Abstract
A fan shroud for a vehicle heat-exchange module, includes a wall configured to at least partially block the air flow through the fan shroud between a front and a back thereof, with a first opening for enabling air flow through the fan shroud between a front and a back thereof, and fasteners adapted to mount the fan shroud in an inclined position with respect to the ground. The fan shroud further includes a first drainage opening for a fluid, arranged at a bottom of the fan shroud, and a first gutter arranged at the bottom and connected fluidically with the first drainage opening to evacuate the fluid remotely with respect to the first drainage opening.

A fan shroud for a vehicle heat-exchange module, comprising:
- a wall configured to at least partially block an air flow through the fan shroud between a front and a back thereof, with a first opening for enabling air flow through the fan shroud between a front and a back thereof,
- fasteners adapted to mount the fan shroud in an inclined position with respect to the ground,
- a first drainage opening for a fluid, arranged at a bottom of the fan shroud,
- a first gutter arranged and extending along the bottom portion of the fan shroud and connected fluidically with the first drainage opening to evacuate the fluid remotely with respect to the first drainage opening.
A heat-exchange module including
- at least one heat exchanger,
- a fan shroud for a vehicle heat-exchange module, comprising:
- a wall configured to at least partially block an air flow through the fan shroud between a front and a back thereof, with a first opening for enabling air flow through the fan shroud between a front and a back thereof,
- fasteners adapted to mount the fan shroud in an inclined position with respect to the ground,
- a first drainage opening for a fluid, arranged at a bottom of the fan shroud,
- a first gutter arranged and extending along the bottom portion of the fan shroud and connected fluidically with the first drainage opening to evacuate the fluid remotely with respect to the first drainage opening,
- a fan attached to the fan shroud,
- a conduit encapsulating the at least one heat exchanger and including an air inlet, so that the air entering the air inlet is guided through the at least one heat exchanger and the at least one opening in the fan shroud,
- wherein the at least one heat exchanger, the fan shroud and the fan are arranged in the inclined position with respect to the ground.
