Patent ID: 8251023

Claim:
A cooling arrangement for a vehicle powered by a combustion engine, the cooling arrangement comprising: an air passage configured and operable to receive air flow in a first direction; at least three cooling elements, each cooling element positioned in the air passage and configured and operable to effect cooling of a respective medium passing through the respective cooling element, the cooling elements are arranged one after another in the air passage along the first direction such that at least part of the air flowing through the air passage flows as a coolant successively past all of the cooling elements; a respective connection for each medium from the engine to a respective one of the cooling elements; the first cooling element positioned first upstream in the air passage along the first direction comprises a radiator configured and operable to cool a first medium in the form of a radiator liquid for cooling the combustion engine, the second cooling element downstream in sequence along the first direction comprises a charge air cooler configured and operable to cool a second medium in the form of compressed air which is led to the combustion engine, and the third cooling element downstream in sequence along the first direction comprises an EGR cooler configured and operable to cool a third medium in the form of exhaust gases which are recirculated to the combustion engine; a second air passage positioned, configured and operable to receive air flow; and at least one extra cooling element arranged in the second air passage and positioned and configured to again cool at least one of the media which had already been cooled in the air passage before the at least one of the media is fed to the engine.
