Abstract

A radiator intended for an internal combustion engine or assemblies thereof is installed in an end area of a body of a motor vehicle, especially an automobile, in a space delimited by the outside walls of the body. The outside wall has shape sections that run at angles to one another, to which the radiator is then adapted at least areawise by its outside contour to produce advantageous installation conditions for the radiator.
