Original Abstract Submitted

A cooling structure for an air cooler may include: a stack cooling line through which stack coolant for cooling a fuel cell stack circulates; an electronic component cooling line through which electronic component coolant for cooling an electronic component circulates; an air cooler disposed on the electronic component cooling line to cool air supplied to a cathode of the fuel cell stack; and a first valve connected to the front side of the air cooler to supply at least one of the stack coolant or the electronic component coolant to the air cooler. The cooling structure for an air cooler may include a bypass line connecting the electronic component cooling line upstream of the first valve to the electronic component cooling line downstream of the air cooler in order to allow the electronic component coolant to bypass the air cooler.
