发明名称 Modular cooling unit for automotive vehicle
摘要 A modular cooling unit particularly useful for an automotive vehicle is configured with a heat exchanger having a tunnel port extending at least part way through the core of the heat exchanger. The case of a cooling fan motor is mounted within the tunnel port, so as to minimize the overall length of the cooling unit.

主权项 1. A cooling module for an internal combustion engine installed in an automotive vehicle, comprising: an air-cooled radiator core comprising a plurality of fluid-conducting tubes and a plurality of fins extending between adjacent ones of said tubes; a shrouded fan moving air through the radiator core, with said fan comprising an electric motor and a fan blade attached to said motor; and a mount attached to a plurality of said tubes, with said mount comprising a motor housing tunnel port extending through the radiator core, and with the mount further comprising a mount bracket defining a fluid bypass permitting fluid flow through the tubes to which mount is attached and around the tunnel port within which the motor is mounted, wherein said mount bracket comprises a generally cylindrical motor housing and an outer generally cylindrical header connected with a plurality of said fluid-conducting tubes laterally disposed on two sides of said motor, with said generally cylindrical motor housing and said generally cylindrical header defining an annular coolant flow path extending from one side of said motor to another side of said motor, whereby coolant will be allowed to circulate through the tubes to which the mount is attached.
