Cold air intakes – style that inspires
A modern car is a nice streamlined product. Only rarely does a component jut out and affect the aerodynamics. Therefore when you spot an air intake mounted on the car’s hood you must wonder what important reason can there be to have a component jut out like that. In fact the air intake scoop on the hood is placed in such a situation where very fast airflow is likely to be encountered. And so the jutting out part is likely to significantly stop the smooth air flow past the car as it moves forward at speed. And yet hood scoops which are a part of the air intake look stylish and nice. And people put them there willingly, even those who are concerned only with the performance and not with the style.
So what is this great purpose that is served that justifies such a placement of the air intake? Well there is one. A cold air intake helps improve the fuel efficiency of your car and in doing so it improves the amount of power the engine generates and also the mileage you get from your car. And the way it does this is the reason why the air intake scoop is placed where there is a lot of air flow and is also very close to the engine. This cold air that is captured is taken directly to the engine without giving it an opportunity to heat up as it makes its way to the combustion chamber. And since the air stays cold it is more dense and so more can fit into the relatively small volume of the combustion chamber. This means there is more oxygen available for the fuel to burn and the burning is more efficient.
