A cooling system for an engine with a supercharger is designed to reliably prevent seizing of the supercharger during an engine-soaking period. To this end, a cooling system for an engine with a supercharger includes a main cooling system for cooling the engine and a sub-cooling system for cooling the supercharger. The sub-cooling system is positioned alongside the main cooling system. The sub-cooling system includes cooling piping for cooling the supercharger and a tank for temporarily reserving cooling water. The tank is disposed substantially midway along the cooling piping at a location above a position where the supercharger is mounted.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. In a cooling system for an engine with a supercharger, including a main cooling system for cooling the engine and a sub-cooling system for use on the supercharger, the sub-cooling system being positioned alongside the main cooling system, the improvement comprising: said sub-cooling system including cooling piping connected to the supercharger for cooling the supercharger, and a tank for temporarily reserving cooling water, the tank being disposed substantially midway along the cooling piping at a location above a position where the supercharger is mounted, said tank further including a tank body portion, a first inlet side pipe connected to the tank body portion and the engine, and a second outlet side pipe connected to the tank body portion and the supercharger, the first and second pipes forming respective parts of the cooling piping such that said cooling water flows downstream from the engine through the tank body portion to the supercharger, the second outlet side pipe that is located toward the supercharger being mounted to a bottom portion of the tank body portion such that gas generated by said supercharger during engine shutdown is received in said tank body portion and displaces said cooling water out of said tank body portion to said supercharger.
