Motor vehicle with linearly regulated engine fan

Abstract

The invention relates to a motor vehicle comprising a water circuit for cooling its internal combustion engine, wherein the water circuit comprises an electrically operated engine fan and the engine fan is assigned a linear regulator which is thermally coupled to the water circuit.

1 . A motor vehicle comprising a water circuit for cooling an internal combustion engine, wherein the water circuit comprises an electrically operated engine fan and the engine fan is assigned a linear regulator that is thermally coupled to the water circuit. 
     
     
         2 . The motor vehicle according to  claim 1 , in which the linear regulator is in thermal contact with a water line of the water circuit. 
     
     
         3 . The motor vehicle according to  claim 1 , in which the water line has a recess into which the liner regulator or a cooling block assigned to the linear regulator is partially recessed. 
     
     
         4 . The motor vehicle according to  claim 1 , in which the linear regulator is in thermal contact with a water cooler which is assigned to the water circuit. 
     
     
         5 . The motor vehicle according to  claim 1 , in which the linear regulator is disposed in the air stream of the engine fan. 
     
     
         6 . A water cooler for a water circuit of a motor vehicle configured for detachable connection to a linear regulator for regulating an engine fan. 
     
     
         7 . A water cooler according to  claim 6 , having a linear regulator connected detachably thereto. 
     
     
         8 . A water cooler according to  claim 6 , wherein the water cooler is part of a condensor/radiation/fan module (CRFM) that further comprising an engine fan.
