ABSTRACT:
According to the present invention, coolant temperature Tw after an engine has stopped is detected by a coolant-temperature sensor. An amount of temperature rise .DELTA.Tw is calculated from a temperature difference between the present coolant temperature (Tw) and the previous coolant temperature (Tw-1). It is determined on the basis of the amount of temperature rise .DELTA.Tw whether coolant temperature after the engine has stopped has reached a substantially maximum temperature. Specifically, the amount of temperature rise .DELTA.Tw and a set amount of temperature rise .DELTA.T which has been set in advance are compared, and in a case where .DELTA.Tw>.DELTA.T, temperature rise is large and coolant temperature is still rising. Therefore, recovery of coolant is not performed. When .DELTA.Tw.ltoreq..DELTA.T, the amount of temperature rise is small and the present temperature is substantially the maximum temperature, and an electrical pump is operated to recover coolant. In this way, it is possible to recover a higher-temperature coolant into insulated container after the engine has stopped.
