Abstract
An air guide for a motor vehicle includes: at least one downstream main duct intended to be positioned in front of a heat exchange device of the motor vehicle; and at least one air inlet upstream duct configured to be connected to an air inlet, the at least one air inlet upstream duct being connected to the downstream main duct in order to guide the air from the air inlet towards the heat exchange device. The air guide is made as a single piece.
Claims12
An air guide for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- at least one downstream main duct disposed in front of a heat exchange device of the motor vehicle;
- at least one air inlet upstream duct configured to be connected to an air inlet of the motor vehicle, the at least one air inlet upstream duct being connected to the downstream main duct in order to guide air from the air inlet towards the heat exchange device, wherein the air guide is made as a single piece;
- a flap panel mounted between the at least one air inlet upstream duct and the at least one downstream main duct to control air flow between the at least one air inlet upstream duct and the at least one downstream main duct;
- and
- at least two supplementary air supply ducts with inlets that communicate with the air inlet and that guide the air from the air inlet towards an additional device of the motor vehicle different from the heat exchange device, wherein
- the at least two supplementary air supply ducts are spaced-apart from the air inlet upstream duct on the air guide.
