Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kühlanlage (1) mit mehreren einzelnen Kühlern (2, 3, 4, 5), die kastenförmig angeordnet sind und die ein Radiallaufrad (15), innerhalb der kastenförmigen Anordnung besitzt, das Frischluft über eine mit einer Düse (10) versehenen Ansaugöffnung (11) in der Frontwand (12) ansaugt und als Kühlluft durch die Kühler (2, 3, 4, 5,) der kastenförmigen Anordnung hindurchbläst, wobei die Kühlanlage (1) eine Rückwand (13) aufweist, die zum Zentrum hin eingezogen ist und das Lager (14) des Radiallaufrades (9) trägt.
Eine kompakte und stabile Bauweise wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, daß die Rückwand (13) vom Zentrum ausgehende Streben (25) aufweist, die zu in den Ecken der Kühlanlage (1) angeordneten Knotenblechen (16 - 19) führen,
  • daß in mindestens zwei der Knotenbleche (16 - 19) mindestens je eine Öffnung (20) zum Durchführen eines zu kühlenden Mediums durch mindestens einen Kühler (3, 4 oder 5) angeordnet ist,
  • und daß in den Knotenblechen (16-19) Mittel zur lösbaren Befestigung (6, 7, 8) der Rückwand (13) an den Sammelkästen (40, 50) der Kühler (2, 3, 4, 5) angeordnet sind.
