Abstract
A supercharged liquid-cooled internal combustion engine is provided. In one example, a bearing of a turbocharger is cooled in response to a thermal load of the turbocharger while a flow of coolant to a ventilation vessel is controlled. In this way, a coolant flow rate to the bearing and a ventilation vessel may be provided based on cooling demand.
