Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Some exemplary embodiments include a hybrid vehicle cooling system comprising a closed loop coolant flowpath including a valve operable to direct coolant flow to an internal combustion engine or to an internal combustion engine bypass, a thermostat operable to direct coolant flow from the internal combustion engine or the internal combustion engine bypass to a radiator or a radiator bypass, a plurality of hybrid powertrain components positioned in parallel to receive coolant flow from the radiator or the radiator bypass, a mechanically driven coolant pump operable to pump coolant through the closed loop coolant flowpath, and an electrically driven coolant pump operable to pump coolant through the closed loop coolant flowpath. Additional exemplary embodiments include methods of operation and/or control of hybrid vehicle cooling systems.
