Abstract
A heat storage system including a heat storage device that stores heat and transfers heat to engine coolant passing through the heat storage device. A coolant flow control system directs coolant through the heat storage system. A control module configures the coolant flow control system to direct coolant to bypass the heat storage device such that the heat storage device does not heat the coolant when temperature of the engine is above the predetermined temperature.
