Cooling system for an internal combustion engine

A cooling system for an internal combustion engine mounted on a vehicle, comprising:

• an air conditioner mounted on the vehicle and having a heat exchanger,
• a first passage connected to the heat exchanger to supply cooling water of the internal combustion engine to the heat exchanger,
• a second passage connected to a cooling apparatus to supply the cooling water to the cooling apparatus, the cooling apparatus being for oil filling a speed change mechanism connected to the internal combustion engine or for oil filling the internal combustion engine,
• a flow control valve configured to control the flow rate of cooling water to the first passage and the second passage, and
• a controller configured to control the internal combustion engine and the flow control valve,
• wherein the controller is configured to selectively perform a normal control, a first control, and a second control,
• the normal control being performed when the internal combustion engine is in a combustion state and a noncombustion state;
• the first control being performed when the internal combustion engine is in the noncombustion state;
• the second control, which is one part of the normal control, being performed when the internal combustion engine is in the noncombustion state,
• the controller is configured to perform the normal control which controls the flow control valve based on a temperature of the cooling water and a temperature of the oil when the internal combustion engine is in the combustion state and the noncombustion state, and
• wherein the controller is configured to perform one of:
• the first control which controls the flow control valve to a position in which the first passage and the second passage are open when the temperature of the cooling water is less than a prescribed water temperature, the temperature of the oil is at least a prescribed oil temperature, the temperature of the oil is higher than the temperature of the cooling water, and the internal combustion engine is in the noncombustion state, and
• the second control which controls the flow control valve to a position in which the first passage is open and the second passage is closed when the temperature of the cooling water is below the prescribed water temperature, the temperature of the oil is at least the prescribed oil temperature, the temperature of the oil is lower than the temperature of the cooling water, and the internal combustion engine is in the noncombustion state.
