Abstract
Provided is a cooling module, and more particularly, a cooling module configured to include a condenser, an intercooler, and at least one radiator, and discharge a heat exchange medium by changing a shape of peripheral components without configuring separate components such as a separate hose when the heat exchange medium inside a radiator disposed on an upper part of the intercooler is discharged.
Claims11
A cooling module, comprising:
- a condenser disposed at a front part of a vehicle and condensing a refrigerant flowing into an air conditioner system for the vehicle;
- a first radiator disposed at a rear part of the condenser, having a first heat exchange medium flowing therein, and including a 1-1-th header tank provided at one side in a longitudinal direction thereof;
- a second radiator disposed between the condenser and the first radiator, having a second heat exchange medium flowing therein, and including a 2-1-th header tank provided at one side in a longitudinal direction thereof;
- and
- an intercooler including a third 3-1-th header tank disposed under the second radiator and formed at one side in a longitudinal direction thereof at a position corresponding to the 2-1-th header tank,
- wherein the 2-1-th header tank includes a first drain portion formed at one side of a lower part of the 2-1-th header tank so that the second heat exchange medium is discharged to the lower part of the 2-1-th header tank,
- the third 3-1-th header tank is provided with a channel on an outer side thereof so that the second heat exchange medium discharged from the 2-1-th header tank first drain portion is discharged to the lower part downwardly, and
- the channel includes:
- a second drain portion formed on the 3-1-th header tank, with an upstream end formed under the first drain portion and a downstream end formed toward a rear part of the 3-1-th header tank, to discharge the second heat exchange medium discharged from the 2-1-th header tank to the lower part downwardly;
- and a third drain portion protruding to a side part from one side of the a lower part of the 1-1-th header tank and formed under the downstream end of the second drain portion to discharge the second heat exchange medium introduced through the second drain portion to the lower part downwardly.

- a first drain portion provided at one side of a lower part of the 2-1-th header tank so that the heat exchange medium is discharged to the lower part of the 2-1-th header tank;
- and
- a second drain portion protruding outwardly from the 3-1-th header tank so that the heat exchange medium discharged from the first drain portion is discharged downwardly,
- wherein the second drain portion includes:
- an upper guide disposed at an upper part of the 3-1-th header tank and including upper ribs that protrude upwardly in directions other than a rear part so that the heat exchange medium introduced from above flows into the rear part;
- a side guide including side ribs protruding from both sides of a side of a rear part of the 3-1-th header tank so that the heat exchange medium flowing out from the rear part of the upper guide flows down vertically along the side of the rear part of the 3-1-th heater tank;
- and
- a lower guide protruding and extending backwardly from a lower part of the side guide by a predetermined distance and having lower ribs provided at both sides thereof while protruding upwardly to discharge the heat exchange medium flowing down from the side guide backwardly from the intercooler while being spaced apart therefrom by a predetermined distance, and
- the lower guide has an end portion bent downwardly to be formed along a vertical direction.
