1. A cooling system for a vehicle, the cooling system comprising:

  • a radial fan rotatable about an axis to deliver a radial air flow to the cooling system;

    a plurality of heat exchangers spaced radially from the fan and arranged around the fan to receive the radial air flow therefrom, the heat exchangers bounding an interior space of the cooling system, one of the plurality of heat exchangers being a charge air cooler, the charge air cooler including a first flow path for a charge air flow in heat exchange relation with a second flow path for an engine coolant flow of the vehicle;

    a surface located relative to the fan and the charge air cooler to block the radial air flow from exiting the interior space through the charge air cooler; and

    wherein at least one of the plurality of heat exchangers is a radiator for the engine coolant and includes a coolant outlet connected to a coolant inlet of the charge air cooler to direct the engine coolant to the second flow path.
