Abstract: A control system for a vehicle comprises a controller (114), with the controller (114) further including a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor such that the controller is programmed to detect a temperature difference (ΔTEvap), select a flow ratio, and select a valve opening setting (242, 244, 250, 252, 258, 260). The difference in temperature (ΔTEvap) is between a working fluid (15) downstream of a first evaporator (16) and a working fluid (15) downstream of a second evaporator (20). The flow ratio is a desired flow ratio based on the difference in temperature (ΔTEvap). The valve opening setting (242, 244, 250, 252, 258, 260) for each of a first valve (84) regulating flow of the working fluid into the first evaporator (16) and a second valve (86) regulating flow of the working fluid into the second evaporator (20) based on the flow ratio.

Abstract: A variable spring rate absorber is adjusted to provide the vibration attenuation characteristics needed to match current operating conditions. Control of a variable spring rate absorber determines the desired absorber spring rate for existing conditions based on a number of inputs and predetermined characterization tables. Once the spring rate is calculated, a predetermined map may be used to determine the absorber setting needed to achieve the desired spring rate. A sensor may be used to measure the actual state of the absorber to determine the extent to which the setting must be adjusted to achieve the desired spring rate.

Abstract: A number of variations may include a thermal management system comprising: an engine, an exhaust heat recovery system, and a coolant system comprising a coolant circuit and a coolant pump wherein the coolant pump operates independently of the engine and is operated by an electronic control unit, and wherein the electronic control unit is constructed and arranged to operate the coolant pump after engine start up to limit coolant temperature below a predetermined value in and/or near the exhaust heat recovery system.

Abstract: Controlling a waste heat recovery system includes determining a difference in temperature (sensed ΔT) between a working fluid (15) downstream of a first evaporator (16) and a working fluid (15) downstream of a second evaporator (20) wherein the first evaporator (16) and the second evaporator (20) are in parallel. Each receives engine exhaust gas and working fluid. At least a first valve (84) is selectively actuated to regulate flow of the working fluid into the first evaporator (16) and the second evaporator (20) responsive to the difference in temperature (sensed ΔT). The first valve (84) regulates a flow of the working fluid into the first evaporator (16) and a second valve (86) regulates a flow of the working fluid into the second evaporator (20). A first feedforward signal (157) is generated for control of the first valve (84) based at least in part on the difference in temperature (sensed ΔT).

Abstract: A number of variations may include a thermal management system having an engine and a coolant system comprising a coolant circuit and a coolant pump, wherein the coolant pump is operated by an electronic control unit that operates independently of the engine, and wherein the electronic control unit is constructed and arranged to operate the coolant pump at a higher speed than the engine speed multiplied by pulley ratio during engine warm up.
