Abstract: A work vehicle including a body, a cooling system with one or more coolers, and a fan disposed adjacent to the coolers. A louver system is disposed adjacently to an inlet of the vehicle body. The louver system includes a first actuator operatively connected to a first plurality of slats and a second actuator operatively connected to a second plurality of slats. A first sensor operatively connected to a first cooler is configured to identify a first temperature of the first cooler and to generate a signal responsive to the identified first temperature. A second sensor operatively connected to a second cooler is configured to identify a second temperature of the second cooler and to generate a signal responsive to the identified second temperature. A position of the first plurality and second plurality of slats is determined respectively by the first and second temperatures.

Abstract: Cooling and debris mitigation systems for use with work vehicle powertrains include a pressurized air source, a plurality of impingement outlets positioned proximate the work vehicle powertrain, and a flow network fluidly coupling the pressurized air source to the impingement outlets. A first vortex tube is positioned in the flow network and configured to separate pressurized airflow received from the pressurized air source into a hot stream and a reduced temperature stream. The first vortex tube includes a vortex tube inlet fluidly coupled to the pressurized air source, an exhaust port through which the hot stream is discharged, and a nozzle through which the reduced temperature stream is discharged. The reduced temperature stream impinges upon at least one of the targeted exterior regions of the work vehicle powertrain to provide cooling thereto and reduce debris accumulation thereon.
