Abstract
A condenser has an outlet side region close to an outlet for discharging refrigerant from the condenser. The outlet side region does not face auxiliary radiator, which is disposed on a cooling air upstream side of the condenser. Accordingly, low temperature cooling air that does not pass through the auxiliary radiator can flow into the outlet side region of the condenser in which the refrigerant is lowered most. As a result, a difference in temperature between the refrigerant and the cooling air at the outlet side region becomes large. This prevents deterioration of cooling capacity of the condenser.
