Abstract
A cooling system includes an electric pump, a cooling target temperature sensor, a coolant temperature sensor, and an electronic control unit. The electric pump pumps a coolant to a circulation channel connected to an inlet and an outlet of a cooling channel in which heat is exchanged with a cooling target. The cooling target temperature sensor detects a cooling target temperature. The coolant temperature sensor is arranged upstream of the inlet in the circulation channel, and detects a coolant temperature. The electronic control unit controls driving of the electric pump so that a discharge flow rate of the electric pump matches a target flow rate, and sets the target flow rate using an equation based on a reference value obtained by dividing a difference between the cooling target temperature and a target cooling temperature of the cooling target by a difference between the cooling target temperature and the coolant temperature.
