  • Patent number: 8256551
    Abstract: A self-propelled, low-emission vehicle includes an internal combustion engine, a vehicle cooling assembly, and an engine exhaust assembly disposed within an engine compartment. The vehicle cooling assembly includes an enclosure and a powered fan to vent the enclosure by drawing a stream of cooling air therethrough. The engine exhaust assembly carries exhaust gas through exhaust lines from the engine, which is disposed outside of the enclosure, through an exhaust treatment device, which is disposed inside of the enclosure, and out to the environment. A fan shroud assembly defines an outlet margin of the enclosure and includes a shroud body defining a pair of passageways through which the exhaust lines pass. The fan shroud assembly includes an insulated connection assembly disposed adjacent each passageway to provide sealing connection between the respective exhaust line and the shroud body while prohibiting direct contact between the respective exhaust line and the shroud body.

  • Patent number: 8167067
    Abstract: A self-propelled low-emission off-road vehicle has an internal combustion engine supported in an engine compartment and also includes a vehicle cooling assembly and an engine exhaust treatment device positioned in the compartment. The vehicle cooling assembly includes a powered fan and an enclosure with a heat exchanger operable to discharge heat produced by the vehicle. The enclosure presents an inlet, outlet, and air flow plenum, with the fan directing air flow along a path between the inlet and outlet. The exhaust treatment device is operable to treat engine exhaust flow. The exhaust treatment device is positioned at least partly in the air flow plenum and in the path between the inlet and outlet.
