Abstract

Air guide for a fan cowling of a motor vehicle, the fan cowling being arranged downstream of a heat exchanger in a direction of airflow. The air guide includes an air guide body having a plurality of surfaces and an air passage opening arranged between adjacent surfaces of the air guide body, a guide surface which corresponds to the opening and configured to act on airflow through the air passage opening; and an end region which extends from the guide surface and which is spaced from and extends in a plane which is substantially parallel to a plane of the surface of the air guide body. The guide surface begins at a first edge of the air passage opening and the end region ends at the opposite edge of the opening, and the end region does not overlap with an adjacent surface that continues at the opposite edge of the air passage opening.

Claims (36)

1 . Air guide for a fan cowling of a motor vehicle, the fan cowling being arranged downstream of a heat exchanger in a direction of airflow, the air guide comprising:

an air guide body having a plurality of surfaces and an air passage opening arranged between adjacent surfaces of the air guide body;

a guide surface which corresponds to the opening and configured to act on airflow through the air passage opening; and

an end region which extends from the guide surface and which is spaced from and extends in a plane which is substantially parallel to a plane of the surface of the air guide body,

wherein:

the guide surface begins at a first edge of the air passage opening and the end region ends at the opposite edge of the opening; and

the end region does not overlap with an adjacent surface that continues at the opposite edge of the air passage opening.

2 . The air guide of claim 1 , wherein the air passage opening has a V-shaped cross-section.

3 . The air guide of claim 1 , wherein the guide surface extends downwardly from a corresponding surface of the air guide body.

4 . The air guide of claim 1 , wherein the air passage opening is configured to overlap the guide surface and the end region.

5 . The air guide of claim 1 , wherein the air passage opening, the guide surface and the end region are arranged in a separate component configured for connection to the fan cowling.

6 . Air guide for a motor vehicle, the air guide comprising:

a plurality of air guide surfaces;

an air passage opening arranged between adjacent air guide surfaces;

a guide surface which extends from an air guide surface and corresponds to the air passage opening; and

an end region which extends from the guide surface in a plane which is substantially parallel to a plane of the surface of the air guide body,

wherein:

the guide surface begins at a first edge of the air passage opening and the end region ends at the opposite edge of the opening; and

the end region does not overlap with an adjacent surface that continues at the opposite edge of the air passage opening.

7 . The air guide of claim 6 , wherein the air passage opening has a V-shaped cross-section.

8 . The air guide of claim 6 , wherein the guide surface extends downwardly from a corresponding surface of the air guide body.

9 . The air guide of claim 6 , wherein the air passage opening is configured to overlap the guide surface and the end region.

10 . The air guide of claim 6 , wherein the air passage opening, the guide surface and the end region are arranged in a separate component configured for connection to the fan cowling.

11 . A motor vehicle, comprising:

an air guide having:

a plurality of air guide surfaces;

an air passage opening arranged between adjacent air guide surfaces;

a guide surface which extends from an air guide surface and corresponds to the air passage opening; and

an end region which extends from the guide surface in a plane which is substantially parallel to a plane of the surface of the air guide body,

wherein:

the guide surface begins at a first edge of the air passage opening and the end region ends at the opposite edge of the opening; and

the end region does not overlap with an adjacent surface that continues at the opposite edge of the air passage opening.

12 . The motor vehicle of claim 11 , wherein the air passage opening has a V-shaped cross-section.

13 . The motor vehicle of claim 11 , wherein the guide surface extends downwardly from a corresponding surface of the air guide body.

14 . The motor vehicle of claim 12 , wherein the air passage opening is configured to overlap the guide surface and the end region.

15 . The motor vehicle of claim 13 , wherein the air passage opening, the guide surface and the end region are arranged in a separate component configured for connection to the fan cowling.
