Automobile provided with front air entry supplying cooling air flow for engine exhaust gas manifold divided into higher level and lower level entry regions

摘要

The automobile has an engine compartment at the front, containing an IC engine coupled to an exhaust gas manifold (8), with a front air entry supplying a cooling air flow for the exhaust gas manifold, divided into an air entry region (FH) at a higher level and an air entry region (FT) at a lower level. The air entry region at a higher level can be blocked as required, e.g. via a movable blocking device (9). An independent claim for a method for adjusting the cooling air flow for the exhaust gas manifold of an automobile is also included.
