Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for a heat shield. In one example, the heat shield is formed of a composite material, the heat shield configured to shield a component from radiated heat. The composite material is a mixture of aluminum particles dispersed in an elastomer matrix.
Claims20
A heat shield for a vehicle, comprising:
- a composite material forming the heat shield, the heat shield configured to shield a component from radiated heat, and wherein the composite material is a mixture of aluminum particles dispersed in an ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) matrix in a ratio of 10-50 parts aluminum particles per 100 parts EPDM.
A heat shield for a vehicle component, comprising:
- a composite material formed of aluminum particles dispersed in ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) in a ratio of 10-50 parts aluminum particles per 100 parts EPDM, the EPDM having a higher thermal absorptivity than the aluminum particles, wherein the heat shield is coupled to the vehicle component to reduce heating of the vehicle component.
A vehicle, comprising:
- an under-hood region;
- a heat-generating component arranged in the under-hood region and maintained in place by one or more mounts;
- and
- a heat shield coupled to one of the one or more mounts, the heat shield formed of an aluminum particle/ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) composite in a ratio of 10-50 parts aluminum particles per 100 parts EPDM, the composite configured to reduce heat absorption at the one or more mounts.
