Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a cooling module for vehicles that improves cooling performance, prevents cooling performance difference, saves energy, and reduces manufacturing cost. The cooling module includes a water cooled type and an air cooled type condenser, a radiator for electric devices, and a radiator for a stack. By dividing the condenser and placing each component based on its heat transfer and driving temperature, the module provides better cooling performance and prevents temperature differences between the front and rear of the vehicle. It also saves power, reduces the size of the cooling system, and simplifies the piping layout.

Problems solved by technology

However, in a cooling module of a cooling system for a conventional environmentally-friendly vehicle, a radiator for electric devices, a radiator for a stack, and an air conditioning condenser are disposed in a front / rear direction of a vehicle and a capacity of a radiator for a stack has to be increased to secure cooling performance of a fuel cell stack, and therefore the configuration of the cooling module becomes complicated and there is a problem that the layout of each piping that connects the operating system with the air conditioning system is complicated.
Also, when a radiator for electric devices, a radiator for a stack, and an air condenser are disposed from a front side to rear side direction, it is hard to secure a space for mounting a cooling module between an engine room and a bumper and an amount of heat transfer and an operating temperature of each radiator and an air condenser are different from each other, thus, when they are cooled by cooling fan and traveling wind, the cooling system can overcool refrigerant or undercool, and a cooling fan and a water pump are operated based on the system that a cooling capacity is low, and therefore there is a problem that the operating power is increased and traveling distance is decreased.

Abstract

A cooling module for a vehicle connected to an operating system and an air conditioning system. The cooling module may include a radiator for a stack that is disposed at a rear side based on a front / rear direction of a vehicle, a radiator for electric devices that is disposed at one side based on a width direction of a vehicle at a front side of the radiator for a stack, a first condenser that is disposed inside a header tank of the radiator for electric devices to condense refrigerant as a first condensing process, and a second condenser that is disposed at the other side based on a width direction of a vehicle at a front side of the radiator for a stack and is connected to the first condenser to condense the refrigerant that is exhausted from the first condenser as a second condensing process.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present application claims priority of Korean Patent Application Number 10-2013-0122240 filed Oct. 14, 2013, the entire contents of which application is incorporated herein for all purposes by this reference.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0002]1. Field of Invention[0003]The present invention is related to a cooling module for a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cooling module for a vehicle that a condenser of an air conditioning system is separately disposed in an electric vehicle, each condenser, a radiator for electric devices, and a radiator for a stack are disposed depending on amount of heat transfer and operating temperature, and a cooling performance of a vehicle is improved such that a travel distance is extended, and a heating / cooling performance and a package are improved.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]Recently, energy efficiency and environmental pollution are of increasing concern, and enviro...
