An air flow apparatus and method are provided. The apparatus includes a shroud having a first end for connection to a cooling package, and a second end for connection to a fan ring. The fan ring of the apparatus is configured to mount directly to an engine block and surround a fan of the engine block. The apparatus also includes a duct positioned below the shroud and fan ring. The duct has a first opening that opens to an engine compartment, and a second opening that opens to ambient. A flow path extends between the first and second openings and is arranged to route heated air in proximity to the shroud and fan ring to ambient.
