SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING PISTON TEMPERATURE IN A VEHICLE

A vehicle includes: an engine; a turbocharger; an intake flow path of the vehicle defined by air entering the vehicle, through the compressor, and into the engine air inlet; a coolant container assembly; a temperature sensor configured to determine a temperature in the intake air flow path; and a controller configured to selectively cause the coolant to flow from the coolant container into the intake flow path. A method for managing an engine intake air temperature or a piston temperature of a turbocharged vehicle includes: sensing a fluid temperature within an intake air flow path; determining an estimated piston temperature; and in response to the estimated piston temperature and/or fluid temperature being above a threshold temperature, causing an amount of coolant to flow from the coolant reservoir to the intake flow path. 一种车辆，该车辆包括：发动机；涡轮增压器；车辆的进气流动路径，进气流动路径由进入车辆、通过压缩机并流入发动机空气入口的空气限定；冷却剂容器组件；温度传感器，温度传感器构造成用于确定进气流动路径中的温度；以及控制器，控制器构造成选择性地使冷却液从冷却剂容器流入进气流动路径。一种用于对涡轮增压式车辆的发动机进气温度或活塞温度进行管理的方法，该方法包括：感测进气流动路径内的流
