Abstract
This invention relates to a method of cooling an engine for an automobile. The method operates using a predictive, feed-forward element combined with a fuzzy logic feedback controller to achieve accurate control over engine temperature. The fuzzy logic feedback is only utilized in the event that the predictive control results in a cylinder head temperature outside a predetermined range.
