Abstract
A cooling module for an automotive vehicle is disclosed. The module includes a pair of bypass doors for directing a flow of air around either of the condenser or radiator in the module depending upon the demands for engine cooling, air conditioning, and any other cooling requirements. Under suitable conditions, the radiator bypass feature or the condenser bypass feature will open, providing additional cooling for the condenser or radiator respectively, in order to satisfy given cooling requirements more efficiently.
