Abstract
A cooling system for an internal combustion engine with two-stage supercharging includes a charge-air line in which is provided a first compressor of a first turbocharger and a second compressor of a second turbocharger downstream of the former, a first charge-air cooler being provided between first and second compressor, and a second charge-air cooler downstream of the second compressor. At least one of the two charge-air coolers is disposed upstream of the coolant cooler as seen in a flow direction of the cooling air, and the second charge-air cooler is disposed above or beside the first charge-air cooler.
