<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cooling structure for an automobile capable of remarkably improving cooling efficiency without limiting the flexibility of design in a front bumper. <P>SOLUTION: In the cooling structure for an automobile or a fuel cell vehicle loaded with a fuel cell, which executes heat exchange with a cooling air and a cooling liquid flowing through a cooling path, a cooling path comprises a first path to cool the fuel cell and a second path to cool a drive motor, and a path for the cooling air taken in from the outside of the automobile comprises a cooling air introducing port 4a, an introducing air duct 10 located near the cooling air introducing port 4a, a cooling air discharge port 3a and an auxiliary heat exchanger 8 within the second path arranged between the cooling air introducing port 4a and the cooling air discharge port 3a and loaded on the lower part of hood ridges. The cooling air introducing port 4a is arranged at a position lower end part of the front bumper 4, which is hard to be viewed from the front of the automobile, allowing a blower 11 for guiding the cooling air introduced from the cooling air introducing port 4a to the auxiliary heat exchanger 8 via the introducing air duct 10 to be located near the auxiliary heat exchanger 8. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
