  • Patent number: 9694666
    Abstract: A motor vehicle may include a radiator arrangement. The radiator arrangement may include a radiator grill having a cooling air inlet and a radiator arranged behind the cooling air inlet with respect to a forward traveling direction. A flow-directing device may be arranged to direct a cooling air flow from the cooling air inlet to the radiator. The flow-directing device may include at least one baffle element disposed on a radiator-grill side of the radiator arrangement and at least one other baffle element disposed on a radiator side. Additionally or alternatively, the flow-directing device may include a bellows arranged on the radiator-grill side or on the radiator side. Additionally or alternatively, the flow-directing device may include at least one rail including a groove and at least one rail baffle element guided in the at least one guide groove.

  • Patent number: 9447791
    Abstract: A fan, with fan blades, especially used for the cooling of a motor vehicle, with the fan blades being fixed to a fan hub. In spite of being made of only a small amount of material, the fan is highly resistant to the flow conditions in the motor vehicle, each fan blade being bent rearwards at an angle in the direction of a blade root, an angled region of the fan blade being at least partially bent downwards towards the fan hub.

  • Publication number: 20080156282
    Abstract: The invention relates to an axial ventilator for the cooling device of an internal combustion engine, in particular for a motor vehicle, wherein said axial ventilator comprises a rotatably driven hub (2) provided with air blades (11-19) which are fixed thereto and radially inwardly limited by an internal diameter (Di) and radially outwardly limited by an external diameter (Da). In order to obtain a small-sized axial ventilator, the ratio between the internal (Di) and external (Da) diameters is greater than 40%.

  • Patent number: 6382915
    Abstract: The invention relates to an axial fan, in particular for radiators of motor vehicles, the axial blades being fastened to a fan hub, and the fan hub in turn being connected to a viscous fluid friction clutch. According to the invention, air-guide elements or guide blades are arranged in the hub region on the front side or suction side of the axial fan. These air-guide elements or guide blades deflect the flow from the front side to the rear side of the blades and thereby stabilize the flow. To further improve the flow conditions, the hub region is covered by a cap on its front side.
