SSP 222 – Electronically Mapped Cooling System

 

1.6‑Litre 4-Cylinder Engine with Electronically Controlled Cooling

The 1.6-litre 4-cylinder in-line engine (code APF) with a power output of 74 kW is the first engine to feature the newly developed electronically mapped cooling system. Further engines with this system are in development.

Key features of the new system include:

  • Load-dependent temperature setpoint input

  • Thermostatic control of coolant temperature

  • Fan cut-in control

Advantages of adapting coolant temperature to the current operating state:

  • Improved fuel economy in the part-throttle range

  • Reduction of raw CO and HC emissions
