Abstract
A control unit stores a correlation between a temperature difference ΔT between an inlet temperature and an outlet temperature of a heat exchanger for cooling of cooling water, and the amount of thermal deformation occurring in the heat exchanger. At the time when the cooling water is supplied to the heat-exchanging flow path having the heat exchanger, the control unit refers to the temperature difference ΔT and the correlation to obtain the volume of flow of the cooling water supplied to the heat-exchanging flow path so that the amount of thermal deformation is less than or equal to a threshold amount of thermal deformation set in advance.
