Abstract
The application relates to an apparatus for discharging hot air generated by an internal combustion engine from the engine compartment of motor vehicles, particularly private motor cars or estate cars, which include front quarter panels extending along the sides of the engine compartment and inner fenders providing front wheel wells. In order to develop an arrangement of this kind so that it will have the simplest possible, weight-saving construction and so that air outlet apertures can be concealed, the present invention discloses that in the region of the engine compartment, air inlets are provided leading into a cavity formed by the arcuate wheel well panel, the front quarter panel, and the wheel well roof panel. Further, this cavity is in communication with air outlets lying in the region of a front vertical door gap and disposed substantially in a transverse plane of the vehicle.
