System and method for providing cooling protection for an engine
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a temperature of an engine system comprising:
- measuring a coolant temperature of the engine system;
measuring noise factors of the engine system; and
controlling a plurality of components of the engine system to provide for an optimal operation of the engine based upon the measured temperature and measured noise factors.

Abstract
A method and system for controlling the temperature of an engine system is disclosed. The method and system comprise measuring a coolant temperature of the engine system; measuring noise factors of the engine system; and controlling components of the engine system to provide for an optimal operation of the engine based upon the measured temperature and measured noise factors. Accordingly, a system and method in accordance with the present invention combines measuring noise factors such as coolant pressure or coolant concentration and the temperature and then adjusting the threshold values for factors such as fan on temperature and engine protection derate. In so doing the coolant temperature can be controlled within an acceptable range of values.
