Service Training Self-study programme 497 Innovative Thermal Management Design and function The thermal behaviour of combustion engines has In brief, the following advantages are achieved been an issue since the invention of the motor vehicle. thanks to the optimised thermal behaviour: On the one hand, the engine together with its fluids ï fuel consumption reduced by up to 0.3l per needs to be brought up to operating temperature 100km quickly and, on the other, it needs to be cooled once ï interior is heated more quickly it reaches high operating temperatures. In addition to ï engine warms up more quickly this, the vehicle occupants require heat. Vehicles ï gearbox warms up more quickly need clever thermal management systems to meet these thermal requirements. In the first development stage, the ITM was already used in the Touareg Hybrid and is described in self- The innovative thermal management system (ITM) is study programme no. 452. It is also used in the 4.2l an intelligent cold start and warm-up program for the V8 TDI engine. Further information on the ITM in this engine and gearbox. Thanks to the specific control engine can be found in self-study programme no. of the coolant flows, it allows the engine and the 467. gearbox to reach their operating temperatures quicker for optimum fuel consumption and also the The ITM is used to its maximum in the 3.6l V6 FSI interior to be heated more qui
