ABSTRACT:
A method of regulating the engine compartment temperature by opening shutters and operating blower(s) and radiator cooling fan to provide air flow through the compartment to maintain a minimum temperature. The enclosed engine compartment provides for rapid heat up of engine and the crankcase, supplies heated inducted air into the engine and aerodynamically shapes the forward of the engine enclosure. A sloped shroud at the front of the engine compartment also enhances the cooling efficiency of the radiator.
