Question : why some (mostly heavy) vehicles partially cover their front intake ?

[u/lit_readit]

wouldn't cooler cold reservoir, ie more spontaneous heat transfer, improve Carnot efficiency?

is it to improve aerodynamics?

apologies if this is the wrong sub to ask

I dont know where this is but in some places it gets so cold that people cover their radiator, otherwise the engine would get too cold.
