Abstract:
Motor vehicle comprising a passenger compartment (12), a front compartment (14), which is arranged in the front of the passenger compartment (12), and a heat exchanger unit (16), comprising an engine cooling radiator arranged in the area separating the passenger compartment (12) from the front compartment (14). The motor vehicle comprises a manifold for conveying a flow of air (22), with an air flow inlet section (28) arranged in the front part of the motor vehicle and an air flow outlet section (30) arranged in the rear part of the front compartment (14), in correspondence to said heat exchanger unit (16).
Abstract:
A cooling unit is provided for use with a cooling system of an internal combustion engine. The cooling system includes an air-cooled radiator to reject heat from a coolant of the internal combustion engine. The cooling unit comprises an air-cooled heat exchanger to reject heat from another medium to an air flow, an air receiver and at least one releasable clamp. The heat exchanger includes an inlet for the air flow, an outlet for the air flow, and an outer perimeter extending between the inlet and the outlet. The air receiver is connectable to the radiator and surrounds the outer perimeter of the heat exchanger. The air receiver includes an inlet end for the air flow, an outlet end for the air flow, and an air duct extending between the inlet end and the outlet end to direct the air flow from the outlet of the heat exchanger to the outlet end of the air receiver. The inlet end and the inlet are substantially coplanar. The clamp is engaged with the air receiver to tighten the air receiver against the heat exchanger.

Abstract:
Separation of, or damage to, the inlet duct and outlet duct connected to a belt-type variable transmission is reduced, and durability of the belt-type variable transmission is improved, by preventing induction of foreign matter such as water, mud, sand or dust into the inlet duct. An induction box is provided between a front cover and a front upper part of a vehicle frame that extends above the front wheel axle shaft, and this induction box is fixed to a side of the vehicle frame. A cooling air induction port is provided in an upper face of the induction box adjacent to the bottom face of the front cover. A duct linkage port in the bottom face of the induction box and an air induction port of the belt-type variable transmission are connected by an inlet duct. A positioning element in the form of a fitting hook is formed unitarily and in one piece with the inlet duct on a middle portion of the inlet duct so that the positioning element positions the middle portion of the inlet duct with respect to structural members of the vehicle frame.
Abstract:
A radiator mounting structure which has a front grill located in front of a radiator and provided with a projection extending toward the radiator. When a hood collides with an obstacle M and is deformed, the deformation causes the front grill to move rearward whereby the radiator is urged rearward of a vehicle body to tilt in the same direction. Thus, the hood is sufficiently deformable to thereby sufficiently alleviate an impact shock to be applied to the obstacle within a limited space.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a road roller (10) comprising a chassis frame (22), an encapsulated engine (15) and a radiator (34) through which cooling air flows. For a supply of fresh cooling air free of dust a hood (16) covering the engine (15) and a separate housing (17) accommodating the radiator (34) are provided. The hood (16) comprises an air intake (24) as well as air outlet openings (35) and is air communicatingly connected to the housing (17).
Abstract:
Removal of heat energy from a compartment containing a heat engine is effected by drawing air in from the compartment through at least one opening made in a duct which passes through the compartment and in which air, entering from one face of the compartment and opening to the outside to a reduced-pressure zone, flows.
Abstract:
A material-handling vehicle including a structure having, a ground engageable propulsion arrangement, a loader arm mounted for up and down swinging movement, an operator's cab, an engine having an output to provide power for the movement of the loader arm and propulsion of the vehicle and drive to connect the output to the ground engageable propulsion arrangement to propel the vehicle. The vehicle has a rear axle and the engine is mounted on the structure rearwardly of the rear axle. The output of the engine is kinematically connected over the rear axle to an input of a change speed gearbox an output of which is kinematically connected to the ground engageable propulsion arrangement. The output of the engine is kinematically connected to an input of a transfer mechanism which has an output, disposed higher than the input, which is kinematically connected to the input of the gearbox.
Abstract:
An air intake structure in a construction machine, comprising a radiator chamber, a radiator ventilating hole formed in an upper position of the radiator chamber, an air cleaner chamber formed in close proximity to the radiator chamber, an air cleaner ventilating hole formed in the ceiling surface of the air cleaner chamber, an intake duct disposed below the air cleaner ventilating hole and communicating with the radiator chamber, and an air cleaner disposed in close proximity to the ceiling surface of the air cleaner chamber at a position close to the intake duct. According to this air intake structure, not only the engine cooling efficiency can be enhanced to a satisfactory extent, but also a lower space in the air cleaner chamber can be fully utilized effectively.
