Abstract: There is disclosed a cooling module for an automotive vehicle, comprising a condenser having a fluid manifold. The condenser includes at least one condenser end cap facing longitudinally outwards of the edge of the condenser for closing the aperture. The module further includes a radiator including at least one radiator end tank which includes a condenser mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is molded integrally to the radiator end tank and the condenser is mounted directly thereto.

Abstract: A modular radiator arrangement having first and second rows of spaced apart radiator core modules and air directing ducts provide a compact radiator arrangement. The air directing ducts are disposed in spaces between adjacent radiator core modules of the first row and about the radiator core modules of the second row located in alignment with the spaces of the first row of radiator core modules provides cooling air flow of substantially the same temperature to each of the first and second rows of radiator core modules.

Abstract: A rotatable louver assembly (20) for a fan discharge duct (14). The louver assembly has at least two louver slats (21, 22) that are fixed in spatial relationship with respect to each other. A first or upper louver slat (21) has a shape that conforms generally to the shape of a first or upper wall (41) of the discharge duct. The second or lower louver slat (22) has a shape that conforms generally to the shape of a second or lower wall (42) of the discharge duct. The louver assembly has at least two positions. In one position the first louver slat is generally aligned with and spaced from the upper wall to define a generally constant cross-section low loss passageway therebetween for directing air horizontally. In another position the second louver slat is generally aligned with the lower wall to define a generally constant cross-section low loss passageway therebetween for directing the air generally vertically.

Abstract: Heat transfer devices, particularly the radiators for internal-combustion engines of motor vehicles are provided with a fan shroud and a fan arrangement. In this case, the shroud must be adapted to the dimensions of the radiator in such a manner that it can be fastened on the coolant tanks. The fastening of the fan shroud is carried out at least partially on the bent outer edges of the fins of the finned tube block, such that differently dimensioned fan shrouds can be connected to different finned block locations.

Abstract: A first adjustment arrangement facilitates adjustment of a plenum in a first direction of movement relative to a fan axis and a second adjustment arrangement facilitates adjustment of a shroud in a second direction of movement transverse the first direction of movement. A plurality of fasteners secures the adjusted plenum to the radiator and a plurality of fasteners secures the adjusted shroud to the plenum. A pilot arrangement supports and guides the shroud on the plenum during adjustment and maintains the shroud in position during fastening of the shroud to the plenum.
