Abstract:
1. A vehicle heat-exchange module comprising: at least one heat exchanger that is arranged close to a front section of an engine of a vehicle; a cooling fan that forcibly supplies external air to the heat exchanger; a fan shroud that has an opening portion formed in a substantially circular shape in plan view and that guides external air heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger to the cooling fan through the opening portion; and a stator blade that is provided in the opening portion and that deflects a swirling component of a flow of the external air passing through the cooling fan, wherein an annular ring member is provided for the stator blade between an outer circumference portion of the stator blade and a center portion thereof, and the number of inner-circumference-side blade members that are radially arranged at an inner circumference side of the ring member is different from that of outer-circumference-side blade members that are radially arranged at an outer circumference side of the ring member, and wherein the inner-circumference-side blade members and the outer-circumference-side blade members are respectively formed such that a blade chord length joining a blade leading edge and a blade trailing edge is gradually increased from an inner circumference side of the stator blade toward an outer circumference side thereof.
