MOTOR-ASSISTED TURBO-COOLING SYSTEM FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES

摘要

Disclosed is an internal combustion engine cooling system incorporating a motor assisted turbofan. Turbine drive fans increase the rotational speed by energizing the motor attached to the turbine fan shaft from an external power source to provide the required cooling air flow. The cooling air system of the present invention also includes a ducted fan for supplying cooling air to one or more heat exchangers, the engine speed sensor providing a motor operation signal, the flow sensor located downstream of the heat exchanger providing a motor operation signal, And a cooling circuit is controlled via input from a temperature sensor disposed throughout.
