Cooling device and motor vehicle with a cooling device
A cooling device for a motor vehicle may include: a liquid-cooled turbocharger arranged on an internal combustion engine; a coolant feed line; a coolant discharge line; and a heat exchanger arranged at least partially within an oil container. The coolant discharge line is connected by an oil preheating line to the heat exchanger.
1. A cooling device for a motor vehicle, the cooling device comprising:
a liquid-cooled turbocharger arranged on an internal combustion engine;
a coolant feed line;
a coolant discharge line; and
a heat exchanger arranged at least partially within an oil container;
wherein the coolant discharge line is connected by an oil preheating line to the heat exchanger;
wherein a first valve outlet of a feed valve is connected directly to the coolant feed line; and
a second valve outlet of the feed valve is connected directly to a turbocharger bypass line connected to the heat exchanger.
2. The cooling device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the oil container comprises an engine oil container arranged on the internal combustion engine.
3. The cooling device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the oil container comprises a transmission oil container arranged on a vehicle transmission of the motor vehicle.
4. The cooling device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the oil preheating line is connected directly to the coolant discharge line by a first valve outlet of a controllable discharge valve; and
the coolant discharge line is connected directly to an engine cooling line of the internal combustion engine by a second valve outlet of the controllable discharge valve.
5. The cooling device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the heat exchanger is connected to the oil preheating line by a control valve controlling a flow rate of a coolant flowing through the oil preheating line.
6. A motor vehicle comprising:
an internal combustion engine;
a liquid-cooled turbocharger arranged on an internal combustion engine;
a coolant feed line;
a coolant discharge line; and
a heat exchanger arranged at least partially within an oil container;
wherein the coolant discharge line is connected by an oil preheating line to the heat exchanger;
wherein a first valve outlet of a feed valve is connected directly to the coolant feed line; and
a second valve outlet of the feed valve is connected directly to a turbocharger bypass line connected to the heat exchanger.
7. A method for operating a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
feeding a liquid coolant to a turbocharger of the motor vehicle via a coolant feed line;
heating the liquid coolant in the turbocharger;
discharging the heated coolant from the turbocharger via a coolant discharge line;
passing the coolant at least in part to a heat exchanger via the coolant discharge line;
exchanging thermal energy between the coolant and an oil in an oil container;
determining a current oil temperature value of the oil in the oil container;
controlling a feed valve arranged ahead of the coolant feed line based at least in part on the oil temperature value; and
passing the coolant via the feed valve at least in part through a turbocharger bypass line connected directly to the heat exchanger if the oil temperature value is higher than an oil temperature limit value.
8. The method as claimed in claim 7 , further comprising:
determining a current oil temperature value of the oil in the oil container; and
controlling a discharge valve arranged between the coolant discharge line and an oil preheating line based at least in part on the oil temperature value to regulate an oil quantity flowing through the discharge valve.
