SYSTEM FOR PREVENTING SNOW ENTERING A VEHICLE'S AIR INTAKE

PendingDE102024137791A1Air intakes for fuelRadiatorsSnow grainsMechanics
A system (100) for preventing snow from entering the air intake of an engine in a vehicle comprises a set of flaps (102 / 104) alternately pivoted on two opposite sides of the air intake duct in an overlapping manner to create a serpentine path (116-2) for incoming air containing snow. This path allows the majority of the airflow to come into contact with the lower heated flaps (104), causing any snow particles present to liquefy and be removed from the air flowing to the engine. The drainage system assists in removing the liquefied fluid through the system. The set of flaps includes upper flaps (102) that are pivoted onto a lower surface of the engine hood (106), and lower flaps (104) that are pivoted onto the reinforcement (108).The lower flaps (104) contain a heating coil (402) to melt the snow particles. The melted snow is drained away via a water drainage arrangement (500).
