Abstract (en)

[origin: US6196169B1] A cooling apparatus for the internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle includes a cooling-air fan (10), a radiator assembly (2) and a fan shroud (18) which extends from a fan ring (9), enclosing the cooling-air fan, as far as the radiator assembly. In order, with given dimensioning of the radiator assembly (2) and cooling-air fan (10), to increase the cooling capacity, the fan shroud (18) forms, in the part (12) which projects laterally beyond the projection of the cooling-air fan (10), a vertical flow duct (23) and, in the part (11) which projects beyond the radiator assembly (2), a collecting chamber (22) which is in flow connection with the vertical flow duct (23).
