Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2502963A] An airflow control system for controlling heat transfer in a motor vehicle. The airflow control system has an inlet (21, Figure 3) and an outlet (31, Figure 1B). A heat transfer chamber 29 is provided in fluid communication with the inlet (21) and the outlet (31). A flow control element 7 is provided proximal the outlet (31) for controlling the flow of air from the heat transfer chamber 29 through the outlet (31). The flow control element may establish a region of low pressure proximal to the outlet (31). The flow control element 7 may travel away from or rotate relative to the outlet (31) to open the outlet (31). The flow control element 7 is optionally a vehicle spoiler and may produce a downward aerodynamic force. A controller for controlling actuation of a flow control element 7 is also disclosed.
