Systems and methods for a temperature control loop in a vehicular engine
compartment to concurrently cool at least two devices with a single fluid
supply source when each device requires the cooling supply fluid to have
a distinct temperature. The supply fluid, having a first temperature, can
be simultaneously routed through a primary heat exchanger and a mixing
valve. The primary heat exchanger cools the first temperature fluid to
produce a second temperature fluid. The mixing valve controllably
receives at least some of the first temperature fluid and some of the
second temperature fluid discharged from the primary heat exchanger and
mixes the respective fluids to produce a third temperature fluid. The
second temperature fluid not diverted to the mixing valve is used to cool
a first device located downstream of the primary heat exchanger. The
third temperature fluid is used to cool a second device located
downstream of the mixing valve.
