Abstract
A cooling system for an automotive vehicle is disclosed including a heat exchanger assembly, a rotatable axial flow fan and a shroud member at least partially surrounding the fan and the heat exchanger assembly. The cooling system further includes an ejector disposed between the heat exchanger and the engine for drawing ambient air from under the heat exchanger and pumping the air toward the engine and for preventing recirculation of the air exiting the shroud member back to the fan while the vehicle is at idle.
