Managing engine thermal state to reduce friction losses during warm-up

The thermal behaviour of a 2.4 l direct injection diesel engine has been investigated to identify how the fuel consumption penalty associated with operation during warm–up can be minimised. A version of PROMETS (Programme for Modelling Engine Thermal Systems) was developed to support the investigati...
