A vehicle cooling package has a fan shroud mounted to a heat exchanger
assembly. A diverter plate is mounted adjacent to the shroud and spaced
therefrom with a fan interposed therebetween. A diverting surface of the
shroud and the diverter plate are angled from the axis of the fan when
the shroud and plate are assembled to the vehicle. A vehicle hood has
upper and side surfaces each having air discharge apertures corresponding
with the space between the diverting surface and the diverter plate when
the hood is closed. The diverting surface and the diverter plate both
extend fully to the hood assembly when the hood is closed. The angles of
the diverting surface and the diverter plate closely match a natural
discharge angle of the fan, so that air is discharged from the fan at a
high velocity from under the hood through the air discharge apertures.
