Abstract

Disclosed is a radiator which can simplify the structure, cut down weight and costs, and reduce assembly process by coupling a plurality of core portions to a single header and a single tank portion. Furthermore, by arranging the plurality of core portions in a front-rear direction, the structure is simplified and it becomes easier to secure an installation space, thus allowing the radiator according to the present invention to be applied to more cars. Furthermore, by configuring the tank portion so as to be partitioned by a pocket or the like, heat transfer between the cooling water cooling the internal combustion engine and the cooling water cooling the electric field system is blocked, thereby improving cooling efficiency much more.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A radiator of an automobile, comprising:
 a tank portion into which cooling water flows; and   a plurality of core portions connected to the tank portion, and arranged in a front-rear direction of the automobile each other,   wherein the plurality of core portions includes a core portion for an internal combustion engine in which cooling water for cooling the internal combustion engine flows and a core portion for an electric field system in which cooling water for cooling the electric field system flows.   
   
   
       2 . The radiator of  claim 1 , wherein the tank portion is partitioned into a plurality of spaces by a partition such that the cooling water entered into the tank portion is supplied separately to the core portion for the internal combustion engine and the core portion for the electric field system. 
   
   
       3 . The radiator of  claim 2 , wherein the partition is provided with at least a communication hole to communicate the cooling water between the plurality of spaces for preventing damage caused by abrupt pressure fluctuations. 
   
   
       4 . The radiator of  claim 1 , wherein the tank portion is partitioned into a plurality of spaces, and a pocket for reducing heat transfer is arranged between the spaces. 
   
   
       5 . The radiator of  claim 4 , wherein the pocket is provided with communication holes to communicate the cooling water between the plurality of spaces for preventing damage caused by abrupt pressure fluctuations. 
   
   
       6 . The radiator of  claim 1 , wherein the tank portion is partitioned into a plurality of spaces by a partition. 
   
   
       7 . The radiator of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of core portions are arranged to be spaced by a predetermined gap in the front-rear direction of the automobile. 
   
   
       8 . The radiator of  claim 1 , wherein the core portion for the electric field system is arranged more forwardly on a front part of the automobile than the core portion for the internal combustion engine. 
   
   
       9 . The radiator of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of core portions further includes a core portion for an air conditioner system for cooling the air conditioner system, and the core portion for the internal combustion engine and the core portion for the air conditioner system are arranged to be spaced in the front-rear direction of the automobile. 
   
   
       10 . The radiator of  claim 9 , wherein the tank portion is partitioned into a plurality of spaces by a partition to form a plurality of tank portions. 
   
   
       11 . The radiator of  claim 10 , wherein the partition is provided with at least a communication hole to communicate the cooling water between the plurality of spaces for preventing damage caused by abrupt pressure fluctuations. 
   
   
       12 . The radiator of  claim 9 , wherein a pocket for blocking heat transfer is arranged between the plurality of tank portions. 
   
   
       13 . The radiator of  claim 12 , wherein the pocket is provided with communication holes to communicate the cooling water between the plurality of spaces for preventing damage caused by abrupt pressure fluctuations. 
   
   
       14 . The radiator of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of core portions further includes a core portion for an air conditioner system for cooling the air conditioner system, and the core portion for the electric field system and the core portion for the air conditioner system are arranged to be spaced in the front-rear direction. 
   
   
       15 . The radiator of  claim 14 , wherein the tank portion is partitioned into a plurality of spaces by a partition to form a plurality of tank portions. 
   
   
       16 . The radiator of  claim 15 , wherein the partition is provided with at least a communication hole to communicate the cooling water between the plurality of spaces for preventing damage caused by abrupt pressure fluctuations. 
   
   
       17 . The radiator of  claim 14 , wherein a pocket for blocking heat transfer is arranged between the plurality of tank portions. 
   
   
       18 . The radiator of  claim 17 , wherein the pocket is provided with communication holes to communicate the cooling water between the plurality of spaces for preventing damage caused by abrupt pressure fluctuations. 
   
   
       19 . The radiator of  claim 1 , wherein the tank portion is provided in plural form so as to correspond to the plurality of core portions, and the plurality of tank portions are arranged to be bonded to each other. 
   
   
       20 . The radiator of  claim 1 , wherein the tank portion is provided in plural form so as to correspond to the plurality of core portions, and the radiator comprises a header connecting the tank portions and the core portions.
