Abstract
An object is to provide a vehicle heat-exchange module capable of optimizing the whole of a stator blade that deflects a flow in the swirling direction produced by a cooling fan, thereby reducing the work performed by the cooling fan and eventually reducing the input power to the cooling fan, and to provide a vehicle having the vehicle heat-exchange module. According to the vehicle heat-exchange module (), the stator blade () arranged on the downstream side of the cooling fan () is divided by an intermediate ring () into inner-circumference-side stator blade members (A) and outer-circumference-side stator blade members (B), and the number of the inner-circumference-side stator blade members (A) for installation is made smaller than that of the outer-circumference-side stator blade members (B), thus setting the pitch/chord ratio within an appropriate range at each of the inner circumference side and the outer circumference side. As a result, a flow in the swirling direction produced by the cooling fan () is efficiently deflected by the whole of the stator blade (), thereby reducing the work performed by the cooling fan () and eventually reducing the input power to the cooling fan ().
