Abstract
A cooling module, composed of at least one first and one second heat exchanger, are connected in a common frame or directly to one another, it being possible for cooling air to flow through both heat exchangers. The second heat exchanger has a greater structural depth than the first heat exchanger in the flow direction of the cooling air. The first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger have a catalytic coating and the second heat exchanger is composed of at least one first and one second partial heat exchanger which are arranged one behind the other in the flow direction of the cooling air and which are operatively connected to one another. By means of the configuration according to the invention, the largest possible catalytically active coating surface area is attained.
Claims20
A cooling module, comprising:
- a first heat exchanger having a catalytic coating;
- a second heat exchanger having a catalytic coating, cooling air being flowable through both the first and the second heat exchanger, wherein
- the first and the second heat exchanger are connected in a common frame or directly with one another, and
- the second heat exchanger has a greater structural depth in the flow direction of the cooling air from an upstream side to a downstream side of the second heat exchanger than the first heat exchanger, the second heat exchanger comprising at least one first and one second partial heat exchanger which are arranged one behind the other in the flow direction of the cooling air and which are operatively connected with one another.
A motor vehicle, comprising:
- a cooling module arranged in the motor vehicle, the cooling module comprising:
- a first heat exchanger having a catalytic coating;
- a second heat exchanger having a catalytic coating, cooling air being flowable through both the first and the second heat exchanger, wherein
- the first and the second heat exchanger are connected in a common frame or directly with one another, and
- the second heat exchanger has a greater structural depth in the flow direction of the cooling air from an upstream side to a downstream side than the first heat exchanger, the second heat exchanger comprising at least one first and one second partial heat exchanger which are arranged one behind the other in the flow direction of the cooling air and which are operatively connected with one another.
