A vehicle heating/cooling system has first and second fluid circulation loops for circulating engine coolant and automotive fluid. A first heat exchanger transfers heat from the coolant to air for the passenger compartment. A second heat exchanger transfers heat between the coolant and automotive fluid. A first valve has first and second inlets for receiving coolant from hot and cold coolant sources, and an outlet for discharging coolant to the second heat exchanger. A second valve has an inlet for receiving coolant from the first coolant source, and an outlet for discharging coolant to the first inlet of the first valve. The valve positions change with temperature of the coolant and the automotive fluid, providing preferential heating of the passenger compartment during cold start-up of the vehicle. The second heat exchanger and valves may be provided in a temperature control module.

The present invention relates to a heat exchanger for a motor vehicle provided on the front surface of an engine room of the vehicle, and, more particularly, to a heat exchanger for a motor vehicle including a sealing member provided on the circumference of the heat exchanger in order to prevent driving-induced wind from leaking to the outside of the heat exchanger without passing through the heat exchanger.

A utility vehicle such as an agricultural tractor includes an engine, a heat exchanger, and a fan located under a hood. The hood is pivotable between a closed position and an open position. The fan is mounted to the hood such that, when in the closed position, the hood covers the engine and heat exchanger and the fan is positioned in an operable position to generate a cooling airstream through the heat exchanger. When the hood is in the open position, the fan is displaced from the operable position.
