  • Identification and reduction of backflow suction in cooling systems
    Patent number: 11674432
    Abstract: A cooling assembly configured to reduce backflow suction in a mobile platform including a prime mover, at least one heat exchanger fluidly connected to the prime mover, a blower upstream of the at least one heat exchanger configured to generate a current of cooling air to cool the at least one heat exchanger, and a backflow suction reduction member positioned downstream of the blower and upstream of the at least one heat exchanger, the backflow suction reduction member defining an internal channel including a first opening at one end, a second opening at a second end, and at least one third opening positioned between the first and second ends. The backflow suction reduction member is configured to receive airflow through the first and second openings and discharge the airflow through the at least one third opening in a region where air is backflowing from the at least one heat exchanger.
