Abstract
A cooling method and unit of a vehicle for cooling a radiant mass; wherein, the cooling unit comprises an inlet port, an outlet port, a conduit which fluidically connects the inlet port with the outlet port, a pneumo-system installed along said conduit and a radiant system installed along said conduit; the method comprising the steps of: conveying a flow of air through said inlet port within the conduit; cooling the carrier fluid which traverses the radiant system by means of said flow of air and generating a thrust force by means of the flow of air exiting from the outlet port.
Claims12
A cooling method of a radiant mass of a cooling unit of a vehicle;
- wherein the cooling unit comprises an inlet port, an outlet port, a conduit that fluidically connects the inlet port with the outlet port, a pneumo-system installed along said conduit and a radiant unit installed along said conduit traversed, in use, by a carrier fluid;
- the cooling method comprising:
- conveying a flow of air through said inlet port within an inlet duct of said conduit;
- cooling the carrier fluid, which traverses the radiant unit, with said flow of air;
- conveying the flow of air in an outlet duct of said conduit with said pneumo-system;
- and
- generating a thrust force by the flow of air exiting from the outlet port.
A cooling unit for a vehicle, the cooling unit comprising:
- an inlet port;
- an outlet port;
- a conduit that fluidically connects the inlet port with the outlet port;
- and
- a pneumo-system installed along said conduit and a radiant unit traversed, in use, by a carrier fluid.
