Abstract

The cooling unit (1) has a cooling network (8) with flat pipes (7) and ribs (6), a refrigerant cooler (3) with collecting tanks (10,11), a charge cooler (2) and other coolers or heat exchangers. A radial ventilator rotates inside the cooling unit. The unit has front (16) and rear (17) walls and at least one compensation container (4) for refrigerant. The compensation container is arranged so that its projection faces covers at least part of the surface of the cooling network and conducts cooling air from the compensation container.
