A cooling apparatus for a vehicle includes air-cooling first and second heat exchangers that are placed beside each other. A coolant flow-out portion of the first heat exchanger from which a first coolant which is a cooling target of the first heat exchanger flows out and a coolant flow-out portion of the second heat exchanger from which a second coolant which is a cooling target of the second heat exchanger flows out are placed at ends at opposite positions separated along a diagonal line on a parallel placement surface of the two heat exchangers. A first cooling fan is placed opposing the coolant flow-out portion of the first heat exchanger, and a second cooling fan is placed opposing the coolant flow-out portion of the second heat exchanger. With this configuration, cooling performance of two air-cooling heat exchangers placed beside each other can be improved.

Cooling apparatus for vehicle

A cooling device for a vehicle includes a mechanical fan configured to be driven by a driving force of the engine, an engine cooling heat exchanger disposed forward of the mechanical fan in a front-rear direction of the vehicle, a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger that are disposed forward of the engine cooling heat exchanger in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, a first electric fan that includes a first motor and cools the first heat exchanger, and a second electric fan that includes a second motor and cools the second heat exchanger. The first motor and the second motor are disposed forward of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger, respectively, in the front-rear direction of the vehicle such that the first motor and the second motor do not overlap the coupling when viewed in a front direction of the vehicle.

Cooling device for vehicle

There is provided a radiator reservoir tank including: a tank body that is connected to a radiator and that includes an inlet section and an accumulation section for cooling water; a first rib that is disposed inside the tank body, and that extends out from a side wall at one side of facing side walls of the tank body toward another side, and that partitions between the inlet section and the accumulation section, and that is provided with a gap to the side wall at the other side; and a second rib that is provided further toward the inlet section side or the accumulation section side than the first rib, that extends out from the side wall at the other side toward the one side, and that is provided with a gap to the side wall at the one side.
