Abstract
A cooling apparatus for an internal combustion engine is provided in which a temperature detecting tip of a temperature sensor is arranged in a position where flow of a coolant is smooth, to thereby improve a measurement accuracy of coolant temperature. A thermoelement assemblyand the temperature sensorwhich detects the temperature of the coolant are accommodated in the housingarranged at a return channel of the coolant which flows from a radiator to a coolant inflow part of the engine. The temperature detecting tipof the temperature sensoris arranged to face the inside of a circulation holeof the housingbetween a valve bodywhich constitutes the thermoelement assembly and a frame support part formed in the circulation holeof the housing
