Abstract

A cooling device includes: a cooling fan; a shroud provided at an outer circumferential side of the cooling fan; an inner circumferential wall provided on the shroud and adjacent to the outer circumference of the cooling fan so as to surround the cooling fan; an outer circumferential wall provided to surround the inner circumferential wall. An air-flow-direction downstream side end of the outer circumferential wall is positioned at a further downstream position in an air flow direction than an air-flow-direction downstream side end of the inner circumferential wall. The cooling fan is rotatable within a space provided on a radially inner side of the inner circumferential wall. The air-flow-direction downstream side end of the outer circumferential wall is provided at a further upstream position in the air flow direction than an air-flow-direction downstream side end of the cooling fan.
