COOLING CONTROL DEVICE FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING COOLING OF SAME

摘要

The present invention pertains to a cooling control device for carrying out a control for cooling an internal combustion engine by causing an electric pump to circulate a cooling liquid and supplying cooling air to a radiator using an electric fan. This cooling control device is provided with an electric pump for circulating a cooling medium through a cooling medium passage formed in the internal combustion engine, and a radiator and a radiator fan for cooling the cooling medium. When the internal combustion engine is stopped after completing a warming operation, the radiator fan and the electric pump are driven to cool the internal combustion, and when the temperature of the cooling medium falls below the temperature that was reached when the engine was stopped, the radiator fan is stopped while the electric pump is operating.
