Air duct and cooling system for vehicle
An air duct for a vehicle may include a front duct formed forward to take in an exterior air in front of the vehicle, a rear duct formed relatively rearward from the front duct such that the exterior air flowing via the front duct passes therein, and a duct outlet flowing out the exterior air flowed via the rear duct, wherein the air duct may be disposed at both sides of an exterior air intake port taking in the exterior air in front of the vehicle into an engine compartment, and wherein both front ducts may be formed to be bent such that extension lines thereof form a streamlined shape in front of the vehicle.
1. A cooling system for a vehicle, comprising:
at least two air ducts formed at respective sides of an exterior air intake port taking in an exterior air in front of the vehicle to an engine compartment, and taking in the exterior air in front of the vehicle to flow the exterior air out toward a wheel;
a first low temperature radiator disposed inside of one of the at least two air ducts and adapted to release heat of a coolant into the air;
a second low temperature radiator disposed inside of the other of the at least two air ducts and adapted to release heat of the coolant into the air;
a turbocharger generating a compressed air to supply the compressed air to an engine; and
an intercooler cooling the compressed air generated from the turbocharger by using coolant flowed via at least one of the first and second low temperature radiators,
wherein coolant flowing via the first and second low temperature radiators heat-exchanges with air passing through the air duct in which the first and second low temperature radiators are respectively disposed,
wherein repeated circulation of coolant which sequentially passes through the first low temperature radiator, the intercooler, and the second low temperature radiator is realized, and
wherein coolant sequentially passing through the first low temperature radiator, the intercooler, and the second low temperature radiator flows via a high temperature radiator which is disposed at the exterior air intake port and is adapted to release heat of coolant for cooling the engine into the air, and heat-exchanges with air passing through the exterior air intake port and coolant for cooling the engine.
2. The cooling system of claim 1 , wherein the intercooler includes a first intercooler and a second intercooler, and repeated circulation of coolant which circulates via the first low temperature radiator and the first intercooler and repeated circulation of coolant which circulates via the second low temperature radiator and the second intercooler are independently realized.
3. The cooling system of claim 2 , further comprising:
a first water pump pumping coolant flowing via the first low temperature radiator to be supplied to the first intercooler to realize the repeated circulation of the coolant which circulates via the first low temperature radiator and the first intercooler; and
a second water pump pumping the coolant flowing via the second low temperature radiator to be supplied to the second intercooler to realize the repeated circulation of coolant which circulates via the second low temperature radiator and the second intercooler.
4. The cooling system of claim 1 , wherein the intercooler includes at least two intercoolers, and the repeated circulation of coolant which sequentially passes through the first low temperature radiator, the at least two intercoolers, and the second low temperature radiator is realized.
5. The cooling system of claim 4 , further comprising a water pump pumping coolant flowing via the first low temperature radiator to be supplied to one of the at least two intercoolers to realize the repeated circulation of coolant which passes through the first low temperature radiator, the at least two intercoolers, and the second low temperature radiator.
6. The cooling system of claim 5 , wherein coolant sequentially passing through the first low temperature radiator, the at least two intercoolers, and the second low temperature radiator flows via a high temperature radiator which is disposed at the exterior air intake port and is adapted to release heat of coolant for cooling the engine into the air, and heat-exchanges with air passing through the exterior air intake port and coolant for cooling the engine.
7. A cooling system for a vehicle, comprising:
at least two air ducts formed at respective sides of an exterior air intake port taking in an exterior air in front of the vehicle to an engine compartment, and taking in the exterior air in front of the vehicle to flow out the exterior air toward a wheel;
a low temperature radiator disposed inside of one of the at least two air ducts and adapted to release heat of coolant into the air;
an oil cooler disposed inside of the other one of the at least two air ducts and adapted such that engine oil is cooled by passing therethrough;
a turbocharger generating compressed air to supply the compressed air to the engine; and
an intercooler cooling the compressed air generated from the turbocharger by using coolant flowing via the low temperature radiator,
wherein coolant, which flows via the low temperature radiator, heat-exchanges with air passing through the one air duct in which the low temperature radiator is disposed, and oil, which flows via the oil cooler, heat-exchanges with air passing through the other air duct in which the oil cooler is disposed.
8. The cooling system of claim 7 , wherein a repeated circulation of coolant which flows via the low temperature radiator and the intercooler is realized.
9. The cooling system of claim 8 , wherein further comprising a water pump pumping coolant flowed via the low temperature radiator to be supplied to the intercooler to realize the repeated circulation of coolant which flows via the low temperature radiator and the intercooler.
