I think you will find that in most cases, and I mean most cases, the
air has an impossibility to escape. The interior design for the motor
compartment has the motor mounted at its normal but highest
configuration possible, right up[ next to a flat fire wall. I have seen
baffles and air deflectors and air jams to the carburetor to force new
air into the crab, but very little design to rid the compartment of the
air. The fan of course overly provides air to the compartment actually
forcing air put of there through the radiator when it is called upon to
do so by strictly water temperature in the engine. Some of us have
added the vents on the side which offers little to no help as vents for
ovary hot air to escape, But even this is better than nothing and I
supposed a little air escaping is good, they look nice but that is
about it. Thermodynamically speaking hot air is very hard to move
accept up. Strictly speaking now what would happen if the design were
to include a metal deflector built on the floor piece say half way up or
down to the exhaust manifolds with several holes in it like a banner has
to allow air to continue to flow through. In these holes curved
downward or upward I don't think it makes any difference what we are
trying to do is cause the air to swirl and in so doing be removed from
the engine compartment. Please remember we are speaking of removing air
that has been forced into a compartment and for two reasons wants to
stay there. Firstly hot air compresses and does not want to go anywhere
and secondly there is no where for it to go. The velocity of the
vehicle keeps the air beneath the engine in a vortex tip trap forcing it
to go straight across the bottom . Speed keeps it there and of course
in certain conditions the FAN comes on to overly compress the air in the
engine compartment breaking the thermodynamically box and forcing the
air out down and into the air stream beneath the motor. Now if we could
do this all the time I think the air would be able to remove itself on a
continual basis.. The strip of metal on the floor of the engine
compartment door would be small in size but just enough to break up the
air. Maybe a one inch 90 degree corner piece of aluminum would work.
I would like to propose this. I am not a good metal worker nor much of
a mechanic but I do like to think and solve problems as I did for so
many years. Thanks chuck Feed back is greatly appreciated.
