Abstract
In radiators, especially in automotive vehicles, covers for throttling the cooling air disposed in front of such radiators are exposed to damage, dirt, we well as the danger of icing, so that their function can be impaired. In order to overcome these disadvantages, it is disclosed to subdivide the radiator into two groups disposed in series in the flow direction of the cooling air, with an interspace therebetween wherein the cover is guided.
Claims3
Radiator arrangement comprising:
- a first group of cooling fluid tubes and cooling fins disposed for the flow of cooling air transversely thereto,
- a second group of cooling fluid tubes and cooling fins disposed for the flow of cooling air transversely thereto,
- said first and second groups being disposed in series one behind the other in the direction of flow of cooling air, and
- movable cover means interposed in an interspace between said first and second groups, such that the functioning capacity of the cover under adverse circumstances is improved.
