FIELD OF INVENTION
This invention relates to an improved radiator mounting arrangement particularly for Genset application.
PRIOR ART
An internal combustion engine is having vibrations because of unbalanced forces. Therefore, all the engine parts should be able to withstand these vibrations. Various accessories are positioned over the engine depending upon the application requirement. To prevent failure of these accessories, the mounting arrangement should be in such a way that only a minimum level of vibrations gets transferred over them. Radiator is one of the most important parts of the cooling system in water cooled internal combustion engines. Radiator comprises some critical parts like tubes, fins, coolant expansion tank, upper and lower tanks etc. which can be damaged because of vibrations. As the Gensets continuously run for a longer period of time as compared to automobile application per day, the problem of radiator failure is very common and critical in the case of Genset Engines.
Existing design is one single part. Currently available radiator mounting support transfers higher level of vibration over the radiator which causes early failure of the same.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
The primary object of the present invention is to propose an improved radiator mounting arrangement, which minimizes the transfer of engine vibrations over the radiator so as to prevent failure of radiator resulting in longer life of the same.
Further object of the present invention is to propose an improved radiator mounting arrangement which is cost effective.
STATEMENT OF INVENTION
According to this invention, there is provided an improved radiator mounting arrangement comprising of a pad between engine mounting support and radiator mounting support.

DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION WITH REFERENCE TO
THE ACCOMPANYING DRAWINGS;
Referring to fig. 1, wherein the known radiator mounting arrangement comprising of one single part consisting of engine and radiator without any separation therebetween causing transfer of vibration directly from the engine to radiator. This results in failure of radiator.
Now, reference may be made to fig. 2 and 3.
The present invention discloses an improved radiator mounting arrangement particularly for Genset application comprising of a pad (2) between engine mounting support (1) and radiator mounting support (3).
Thus, it causes only a minimal level of engine vibration transfer over the radiator because the radiator mounting is not in direct contact with the engine. The pad is preferably AVM pad.
Therefore, the present invention comprises mainly three components namely, engine mounting support, AVM pads and the radiator mounting support. AVM pads are used to separate said engine mounting support from the radiator mounting support (As shown in fig. 2 and 3). Separation of these two supports minimizes the transfer of vibration over the radiator thereby preventing the radiator failure, which leads to longer life of the radiator.

Reference may be made to fig. 4 indicating vibration comparison of known and radiator mounting of the present invention. This graph reflects better performance by the present invention.
Advantageous features of modified radiator mounting
Lighter in weight.
Cost effective due to reduced material weight.
Enhanced life span of the radiator assembly due to very less
vibrations transfer.
It is to be noted that the present invention is susceptible to modifications, adaptations and changes by those skilled in the art. Such variant embodiments employing the concepts and features of this invention are intended to be within the scope of the present invention, which is further set forth under the following claims:-
