Abstract
An air guiding device is arranged in a front end part of a motor vehicle and has an air guiding duct containing a radiator unit through which fresh air flows. A wheel house grille is arranged in the guiding duct downstream of the radiator unit. The wheel house grille has differently positioned air guiding slats for the passage of radiator outlet air. The air guiding slats are positioned so that part of the radiator outlet air is guided to the vehicle outside and a further part of the radiator outlet air can be supplied to the vehicle inside and via a deflecting blade to a wheel brake for cooling. The air guiding slats may also be closed over subregions by means of a facing such that no outlet air can flow through the slats in the subregions.
Claims10
An air guiding device in a front end part of a motor vehicle for guiding fresh air, the air guiding device comprising:
- an air guiding duct having a front air inlet opening, a radiator in the guiding duct rearward of the inlet opening for receiving fresh air from the inlet opening and an air outlet opening downstream of the radiator and receiving radiator outlet, the air outlet opening including a wheel house grille that is oriented transversely in the vehicle and has vertically oriented air guiding slats disposed and configured to guide a first part of the radiator outlet air to a vehicle outside area and a second part of the radiator outlet air to a vehicle inside area and toward an air deflecting blade downstream of the wheel house grille, the air deflecting blade being configured to guide the second part of the radiator outlet air toward a wheel brake in the wheel house for cooling the wheel brake.
