In addition, it provides additional structural strength in the event of a vehicle rollover or crash, protecting water tanks and other critical components from damage .
Heat dissipation : The design of the tank upper guards is generally conducive to improving the heat dissipation performance of the vehicle because they help the air flow, thus improving the cooling effect . For example, the upper protection plate of the water tank of Jinghai SAIC Maxus T70 guides the air flow through the diversion effect, which helps to improve the heat dissipation effect and keep the engine at a good working temperature .
aesthetics : the upper protection board of the water tank can improve the beauty of the vehicle, so that the vehicle looks more tidy and unified .
Material selection : There are many options for the material of the water tank top protection board, including plastic steel, manganese steel and aluminum-magnesium alloy. Plastic steel light weight, good toughness; Manganese steel is strong and durable, can withstand large impact; Aluminum magnesium alloy good heat dissipation, light weight .
Installation method : Taking Nissan Jijun as an example, the installation method of the water tank guard plate is to align the vacancy of the guard plate with the vacancy under the water tank and screw .
