Abstract:
A cooling module for use with an internal combustion engine having separate cooling circuits, the cooling module having a cuboid shaped structure having walls defining an internal open portion, at least one of the walls comprising a low-temperature heat exchanger circuit and one of the walls comprising a high-temperature heat exchanger circuit and a fan located within the open portion of the structure and enclosed by the walls. The fan is configured to act as a sucker fan to draw air from outside the structure through the at least one low-temperature heat exchanger circuit and to act as a blower fan by redirecting the air out of the structure through the at least one high-temperature heat exchanger circuit. The cooling module has increased fan efficiency, reduced noise, and optimal functional heat exchanger face area per given space.
