Abstract
Known cooling systems exhibit separate radiators (3), compensator reservoirs (2) and fan shrouds (1). These parts must all be mounted separately, then, and as they are generally placed at various locations in the vehicle, connecting hoses must be led from the various mounting places to the internal-combustion engine. In accordance with the invention, the compensator reservoir (2) and the fan shroud (1) are fabricated in one piece and made as a support for the radiator (3). Thus, only one part need be mounted on the vehicle or on the internal-combustion engine, and only one hose run need be provided to connect the cooling system to the internal-combustion engine.
