Abstract
Examples of techniques combining flow requests to control coolant fluid in a cooling system for an internal combustion engine are provided. In one example implementation, a method includes receiving, by a processing device, a block flow request from an engine block. The method further includes receiving, by the processing device, a head flow request from an engine head. The method further includes calculating, by the processing device, an engine flow based at least in part on the block flow request and the head flow request. The method further includes calculating, by the processing device, a flow split request based at least in part on the block flow request and the engine flow. The method further includes operating, by the processing device, a block rotary valve based at least in part on the block flow.
