Abstract:
A cooling system comprising:a plurality of at least three heat exchangers, a cooling fan, a fan drive mechanism, and a mounting panel, at least one of said heat exchangers adapted to receive a flow of fluid separate from fluid flowing through the other heat exchanges in said plurality of heat exchangers; said mounting panel supporting said fan and drive mechanism for rotation about an axis of rotation, said mounting panel having a front side adapted for receiving and supporting said heat exchangers in a pattern defining a tubular polygonal solid disposed about said fan, said mounting panel including a convex central region extending into said tubular polygonal solid and receiving said drive mechanism in operative connection to said fan, wherein said convex central region of said mounting panel terminates in an adapter plate for receiving said fan drive mechanism and said mounting panel includes a number of corner connector regions equal to the number of heat exchangers, said mounting panel also including a plurality of support struts extending between and integrally joining said corner connector regions to said adapter plate.
