenöl (16) erwärmenden ersten Wärmetauscher (14) hindurchgeführt sind, und zum anderen in der Ölwanne (13) zumindest ein zweiter Wärmetauscher (20) angeordnet ist, der seinerseits in einen Kühlmittelkreislauf (3) der Verbrennungskraftmaschine (1) eingebunden ist.

Figure imgaf001
The object, an arrangement and a method for heating at least one operating means of an internal combustion engine (1) to create or indicate which are further improved in terms of a possible increase in the engine temperature levels such that a much faster reaching the engine operating temperature straight is permitted in the engine cold start, whereby the fuel consumption, the CO 2 emission and wear can be reduced and the driving comfort with respect to the vehicle heater (5) can be improved, is essentially solved by the fact that on the one hand starting from an exhaust system ( 2) hot combustion gases (11) via at least one bypass line (10) arranged in the oil sump (15) of the oil pan (13) of the engine block (12) of the internal combustion engine (1) and located in the oil pan (13) engine oil (16) heated first heat exchanger (14) are passed, and on the other hand in the oil pan (13) at least a second heat Ausc is arranged (20), which in turn is incorporated in a coolant circuit (3) of the internal combustion engine (1).
