Abstract
A method for controlling an internal combustion engine cooling system includes pumping coolant in an engine cooling loop with a coolant pump, pumping the coolant in an air cooler loop that includes a liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger with the coolant pump, and receiving a condition signal indicative of at least one condition associated with the internal combustion engine. The method also includes, based on the condition signal, adjusting a position of a flow control valve to modify a flow of coolant to the liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger.
