Cooling arrangement for air or gas input in a vehicle engine
First Claim
1. A cooler arrangement in a vehicle powered by combustion engine, the cooler arrangement comprising:
- a first cooling element positioned and configured to cool a circulating coolant fluid;
a radiator fan configured and operable to generate an air flow through the first cooling element for cooling the coolant circulating through the first cooling element;
a tubular casing configured as a flow passage for air and positioned to lead air which has passed through the first cooling element;
at least one further cooling element for cooling a second medium, the further cooling element being arranged in the flow passage at a position downstream of the first cooling element with respect to a direction of flow of the air through the flow passage; and
flow-limiting devices configured and operable to be set to a blocking position so as to prevent air from passing through the flow passage to the at least one further cooling element and to be set to a non-blocking position allowing air flow to the at least one further cooling element.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a cooler arrangement in a vehicle powered by a combustion engine. The cooler arrangement comprises a first cooling element for cooling a first medium in the form of a circulating coolant, and a radiator fan adapted to generating an air flow through the first cooling element for cooling the coolant when it circulates through the first cooling element. The cooler arrangement comprises also a tubular casing adapted to serving as a flow passage for the air which passes through the first cooling element and at least one further cooling element for cooling a second medium, which further cooling element is arranged in the flow passage at a position downstream of the first cooling element with respect to the intended direction of flow of the cooling air through the flow passage.
