The role of car air ducts in temperature regulation is crucial, involving the thermal management of the engine and the comfort of the interior. The automotive engine generates a lot of heat during operation. Excessive temperatures not only affect the performance of the engine, but can also cause overheating, damage and shorten the service life. Therefore, the design of the air duct needs to ensure that there is enough air inflow to carry away the heat dissipated by the engine. The position of the air inlet of the air duct, its diameter and its cooperation with the engine cooling system have a direct impact on the temperature regulation effect. By optimizing these design parameters, automakers can improve the thermal efficiency of the engine.
The air duct also plays an important role in the air conditioning system in the car. The circulation of air in the car is directly related to the comfort of the passengers. The air duct introduces outside air or air treated by the cooling system into the car to help maintain the set temperature. Especially in bad climate conditions, the design of the air duct determines the ability of the car to quickly reach the set temperature. For example, the use of a multi-channel design can enhance the distribution efficiency of cold or warm air and make the temperature uniform in various areas of the car.
The material selection and insulation performance of the automotive air duct are also important factors in temperature regulation. Using materials with good thermal insulation properties can reduce the impact of outside temperature on the air inside the car and improve the efficiency of the air conditioning system. The air duct must also be sealed well enough to prevent heat leakage and infiltration of external hot air.
