Abstract. The servomechanism for air flow control has as effect on cooling<br />

starting: fuel consumption and wear reduction. The shorting of the warming up<br />

engine period has been ascertained. As consequence the wear and the pollution<br />

reduce in time of cold starting. A relevant data in the prosess is the surroun<strong>din</strong>g<br />

temperature. The variation of cooling air flow produces modifications in the<br />

dynamic behaviour of care-engine cooling system, especially when the engine<br />

and coolant liquid are cold by the time of approach to steady states.<br />

Key words: car engine cooling system, cooling air flow, car engine system,<br />

automatic control and servomechanisms.<br />

1. Introduction<br />

When fuel is burnt in an internal combustion engine roughly 30% energy<br />

in the fuel is available as us full work. The rest is rejected as heat in a<br />

accordance with the second law of thermodynamics. Roughly 30% of the<br />

energy is rejected in the exhaust flow, roughly 30% of fuel energy is rejected<br />

into the engine coolant and the rest is radiated off the engine structure into the<br />

atmosphere.<br />

The heat lost to circulating cooling is:<br />
