Abstract
A cooling control system and method for an on-board charger of a plug-in vehicle drive an electric water pump using a cooling control map when the temperature of the on-board charger equipped in a plug-in vehicle is equal to or above an overheat prevention temperature. The cooling control system and the method determine an entry of an optimal cooling control mode to cool the on-board charger to a temperature at which charging operational efficiency is maximized when the temperature of the on-board charger is below the overheat prevention temperature. Thereby, the on-board charger is cooled and the standard charging efficiency and the charge depletion fuel economy of the plug-in vehicle is maximized.
