  • Air deflector for truck with refrigeration unit
    Patent number: 6422034
    Abstract: An aerodynamic shaped deflector is attached to the roof of a truck cab for reducing drag between the cab and the larger rearward cargo body. The deflector has a front wall with an internal air scoop for channeling air to a refrigeration unit attached to the front wall of the cargo body. The scoop channels air to the refrigeration unit through an opening and grill at the rear of the scoop. The deflector may have an opening in a top wall thereof to permit escape of hot air from the refrigeration unit to the ambient atmosphere. The scoop and its grill at the rear thereof with openings are dimensioned to pass sufficient air required by the refrigeration unit heat exchange coils.
