ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a control system for the cooling system of the internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle.
More specifically, the subject of the invention is a control system for a cooling system which comprises a liquid-based cooling circuit including a radiator with an associated electrically-powered fan assembly and at least one electric pump operable to cause the coolant liquid to flow through the radiator and the internal combustion engine.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to provide a control system for a cooling system of this type, operable to reduce to the minimum the electric power required to extract the desired amount of heat from the internal combustion engine.
