Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a system for controlling an air flow rate into a vehicle engine room. The system includes: an air intake port receiving an exterior air at a front portion of the vehicle and supplying the air into the engine room; air ducts formed at both sides of the air intake port and introduce the exterior air into a wheel side in order to improve aerodynamic characteristic; a control valve configured to selectively convey the air flowed in the air intake port into the air ducts; a radiator disposed between the air intake port and the engine room; and a control portion configured to control the control valve based on an operating state of vehicle. The air ducts are selectively communicated with the air intake port and disposed at upstream of the radiator.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority and benefit from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2016-0038501 filed on March 30, 2016, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a system for controlling the flow rate of air entering an engine room of a vehicle and a control method thereof to improve the cooling performance and aerodynamic performance of the vehicle. Background technique [0004] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art. [0005] Generally, a radiator for cooling an engine and a condenser for condensing refrigerant in an air conditioner are installed in a vehicle, and the temperatures of the radiator and the condenser are lowered by operating a cooling fan. It is advantageous in that when the vehicle starts to start, the temperature of the en...
