Abstract
A method for cooling a coolant for waste heat cooling of an internal combustion engine is described for an agricultural working vehicle. The method includes providing a heat exchanger through which coolant flows and an air delivery means generates an air flow through the heat exchanger.
Claims5
A method for combined preheating and cooling of a coolant for waste heat cooling of an internal combustion engine in an agricultural working vehicle, the method comprising:
- providing a heat exchanger through which coolant flows and an air delivery means to generate an air flow through the heat exchanger;
- generating air flow via the air delivery means in a direction towards or away from the internal combustion engine as required;
- detecting a temperature of the internal combustion engine;
- producing air flow in the direction away from the internal combustion engine when a temperature value of the internal combustion engine is below a threshold value;
- and
- reversing the air delivery means when the temperature value exceeds the threshold value.
