Abstract
An automotive radiator has a tank containing a transmission oil cooler which has a double walled tubular configuration for heat transfer from oil circulating between the walls to the engine coolant through its outer wall and its inner wall. Engine coolant flows from radiator heat exchange tubes into the tank and around and through the cooler to a discharge port. To optimize the efficiency of the cooler, a baffle is inserted in the tank to direct most of the coolant flow in the tank through the oil cooler for heat transfer from the inner wall.
