Abstract
A cooling device with a heat exchanger through which air flows and at least one fan arranged on the heat exchanger, forming a radial gap for generating airflow through the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger having a front face through which air flows which points toward the fan and is covered in portions by the fan, so that the front face is divided into a first subface that is at least partially covered by the fan and a second subface that is free of the fan. The cooling device has a guide sleeve arranged between the heat exchanger and the fan so as to close the radial gap at least in portions, forms a flow channel leading from an air outlet of the fan to the first subface of the front face, fluidically connects the air outlet to the first subface, and fluidically separates the same from the second subface.
