IT Home May 20 news, in the eyes of many car enthusiasts, air-cooled Porsches have always been classic cars of great collection value. Porsche continued to produce the air-cooled 911 until 1998, after which the 993 generation ceased production and the water-cooled 996 generation officially took over.

According to foreign media Motor1's report tonight, Porsche's latest patent revealsa new generation air cooling system, which is expected to bring traditional air-cooled technology back to modern high-performance models.

According to the patent description, Porsche plansto encapsulate the entire engine inside a nearly fully enclosed casing, and then use directional airflow for heat dissipation. The airflow not only cools the engine, but also simultaneously cools the radiator, turbocharger and exhaust system, finally discharging uniformly from the rear of the vehicle. At the same time, large cooling fins will be added to the exterior of the casing, on one hand to improve heat dissipation efficiency, and on the other hand to retain the mechanical style of classic air-cooled Porsches.

IThome(IT之家) learned from the report that Porsche's main purpose for this design is to minimize the number of radiators, thereby reducing space occupation and piping structure , while also reducing the front air resistance of the vehicle. In addition, a fan will be added at the rear of the system to extract hot air from the enclosed engine compartment.
