Abstract
A water-cooled internal combustion engine for motor vehicles, particularly a diesel engine, with a cooling system comprising two separate cooling units, each of them consisting of a radiator and a fan, the first cooling unit being arranged forwardly of the engine receiving drive from the engine by mechanical transmission means, the fan of the second cooling unit receiving drive from the engine itself via transmission means, the first cooling unit dissipating at least 60% of maximum heat output and the second unit coming into action additionally to the first by means of temperature control.
