An improved mounting device for mounting heat exchanger elements in a motor vehicle, the mounting device including a shroud for containing and supporting heat exchangers elements and attachment members for removably securing the shroud to a selected supporting structure of a motor vehicle. The shroud includes an end wall having an opening therein, a continuous sidewall extending from the end wall for encasing the heat exchanger elements and having an open end, and circulation members for moving a cooling medium through the shroud, the medium being admitted through the open end of the sidewall and being discharged through the opening in the end wall.

Motor vehicle with improved radiator and condenser mounting device

Each of a pair of heat exchangers, such as a radiator and a condenser, includes a tubular structure defining a fluid flow path between an inlet manifold and an outlet manifold. The heat exchangers reside in juxtaposition for a unit with the respective fluid flow paths being congruently aligned along the axis of a stream of cooling medium passing therethrough. The heat exchangers are sealingly encased within a shroud for directing the stream of cooling medium through the tubular structures. The shroud, which is alternately usable with a conventional radiator, and the heat exchanger units are installed in a motor vehicle as a pre-fabricated modular cooling unit.
