This system is intended for touring vehicles driven at a high speed corresponding to an engine shaft speed above 3,000 r.p.m. and preferably above 5,000 r.p.m. The engine is cooled by forced water circulation in a circuit comprising in series a pump, the engine and a radiator having a high heat dissipation capacity. The system comprises a hydraulic decelerator whose rotor runs permanently at a speed of at least the same order as engine shaft speed and whose diameter is less than 20 centimeters. The decelerator is connected in parallel to a part of the engine cooling circuit by means of a three-way two-position valve which when in one position sends all the water it receives to said part of the circuit isolating the decelerator, while when in its other position the valve sends all the water it receives to the decelerator inlet, isolating said circuit part. |
