Embodiment Construction

[0030] When a vehicle propulsion subsystem generates more heat than a dedicated cooling subsystem can remove, such as when the cooling subsystem is damaged, other vehicle subsystems may be activated to remove excess heat and cool the propulsion subsystem. One such subsystem is the climate control subsystem typically used to heat or cool the air in the vehicle cabin. As disclosed herein, the climate control subsystem may advantageously be activated to heat the vehicle cabin air such that the climate control subsystem extracts heat from the propulsion subsystem, cooling the propulsion subsystem while heating the passenger cabin. For example, in an autonomous vehicle, the control computer (sometimes referred to as a "virtual operator") can be programmed to take the temperature of the propulsion subsystem, such as the engine cooling, without user input and even without the user. The climate control subsystem is activated when one of the fuel temperature and the cylinder head tempe...

Abstract

The temperature of a vehicle propulsion subsystem is measured. At least two countermeasures are executed including actuating a vehicle climate control subsystem and opening at least one vehicle window when the temperature exceeds a first threshold.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of vehicle equipment, and more particularly, to a system and method for vehicle propulsion cooling. Background technique [0002] Vehicle propulsion subsystems typically generate significant amounts of heat, which can damage propulsion components. Vehicles often include dedicated cooling subsystems to remove excess heat from the propulsion subsystems. The problem of increasing the temperature of the propulsion subsystem and / or its components beyond acceptable limits arises when the propulsion subsystem generates more heat than a dedicated cooling subsystem can remove. Contents of the invention [0003] According to the present invention, there is provided a system comprising a computer including a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the computer to: [0004] Measure the temperature of the vehicle's propulsion subsystem; and [0005] At least two countermeasures are executed when the...
