Abstract
An object is to provide a vehicle heat-exchange module that is capable of reducing abnormal sound generated by interference between rotor blades of a propeller fan and high-static-pressure regions generated at leading edges of stator blades, while decreasing the input power of a fan motor by providing the stator blades on the downstream side of the propeller fan. In a vehicle heat-exchange module including a fan motor that drives a propeller fan, the fan motor is supported to the fan shroud at a downstream side of the propeller fan via motor support struts formed into stator blades in a radiating pattern, and a distance between stator blades formed of the motor support struts and rotor blades of the propeller fan for a narrowest portion at the same position in the radial direction is at least 0.018D<L, where D is the diameter of the rotor blades.
