Abstract: Systems and apparatuses include a hood for a machine including a noise inhibitor housing inhibiting transmission of noise in a horizontal plane from the machine, and a noise diffusive panel supported by the noise inhibitor housing and structured to release noise upward.

Abstract: A system for cleaning an air intake screen of a work vehicle may include an engine air intake assembly having an air intake screen through which an airflow is directed for subsequent delivery to an engine of a work vehicle. The system may further include a nozzle provided in operative association with the engine air intake assembly and directed towards the air intake screen. Additionally, the system may include a pressurized fluid source configured to supply pressurized fluid to the nozzle. The pressurized fluid received by the nozzle is expelled from the nozzle and directed through the air intake screen.

Abstract: A self-cooling system includes at least one rotating component and a housing configured to enclose the at least one rotating component. The housing includes at least one inlet bore and at least one exhaust bore. The at least one exhaust bore is disposed radially outward from a radial position of the at least one inlet bore with respect to an axis of rotation of the at least one rotating. The at least one inlet bore and the at least one exhaust bore are positioned to establish a pressure differential configured to circulate a fluid into the at least one inlet bore, through the housing, and out the at least one exhaust bore. The system does not have any feature in addition to the at least one rotating component configured to drive the fluid into the at least one inlet bore, through the housing, and out the at least one exhaust bore.

Abstract: A fluid tank that includes a housing. The housing includes a bottom wall, a top wall, and a side wall. The side wall couples the bottom wall to the top wall to define a cavity that receives and houses a liquid. A conduit guides liquid from a fluid source into the cavity. The conduit defines an inlet and an outlet. The outlet couples to the side wall. A vent coupled to the housing and to the conduit. The vent defines a vent inlet coupled to the housing and a vent outlet coupled to the conduit. The vent discharges gas from the housing into the conduit.

Abstract: A fluid tank thaw system that includes a fluid tank that receives a first fluid. A heating element within the fluid tank that heats the first fluid. A magnetic stir system that stirs the first fluid within the fluid tank to increase a thaw rate of the first fluid. The magnetic stir system includes a magnetic stirrer within the fluid tank. The magnetic stirrer rotates within the fluid tank to agitate the first fluid. An electric coil changes polarity to rotate the magnetic stirrer.

Abstract: A system for cleaning a grille of a work vehicle may include a grille defining an inner side facing towards an interior portion of a work vehicle and an outer side facing towards an exterior of the work vehicle. The system may further include a plurality of nozzles fixed relative to the grille and being directed towards the inner side of the grille. Additionally, the system may include a pressurized fluid source configured to supply pressurized fluid to the plurality of nozzles. The pressurized fluid received by the plurality of nozzles is expelled from the plurality of nozzles and directed through the grille.

Abstract: A system for controlling an airflow supplied to a cabin of a work vehicle may include a housing defining a mixing chamber and a recirculating chamber isolated from the mixing chamber. The mixing chamber is configured to receive fresh air via a fresh air inlet and recirculated air via a first recirculated air inlet, with the fresh air being mixed with the recirculated air within the mixing chamber to create a fresh/recirculated air mixture that is supplied through a mixed air outlet. The recirculating chamber is configured to receive recirculated air via a second recirculated air inlet and supply the recirculated air through a recirculated air outlet. Additionally, the system may include a gate movable relative to the first recirculated air inlet to adjust an amount of recirculated air supplied to the mixing chamber, and an actuator configured to actuate the gate relative to the first recirculated air inlet.

Abstract: An inductor assembly is configured to be attached in flow communication to receive a flow of product from a storage hopper of a product conveyance system. The product conveyance system includes a forced fluid source mounted thereon and operable to provide a forced fluid stream to the inductor assembly. The inductor housing includes an inlet configured to direct a first portion of the forced fluid stream in a path to engage the flow of product so as to generate the combined stream of forced fluid and product. The inductor assembly further includes multiple inductor segments, wherein each inductor segments defines at least one conduit having an inlet and an outlet. One or more of the inlets may be configured to restrict air and product flow therethrough.
