Abstract
The heat generated by an internal combustion engine must be dissipated to maintain acceptable component temperatures throughout the entire powertrain system under all operating conditions. However, under cold start conditions it is beneficial to retain this available heat to achieve faster warm-up in order to reduce fuel consumption. In modern engines there are several components in the coolant circuit that are used to accelerate the warm-up of sub-system fluids such as the engine oil, transmission oil and axle oil. The magnitude of the fuel consumption reduction will depend on how these rapid warm-up devices are arranged, combined and controlled. This paper describes a methodology that was developed to optimize the distribution of coolant heat in the powertrain system during warm-up. A comparative study can be performed to optimize the arrangement of each heat exchanger in any given powertrain system to minimize cost and time early in development. Different thermal strategies or technologies that affect warm-up can also be evaluated using this methodology to assess their effectiveness.
