Abstract
In order to improve the durability of components in the vehicle engine room, an experiment to improve the air cooling effect of components by installing a cooling duct using intake air aiming at four components, such as generator, battery, ECU and power steel oil, Respectively, experimental results show that the overall component temperature has been reduced, and the reduced temperature difference is in the order of generator, ECU, power steel oil and battery. In order to improve the temperature difference due to these components, it is necessary to optimize the design through the flow analysis in the duct in the future.
