Abstract
In a method for cooling an internal combustion engine, in particular in/on a motor vehicle, it is possible for individual components of the internal combustion engine to be cooled individually, for example a cylinder head and/or a cylinder block, by what is known as a split cooling system. In order to improve the cooling of the components, it is proposed to control the cooling of at least one of the components adaptively.
