Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for cooling assembly configured to control a temperature of a vehicle component relying on cooling from a cooling air stream. In one example the cooling assembly may include a plurality of blades fixed to a surface of a cooling device. The cooling assembly may be bimetallic so that a position of the blades is self-regulatory and automatically adjusted based on heat conduction.
