  • Patent number: 11339707
    Abstract: A fan assembly including a first cooling fan arranged with respect to an air flow direction downstream of a heat exchanger and a second cooling fan. The first cooling fan is a radial fan that draws cooling air axially and expels the cooling air radially and the second cooling fan is an axial fan that draws cooling air axially and expels the cooling air axially. The axial fan is arranged downstream of the heat exchanger and laterally adjacent to the radial fan in a plane parallel to the rear side of the heat exchanger in a plane parallel to the front side of the heat exchanger.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 6, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 24, 2022

  • Patent number: 10989055
    Abstract: It is provided a cooling fan module having: a fan shroud; a fan propeller cutout, which is formed in the fan shroud; a motor mount which is mechanically connected to the fan shroud by means of struts which are located at the rear viewed in the flow direction; a motor, which is mounted at least partially in the motor mount; a fan propeller which is arranged in the fan propeller cutout and which is driven rotationally about a rotational axis R by the motor. The fan propeller has a plurality of blade elements. All the elements of a group which has at least one of the struts and at least one of the blade elements are forward-sickled or rearward-sickled.
