METHOD OF THERMALLY PROTECTING AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE AND CORRESPONDING MOTOR COMPUTER

摘要

The invention relates primarily to a method of thermal protection of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle comprising a cooling circuit inside which circulates a cooling liquid whose temperature varies as a function of time, characterized in that it comprises the step of adapting in closed loop a maximum limiting torque (Cmax_lim) of the internal combustion engine as a function of a correction coefficient (Ccor) depending on a difference between an instantaneous speed (Vi) of evolution the temperature of the coolant and a limit speed (Vlim) of the change in the temperature of the coolant. The invention also relates to the corresponding engine computer.
