Abstract: An improved mounting device for mounting heat exchanger elements in a motor vehicle, the mounting device including a shroud for containing and supporting heat exchangers elements and attachment members for removably securing the shroud to a selected supporting structure of a motor vehicle. The shroud includes an end wall having an opening therein, a continuous sidewall extending from the end wall for encasing the heat exchanger elements and having an open end, and circulation members for moving a cooling medium through the shroud, the medium being admitted through the open end of the sidewall and being discharged through the opening in the end wall.

Abstract: Each of a pair of heat exchangers, such as a radiator and a condenser, includes a tubular structure defining a fluid flow path between an inlet manifold and an outlet manifold. The heat exchangers reside in juxtaposition for a unit with the respective fluid flow paths being congruently aligned along the axis of a stream of cooling medium passing therethrough. The heat exchangers are sealingly encased within a shroud for directing the stream of cooling medium through the tubular structures. The shroud, which is alternately usable with a conventional radiator, and the heat exchanger units are installed in a motor vehicle as a pre-fabricated modular cooling unit.
