Abstract
An airflow regulating apparatus for a radiator having a suction fan driven by an engine comprising a radiator core defining passages for the liquid coolant from the engine, a radiator grille mounted on a vehicle frame on the upstream side of said radiator core, and a plurality of plates disposed longitudinally and laterally parallel to the airflow between said radiator core and said radiator grille, said plurality of plates thus forming lattices therebetween in such a manner that the density of the lattices is in proportion to the speed of air inflow thereto.
Claims5
An airflow regulating apparatus for a radiator having a suction fan driven by an engine comprising a radiator core defining passages for a liquid coolant from the engine, a radiator grille mounted on a vehicle frame on the upstream side of said radiator core, and airflow regulating lattice means disposed between said radiator core and said radiator grille, said lattice means including a plurality of plates extending longitudinally and laterally parallel to the airflow, the density of said lattice means being low in and around the central part thereof and high at both side ends and upper and lower end regions thereof, whereby the density is in proportion to the speed of the air inflow to said lattice means so as to attain a uniform outflow speed of the airflow therefrom.
