Patent ID: 8166758

Claim:
A cooling arrangement for a vehicle powered by a combustion engine, the cooling arrangement comprising: at least one cooling element configured and operable to have flowing through it a gaseous medium, wherein the at least one cooling element is configured to cool the gaseous medium by an external air flow flowing in a specified direction through the cooling element during operation of the combustion engine; a heat-supplying element fitted at a location upstream from the at least one cooling element with respect to the direction of the external air flow so that at least part of the air flow through the heat-supplying element flows through the cooling element; a control device configured and operable to activate the heat-supplying element to warm the external air flow through the heat-supplying element when the control device determines a risk of the gaseous medium in the cooling element being cooled to below predetermined low threshold temperature; and the heat-supplying element and the cooling element are connected so that they constitute a composite unit.
