ABSTRACT:
A clearance44is provided between the outer periphery of a duct42and a vehicle body, that is, a radiator support50and, at the same time, the clearance44is made to have a labyrinth structure. In this structure, it is possible to prevent vibrations of the vehicle body from being propagated from the radiator support50to the duct42while preventing a current of air, such as one caused by movement of the vehicle, from flowing around heat exchangers, such as a radiator10,and flowing downstream through the clearance44.Therefore, it is possible to improve the cooling performance of heat exchangers such as the radiator10while preventing the duct42,that is, a duct shroud40from being damaged by vibration.
