Abstract
Provided is a cooling module for a vehicle, and more particularly, a cooling module placed on a side of the vehicle with three-row mounting parts, in which components are mounted, to maximize cooling efficiency and space utilization inside the vehicle.
Claims15
A cooling module comprising:
- a first-row mounting part in which a component is mounted;
- a second-row mounting part in which another component is mounted, the second-row mounting part being disposed behind the first-row mounting part;
- and
- a third-row mounting part in which another component is mounted, the third-row mounting part being disposed behind the second-row mounting part,
- wherein the cooling module is placed on a side of a vehicle with respect to a front-rear direction of the vehicle, with the first-row mounting part being located on an outermost side;
- wherein at least one of a sub-radiator and a condenser is mounted in the first-row mounting part,
- a main radiator is mounted in the second-row mounting part,
- a cooling fan is mounted in the third-row mounting part, and
- the main radiator is a cross-flow type radiator including a plurality of tubes arranged to be long in a horizontal direction, and a forward header tank and a rear header tank provided on both sides of the plurality of tubes, respectively, such that coolant flows in the horizontal direction;
- wherein the cooling fan is formed by a plurality of unit cooling fans gathered together, and the plurality of unit cooling fans are arranged alongside in the horizontal direction;
- and
- wherein the sub-radiator is mounted in the first-row mounting part,
- a core part of the sub-radiator has a smaller area than a core part of the main radiator,
- the sub-radiator is disposed in a rear portion of the first-row mounting part with respect to the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and
- the sub-radiator is disposed not to overlap an area in which a foremost one of the plurality of unit cooling fans with respect to the front-rear direction of the vehicle is located when the cooling module is viewed from a front side thereof.
