Abstract

An air flow circulation structure for a vehicle includes a front shutter that opens or closes an outside air intake port, a fan and a duct member. The fan is configured to cause air to flow in a direction oriented from the outside air intake port through a heat exchanger toward an engine compartment when the front shutter is in an open state, and to cause the air to flow in a direction oriented from the engine compartment through the heat exchanger toward the outside air intake port when the front shutter is in a closed state. The duct member is configured to guide the air that is changed in direction by blowing from the fan and colliding with the front shutter to a heat source of the vehicle, when the front shutter is in the closed state.
