Abstract:
An air intake duct (70) of a motorcycle forms an air intake passage (77) for supplying an intake air (I) to a supercharger (42). The air intake duct (70) forms a curve portion and is connected to the supercharger (42). The air intake passage (77) has a transverse cross-section which is shaped such that a dimension (D1) in an orthogonal direction that is orthogonal to a radial direction of the curve portion is gradually reduced from the center of the curve portion toward an outer side, in the radial direction, of the curve portion.
Abstract:
A combustion engine (E) mounted on a motorcycle includes an engine rotary shaft (39) extending in a vehicle widthwise direction and a supercharger (62) disposed rearwardly of a cylinder block (42). The combustion engine (E) also includes an air intake duct (70) through which an incoming wind (A) flowing forwardly of a traveling direction with respect to the combustion engine (E) is introduced into the supercharger (62). The air intake duct (70) is fluid connected with an air intake port of the supercharger (62) after having passed laterally of the combustion engine (E).
Abstract:
A wheel loader (100) is provided with a top plate (81), a plate-like member (17), a diesel particulate filtering device (121), and a first duct (18). The top plate (81) has a first outdoor air intake port (84). The plate-like member (17) is disposed below the first outdoor air intake port (84). The diesel particulate filtering device (121) is disposed below the plate-like member (17) . A first end part (181) of the first duct (18) is positioned to the rear of the diesel particulate filtering device (121). A second end part (182) of the first duct (18) is positioned inside the cooling compartment (3). A connector (1211) is disposed in an air flow generated between a gap (33) and the first end part (181).
Abstract:
In a working vehicle (1), an exhaust gas aftertreatment device is provided in an engine compartment (4) that is adjacent to a cooling fan through which cooling air is supplied to a heat exchanger. The exhaust gas aftertreatment device includes a selective catalytic reduction device in which ammonia obtained from a urea aqueous solution is used as a reduction-causing agent. A urea aqueous solution pipe (47) through which the urea aqueous solution is supplied is laid to the selective catalytic reduction device through the engine compartment (4). In the engine compartment (4), a pipeline-forming member (10) having pipelines (11, 12) in which the urea aqueous solution pipe (47) is installed. The cooling air sucked by a cooling fan flows into the pipelines (11, 12).
Abstract:
A single-cylinder internal combustion engine having a knock sensor mounted thereto can suppress a temperature rise of the knock sensor and at the same time detect knocking with high accuracy. An engine (10) has a cylinder block (12) having a cylinder (15) formed therein, and a cylinder head (13) connected to the cylinder block (12). On a surface of the cylinder block (12) and the cylinder head (13), one or more fins (33) protruding from the surface are provided. On the surface of the cylinder block (12), a sensor mounting boss (40) protruding from the surface and being continuous to a portion of the one or more fins (33) is provided. A knock sensor for detecting knocking is mounted to the sensor mounting boss (40).
Abstract:
To provide an engine having a muffler cooling structure capable of efficiently shielding the muffler cover from the waste heat of a muffler while effectively cooling the muffler by both of forced air cooling and natural air cooling. In an engine (1) including a cooling fan provided at one end of a drive shaft and cools the engine, a muffler (9) is attached such that a longitudinal direction thereof coincide with a direction of gravity, and a muffler accommodating chamber (30) is formed by a muffler cover (2) for covering the muffler (9). A portion of cooling air generated by the cooling fan is introduced into the muffler accommodating chamber (30) so as to cool the muffler. At the muffler accommodating chamber (30), a cooling air outlet (11) is provided at an upper end of a cooling passage (13), such that the waste heat of the muffler (9) is discharged from the cooling air outlet (11) to the outside during the stop of the engine. A cooling air inlet (18) is disposed below the cooling air outlet (11), such that the cooling air flows from the lower side to the upper side of the muffler (9).
