Abstract: A cooling system for a vehicle includes a heat exchanger unit which cools a heat medium by heat exchange with air, a fan which sends air to flow through the heat exchanger unit, and a shutter which switches between an opening and a closing of a pathway through which air flows from an outside toward the heat exchanger unit. A control unit controls operations of the fan and the shutter, an index acquisition unit acquires a heat radiation index showing a magnitude of a radiation amount required in the heat exchanger unit, and a fixing determination unit determines whether the shutter is closed and fixed. The control unit performs a control in which the fan is driven while the shutter is closed, when the heat radiation index is equal to or lower than a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: An air-blowing device has a blower fan that is an axial fan located on a downstream side of a heat exchanger in an airflow direction and supplies air to the heat exchanger and a shroud that supports the blower fan and forms an air passage extending from the heat exchanger to the blower fan. At least one side of a periphery of the heat exchanger is arranged to overlap with an outermost peripheral portion of the blower fan that is outermost in a radial direction of the blower fan when viewed in the airflow direction. The shroud has an air-introduction part that is (i) disposed, in a portion in which the ring part and the connection part connect to each other, on a surface of the connection part facing the heat exchanger and (ii) formed concentrically to be centered at a rotational axis of the blower fan. A part of the air-introduction part protrudes outwardly from a periphery of the connection part in the radial direction of the blower fan when viewed in the airflow direction.
