The air shroud on top of the cab of the Model C motorhome. Its main function is to effectively reduce air resistance and fuel consumption when the vehicle is running at high speed.
The necessity of installing the shroud
As we all know, the body of the RV is higher than the cab, and there is a height difference and a certain gap, which makes the shape of the vehicle discontinuous and the flow line poor. When the RV is running at high speed, when the airflow above the cab touches the upper part of the front of the car, the air resistance coefficient value increases accordingly. If a shroud is installed on the cab to make a streamlined transition between the cab and the car body, so as to guide the airflow flowing through the upper part of the cab to “connect” with the surface of the car body, thereby reducing the air resistance coefficient, so the C RV It is even more necessary to install the shroud.
Advantages of Fiberglass Shrouds
The current new type of shroud is made of high-quality thin steel plate, aluminum alloy plate, or hot-pressed with glass-reinforced polyester fiber. Compared to the first two materials, thermoplastic fiberglass sheets have several advantages:
- It is lighter and reduces the weight of the vehicle.
- More sturdy and not easy to deform.
- The shape is diversified, and you can customize your own personalized shroud according to the mold.
- Lower cost, simpler glass fiber sheet processing, and higher production efficiency.
