Abstract
A perforated hood with air scoop establishing an ambient air flow to be directed to the coolant heat exchanger of a vehicle. The perforated hood with an air scoop includes a duct and baffle assembly which thermally isolates the ambient air from the heat of the engine to prevent a rise of temperature of the air flow for attaining greater cooling efficiency of the heat exchanger.
