Abstract
An engine cooling apparatus adopting a separate type radiator so as to make it possible to reduce the number of parts and simplify the internal structure of a water pump by connecting left and right radiators to a water pump. One end of a laterally-extending connecting pipe mounted across the engine in right and left directions is connected to a water pipe provided at an outlet tank of a left radiator, while the other end thereof is coupled with a joint pipe provided at an outlet tank of a right radiator. Water supplied from the left radiator flows through the laterally-extending connecting pipe and meets water flow from the right radiator in the outlet tank. A water pump sucks the water collected in the outlet tank through a water duct via a water pipe provided in the lower part of the outlet tank, and pressurizes the water and supplies it to a water jacket of the engine.
