Evaluation of a novel strategy, based in Coolant Flow Rate Control, for avoiding Knock in a SI engine

An experimental study is carried out for investigating the possibility to limit knock occurrence on a SI engine by proper engine thermal management. The control of the wall temperature is realized by means of an electrically driven water pump. The coolant flow rate can be varied regardless of the en...
