  • Patent number: 11143086
    Abstract: A work vehicle has an internal combustion engine that is disposed in an engine bay, an operator space that is disposed above the engine bay, and a cooling-air installation. The air cooling installation has a cooling-air inlet, a cooling-air outlet, a cooling-air blower, as well as a cooler that in the flow path of the cooling air through the engine bay is disposed between the cooling-air inlet and the cooling-air outlet. In terms of a direction of primary travel of the work vehicle, the cooling-air inlet of the engine bay is provided on a first (lateral) vehicle side and/or vehicle lower side, and the cooling-air outlet of the engine bay is provided on a vehicle front side The cooling-air outlet has a cooling-air deflection installation which is configured such that exiting cooling air is guided in the direction of a second (lateral) vehicle side.

  • Publication number: 20190106094
    Abstract: A braking system for a vehicle includes two meterable metering brake circuits and a non-meterable parking brake circuit. Each of the two metering brake circuits has a metering brake device which is assignable to a wheel of the vehicle. The two metering brake circuits have a common metering operating device, with which the two metering brake devices are operable simultaneously. The metering operating device has a tandem brake cylinder, with two chambers which are each part of one of the metering brake circuits. The parking brake circuit has two parking brake devices, which are each assignable to a respective wheel of the vehicle. The parking brake circuit has a parking operating device with which the two parking brake devices are operable simultaneously.
