Abstract

An under-floor cooling system 6 for a rail vehicle 1 which is driven, at least indirectly, by an internal combustion engine is provided. The cooling system 6 comprises: two lateral boundary surfaces 8 running parallel to a principal axis 7; at least two cooling heat exchangers 9 at least one of which is located on each of the lateral boundary surfaces 8, at least two fans 11 for generating a cooling air stream flowing through the cooling heat exchangers 9 transversely to the principal axis 7. At least one of the at least two fans 11 is located on one side in the area of the cooling heat exchanger 9 located on the respective lateral boundary surface 8 and at least one of the at least two fans 11 is located on the other side in the area of the cooling heat exchanger 9 located on the respective lateral boundary surface 8.The invention is characterized in that at least one fuel tank 12 for the internal combustion engine is located between the at least one fan 11 on the one side and the at least one fan 11 on the other side.
