Will automobile chassis protection affect engine heat dissipation?

Will installing chassis armor affect heat dissipation? After all, the hot weather continues to bake cars. Today, Bian Xiao will tell you in detail whether installing chassis armor will affect heat dissipation and how to choose chassis protection.

Let me talk about the classification of chassis protection first. At present, the most common are engine guards and chassis armor. Automobile chassis armor and engine fender are two different things, which may be confused by some novice friends. The protective plate of the engine is like a shield, installed at the bottom of the engine room, which can resist the damage of stones and various foreign objects and effectively prevent the bottom of the car from being damaged due to cracking. Moreover, the engine guard is not a simple iron shell. The current fender improves the airflow and will not affect the engine heat dissipation. But not all cars are suitable for installation, and some cars will have abnormal noise after installation. It is recommended to dismantle it immediately to avoid accidents during driving.

Chassis armor sounds similar to engine fender, but it is actually a highly viscous rubber asphalt coating. Sprayed on the car floor, it condenses into a hard solid after drying, which has good anti-mud, anti-rust, anti-corrosion and sound insulation and noise reduction effects. Now some high-profile cars are equipped with chassis armor when they leave the factory. Chassis armor and engine fender have different functions. For ordinary family cars, they basically run in urban areas, and the road conditions are good. In fact, adding a chassis armor is enough. If you use the car in bad road conditions, it is still recommended to install the engine protection board. If you use a car in coastal areas or the local area is humid, you can install chassis armor, which can effectively protect the engine chassis.

The materials of chassis armor are generally divided into three types: asphalt, oily resin paint and water-soluble composite polymer resin paint. Bian Xiao suggested that you choose water-soluble composite polymer resin paint, because asphalt and oily chassis armor are cheap, but they will release toxic gas at high temperature, which is harmful to human body. Water-soluble composite polymer resin paint has better antirust effect, no toxicity, and the price is almost the same, just two or three hundred.

Engine guards mainly include composite materials, titanium alloys and steel. For most road conditions, it is enough to install a composite lower guard plate, which is both cheap and tough. As for steel and titanium alloys, they can adapt to harsh terrain, but the prices are relatively much more expensive. If you don't often run on mountain roads and gravel roads, it is still not recommended to install rigid or titanium alloy engine guards.

Summary: The above are the advantages and disadvantages of engine fenders and chassis armor listed in Bian Xiao. When the road conditions are good, just spray anti-rust sand on the chassis armor. If you often drive in bad road conditions, you can install a composite lower guard plate without affecting the heat dissipation of the engine. Finally, any questions about cars.
