Abstract

The disclosure provides a method to reduce the engine coolant temperature based on the climate fan speed. A vehicle includes an engine cooling system. The engine cooling system includes an engine. A radiator is fluidly coupled to the engine. A sensor is configured to provide a temperature reading of a coolant at the engine. The vehicle further includes a heat pump system. The heat pump system includes a condenser disposed proximate the radiator and fluidly coupled to the compressor. An evaporator is fluidly coupled to the condenser. A climate fan is fluidly coupled to an exterior surface of the evaporator. A climate control module is configured to control a speed of the climate fan. The climate control module establishes a maximum speed of the climate fan in response to a temperature reading from the sensor.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to an engine overheat protection strategy for a vehicle. Background technique [0002] Vehicles typically include one or more driveline components that generate significant amounts of heat during operation of the vehicle. Vehicles often include cooling systems for managing the heat generated by drivetrain components. The cooling system typically includes a low temperature radiator at the front end of the vehicle that is cooled by ambient air when the vehicle is traveling in the forward direction. [0003] Vehicles typically include a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system for providing conditioned air to a passenger compartment of the vehicle. HVAC systems typically include a condenser located at the front end of the vehicle upstream of the low temperature radiator. Ambient air is heated as it travels through the condenser. The heated ambient air then travels through the low-temperature radi...
