Does Installing an Engine Guard Plate Affect Heat Dissipation in Cars?

[IrisMarie]

Engine guard plates do have an impact on vehicle heat dissipation, but the effect is minimal. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. The heat dissipation performance of an engine is primarily reflected in the front grille, engine compartment design, water pipes, and radiator design, with only a small portion dissipating through the chassis. 2. Engine guard plates are custom-designed protective devices for various vehicle models. Their primary purpose is to prevent mud from encasing the engine, which could lead to poor heat dissipation, and secondly to protect the engine from damage caused by impacts from uneven road surfaces during driving. Through these designs, they aim to extend the engine's service life and avoid vehicle breakdowns due to external factors causing engine damage during travel.
