This application relates to an engine cooling
system and control method, belonging to the field of engine cooling technology. The
system includes an engine with an
exhaust manifold, a
turbine, an
intercooler, a main compressor, an intake manifold, a
fan clutch, and a main cooling fan connected to the
fan clutch. The
exhaust manifold is connected to the
turbine, the main compressor is coaxially connected to the
turbine, and the main compressor is connected to the
intercooler. The
intercooler cools the
compressed air from the main compressor before it is introduced into the intake manifold. The
system also includes an
electronic control unit (ECU), a secondary compressor coaxially connected to the turbine, and an
air cooling device connected to the secondary compressor via cooling pipes. The
air cooling device is installed on high-temperature components of the engine. A flow control valve is installed on the cooling pipes, and a temperature sensor is installed on the engine. The ECU is electrically connected to the
fan clutch, the temperature sensor, and the flow control valve. This application can reduce the load on the main cooling fan and improve engine fuel economy.
