This invention relates to a method of cooling an engine for an automobile. The method operates using a predictive, feed-forward element combined with a fuzzy logic feedback controller to achieve accurate control over engine temperature. The fuzzy logic feedback is only utilized in the event that the predictive control results in a cylinder head temperature outside a predetermined range.

Method of engine cooling

This invention relates to a method of cooling an internal combustion engine, to an internal combustion engine assembly. The invention provides an internal combustion engine which has a primary and a secondary flow of coolant together with a method of cooling such and engine. The secondary flow of coolant is injected into the primary flow of coolant in dependence upon a variable provided by a sensor, which provides an indication of the temperature of the engine body in the region where the secondary flow of coolant mixes with the primary flow of coolant.
