Protective device for heat emitting structures

摘要

A protective device is provided for heat emitting structures including but not limited to exhaust manifolds for internal combustion engines. A protective device comprises a double-wall protective screen consisting of two metal sheets which are spaced apart and substantially parallel. The space between the metal sheets is bridged over to support these sheets against each other. The sheets are sealingly connected along their edges so that they enclose between the support points at least one coolant space connected to at least one coolant connection arranged on the edge of the protective screen.
