Motor vehicle engine compartment has heat shield dividing compartment into two sub-regions one above the other and substantially thermally separated from each other with hot components on one side and heat sensitive parts on the other

摘要

The engine compartment (1) contains an internal combustion engine (3) and parts of the exhaust system (2) and at least one heat shield (4,10) for protecting at least one heat sensitive component (5,11) in the engine compartment against hot components. The heat shield divides the compartment into two sub-regions one above the other and substantially thermally separated from each other with hot components on one side and heat sensitive parts on the other.
