  • Patent number: 6609484
    Abstract: An engine cooling system for a work machine or the like having an engine with a turbocharger and an aftercooler. A separate circuit aftercooler cooling circuit is provided. A radiator assembly includes a first group of radiator cores and a second group of radiator cores. Some coolant cooled in the first group of radiator cores is passed from the radiator assembly to an engine cooling circuit. Another portion of coolant cooled in the first group of radiator cores is passed to the second group of radiator cores, for additional cooling thereof. From the second group of radiator cores, coolant is passed to the separate circuit aftercooler cooling circuit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6318347
    Abstract: An air-to-air aftercooler or heat exchanger for a vehicular internal combustion engine, which is independent of the main vehicle heat exchanger or radiator, and which is located at a position upon the vehicle which is remote from the main vehicle heat exchanger or radiator, has a filter for filtering ambient air; at least one aftercooler heat exchanger, separate from the main radiator heat exchanger and disposed upon the engine at a location remote from the main radiator heat exchanger, and having a first passageway defined therein which is fluidically connected to the filter for receiving the ambient air which has passed through the filter; a second passageway defined within the at least one aftercooler heat exchanger for receiving turbocharged air from the turbocharger, for conducting the turbocharged air through the at least one aftercooler heat exchanger such that the turbocharged air undergoes a heat exchange process with the ambient air, and for conducting the turbocharged air to the engine intake manif

  • Patent number: 5180003
    Abstract: Cooling systems are necessary to cool fluid circulated through an internal combustion engine so that engine temperatures can be controlled. The subject dual fan cooling system increases the air flow through a heat exchanger (40) by utilizing a primary fan and a secondary fan (50, 82). The primary fan (50) is located on one side of the heat exchanger (40) and pushes air through the heat exchanger (40) while the secondary fan (82) is located on the opposite side of the heat exchanger (40) and pulls air through the heat exchanger (40). The secondary fan (82) is rotatably mounted in a substantially concentric relation with the primary fan (50) to pull air through the heat exchanger (40) at the area (L) of lowest air flow. The secondary fan (82) also substantially eliminates the recirculation of air back through the heat exchanger (40). A shroud (86) encompasses the secondary fan (82) to substantially block air pushed through the heat exchanger (40) by the primary fan (50) from the secondary fan (82).
