ABSTRACT:
A fan shroud has side walls that wrap around the side edges of a down flow type radiator, providing both the mounting means for a condenser and side seals to direct air flow from the condenser through the radiator. The lack of direct connection between the radiator and condenser compensates for the lack of overlap between the condenser and radiator tanks, which is the usual means of interconnection. The minimization of contact between the shroud and radiator, which is secured only to the back of the radiator tanks with threaded fasteners, allows the same shroud and condenser to be packaged more easily with differing radiator designs.
