Does the 2017 Bora have a heat shield?
1 Answers
17 Bora has a heat shield, which is generally installed on the chassis, specifically adding a layer of heat-dissipating material to the exhaust pipe underneath the car to achieve heat insulation. It is essential to install a heat shield for the car's exhaust pipe because the temperature of the exhaust pipe is very high, especially after prolonged high-speed driving, which can potentially bake the area beneath the seats. Below is some relevant information about heat shields: 1. The primary material of the initial heat shields was aluminum. With technological advancements, a new type of heat shield made from magnesium silicate cement material has gained attention. This type of heat shield, commonly known as Junyi heat shield, uses magnesium oxide as its main raw material, is non-toxic and radiation-free, has strong heat insulation capabilities, and is sealed with plastic alloy on the outer layer, providing additional functions such as waterproofing, fireproofing, and corrosion resistance. This heat shield has a thermal conductivity as low as 0.169W/m.k, a fire resistance rating up to non-combustible material B1 level, a transverse bending resistance of 3754N/m, and a longitudinal bending resistance of 399N, making it an ideal new type of building material. 2. The heat shield material is made using a high-quality ceramic fiber cotton vacuum forming process, offering rigidity and strength at high temperatures, low thermal shrinkage, high insulation, lightweight, and impact resistance. It meets the high-temperature insulation requirements of specific production processes in certain industrial sectors.
