Abstract

The present invention relates to a cooling module for a vehicle, and more particularly, to a cooling module for a vehicle including a condenser, a first radiator through which coolant for an engine flow, a second radiator through which coolant for electrical components flows, and an intercooler, and capable of evenly distributing air resistance of the front surface of the first radiator to secure an overall balance of an air volume distribution by disposing the condenser, the second radiator, and the first radiator in a flow direction of air or disposing the second radiator, the condenser, and the first radiator in this order, and disposing the intercooler on lower sides of the condenser and the second radiator, and capable of minimizing a gap of each heat exchange period by disposing the condenser C and the first radiator R to be in closely contact with the second radiator L.

Claims (18)

1. A cooling module for a vehicle, comprising:

a second radiator disposed in a front of the vehicle and having a second heat exchange medium flowing therein;

a first radiator disposed at a rear of the second radiator, in parallel with the second radiator and having a first heat exchange medium flowing therein;

a condenser disposed between the second radiator and the first radiator to condense a refrigerant flowing in an air conditioning system for the vehicle; and

an intercooler disposed on lower sides of the second radiator and the condenser and disposed in the front of the first radiator;

wherein a width length of a core portion of the second radiator (LL) is longer than a width length of a core portion of the condenser (LC) and a width length of a core portion of the first radiator (LR).

2. The cooling module for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein a height of the core portion of the first radiator (HR) is greater than a summation of a height of the core portion of the condenser (HC) and a height of the core portion of the intercooler (HI), or a summation of a height of the core portion of the second radiator (HL) and a height of a core portion of the intercooler (HI), and

the core portion of the condenser, the core portion of the second radiator, and the core portion of the intercooler are disposed to all overlap with the core portion of the first radiator.

3. The cooling module for a vehicle of claim 2 , wherein an effective area of the core portion of the condenser is smaller than an effective area of the core portion of the second radiator.

4. The cooling module for a vehicle of claim 2 , wherein a summation of an effective area of the core portion of the condenser and an effective area of the core portion of the intercooler is smaller than a summation of an effective area of the core part of the first radiator.

5. The cooling module for a vehicle of claim 2 , wherein a distance between a first tank of the second radiator having an inlet part to which the second heat exchange medium is introduced and one end of the condenser adjacent to the second radiator in a width direction thereof is greater than a distance between a second header tank of the second radiator positioned at an opposite side of the first tank of the second radiator and the other end of the condenser adjacent to the second radiator in the width direction.

6. The cooling module for a vehicle of claim 5 , wherein the other end of the condenser in the width direction is disposed on the same plane as the second header tank of the second radiator.

7. The cooling module for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein a width length of a core portion of the intercooler (LI) is smaller than a width length of the core portion of the first radiator (LR).

8. A cooling module for a vehicle, comprising:

a second radiator disposed in a front of the vehicle and having a second heat exchange medium flowing therein;

a first radiator disposed at a rear of the second radiator and in parallel with the second radiator and having a first heat exchange medium flowing therein;

a condenser disposed between the second radiator and the first radiator to condense a refrigerant flowing in an air conditioning system for a vehicle; and

an intercooler disposed on lower sides of the second radiator and the condenser and disposed in a front of the first radiator.
