Claim:
1. A radiator module comprising a coolant inlet duct and a coolant outlet duct and two radiators, the first radiator having a first core connected between a first inlet tank and a first outlet tank and the second radiator having a second core connected between a second inlet tank and a second outlet tank, wherein said coolant inlet duct of the radiator module is connected to a coolant inlet of the first inlet tank and said coolant outlet duct of the radiator module is connected to a coolant outlet of the first outlet tank, wherein each of the tanks comprise a box shaped housing with a first rim, in which a header plate of a respective core fits, wherein a coolant outlet of the first inlet tank is connected to a coolant inlet of the second inlet tank, wherein a coolant inlet of the first outlet tank is connected to a coolant outlet of the second outlet tank, wherein a flow restrictor plate is fitted in one of the first tanks adjacent to a header plate of the first core within a second rim at a location below an axis defined the coolant inlet and the coolant outlet, and wherein said flow restrictor plate dividing said one of the first tanks into a transit portion where coolant flow between the coolant inlet and the coolant outlet of said one of the first tanks is unimpeded by the flow restrictor plate and an obstruction portion where coolant flow between the first core and said transit portion is impeded by the flow restrictor plate.
