Abstract
According to a first aspect of the invention, a cooling module comprises a cooling system which comprises a radiator. A fan for generating air flow across the radiator also has a fan housing attached to the radiator in which the fan is located so that the fan is disposed relative to the radiator such that the fan may generate air flow across the radiator. A mounting plate is also attached to the radiator and has a first side facing the radiator and a second side. The mounting plate has attachment sites on the second side integral therewith on which other parts of the cooling system are mountable and channels integral therewith through which a coolant flowing through the cooling system may pass.
