Abstract (en)

A mount seat 21 is formed on a bracket 13 as a housing to be affixed to an engine body 1 of a water-cooled engine, and a water-type oil cooler C having a cooling water inlet 61 and a cooling water outlet 62 is affixed to a fitting surface 21a of the mount seat 21. The bracket further has formed a pump chamber 32 of a cooling water pump, intake path and release path 34 both communicating with the pump chamber 32, first communication path 37 communicating with the release path 34 within the bracket 13, second communication paths 38a, 38b, 38c communicating with the intake path 33 within the bracket 13. The first communication path 37 and the second communication paths 38a, 38b, 38c communicate with a cooling water inlet 61 and cooling water outlet 62 of the oil cooler, respectively, at the fitting surface 21a. This configuration contributes to reducing the flow path resistance of the cooling passage for delivery of cooling water to and from the oil cooler C and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the oil cooler C. It also decreases parts and assembling steps, and improves readiness of maintenance. <IMAGE>
