Thermal management assemblies and systems related to controlling temperature of internal combustion engines are provided. In one embodiment, a multi-stage cooling assembly includes a body forming an air inlet and an air outlet, a plurality of exterior fins extending outward from an exterior of the body, and an air-to-coolant intercooler positioned in an interior of the body and adjacent the air inlet. The exterior fins differ in fin type, fin density, or both fin type and fin density. In another embodiment, a thermal management system includes an air intake structure defining an air intake passage therethrough coupled to a plurality of cylinders in an engine, a multi-stage cooling assembly positioned in the air intake passage, an air-to-coolant radiator fluidly coupled with the air-to-coolant intercooler of the multi-stage cooling assembly, a first fan operable to provide air flow to the multi-stage cooling assembly and the air-to-coolant radiator, and a second fan operable to provide air flow to the air-to-coolant radiator. |
