Abstract
A radiator arrangement for water cooled combustion engines is disclosed, especially for use with commercial vehicles. The radiator cooling block, including the water boxes, are fastened at the vehicle frame by means of lateral support parts. The lateral support parts are provided with lateral mounting flanges which respectively extend over both ends of the water boxes and exhibit bores which are aligned with corresponding bores at the water boxes, whereby cotter pins or the like extending through the bores act as connecting pins to connect the parts together. This arrangement exhibits the advantage that the water boxes themselves are used as connecting traverse elements for the lateral support parts so that the lateral support parts and the water boxes form a stable frame construction which holds the soldered cooling block therebetween. Expensive soldered connections for the fastening of the lateral support parts is disposed with and the necessary reinforcing strength is formed by this frame construction.
