Abstract
A radiator assembly in which numerous fins of a cooling element extending between two coolant channels of the cooling element are divided into at least two different cooling zone, a ventilator of the radiator assembly at least partially covers a first cooling zone of the at least two different cooling zones with respect to a direction extending from the ventilator module toward the cooling element, and a gap width of a gap between two adjacent fins in the first cooling zone is greater than that in a second cooling zone of the at least two different cooling zones.
Claims20
A radiator assembly for use in a vehicle, the radiator assembly comprising:
- a radiator including a cooling element provided with at least two coolant channels spaced apart from one another, and a number of fins extending between the at least two coolant channels, wherein the number of fins are arranged to form a number of gaps between each of the number of fins, and the number of gaps are configured to receive a cooling airflow;
- and
- a ventilator module including a fan configured to conduct the cooling airflow toward the cooling element,
- wherein the number of fins are divided into at least two different cooling zones including a first cooling zone and a second cooling zone,
- wherein the ventilator module at least partially covers the first cooling zone of the at least two different cooling zones with respect to a direction extending from the ventilator module toward the cooling element, and two fins disposed in the first cooling zone form a first gap of the number of gaps, wherein the first gap defining a first gap width and two fins disposed in the second cooling zone form a second gap defining a second gap width, wherein the first gap width is greater than the second gap width.
A radiator assembly for use in a vehicle, the radiator assembly comprising:
- a radiator including at least one cooling element provided with at least two coolant channels, wherein each of the at least two coolant channels are spaced apart from one another,
- wherein at least one coolant channel of the at least two coolant channels has a blossom-shaped cross-section.
A radiator assembly for use in a vehicle, the radiator assembly comprising:
- a radiator provided with,
- a number of cooling channels each extending in a horizontal direction and spaced apart from one another in a vertical direction,
- a first number of fins extending between each of the cooling channels of the number of cooling channels, wherein adjacent fins of the first number of fins are spaced apart from one another by a first distance to form a first gap,
- a second number of fins extending between each of the cooling channels of the number of cooling channels, wherein adjacent fins of the second number of fins are spaced apart from one another by a second distance to form a second gap, wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance, and the number of cooling channels, the number of fins, and the second number of fins define a number of cooling zones;
- and
- a ventilator module provided with a fan configured to direct a cooling air flow towards the radiator and through the first and second gaps, wherein the ventilator at least partially overlaps a first cooling zone of the number of cooling zones and the first number of fins are disposed in the first cooling zone and the second number of fins are disposed in a second cooling zone of the number of cooling zones.
