Methods and systems are provided for a cooling module assembly for a vehicle. In one example, the cooling module assembly includes a first set of fins arranged in a circle, configured to flow a first fluid through a first sinusoidal, continuous inner passage, and a second set of fins, also arranged in a circle and configured to flow a second fluid through a second sinusoidal, continuous inner passage. The second set of fins shares a common plane with the first set of fins and is arranged concentric about the first set of fins.
