Abstract:
A cooling module for a vehicle may include a main radiator, a sub-radiator, a water-cooled condenser and an air-cooled condenser. The main radiator may be disposed at a front region of an engine room and supplies cooled cooling water to an engine. The sub-radiator may be disposed substantially in parallel with the main radiator and in front of the main radiator, have header tanks at both sides and supply the cooled cooling water to an intercooler or electric components. The water-cooled condenser may be disposed in one of the header tanks and primarily condenses a refrigerant by using the cooling water as a heat exchange medium. The air-cooled condenser may be in fluidic communication with the water-cooled condenser to be introduced with the refrigerant condensed in the water-cooled condenser and may be disposed in front of the sub-radiator to secondarily condense the refrigerant.
