Patent number: 9790837Abstract: A mounting assembly for mounting a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) system within a work vehicle may generally include a support bracket having a first side and a second side. The mounting assembly may also include a mount plate configured to be coupled to the first side of the bracket. The mount plate may include first and second plate walls and may define an elongated slot through the first plate wall. Additionally, the assembly may include a retention band configured to at least partially wrap around a housing of the DOC system between a first end configured to be coupled to the mount plate and a second end configured to be coupled to the second side of the support bracket. The mount plate may be configured to be moved laterally relative to the support bracket to allow the retention band to be tightened and loosened around the housing.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2017Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: William Adamson, Eric Wanstrath, Mark Draeger, Rajeshwar Adupala

Patent number: 9677449Abstract: In one aspect, a system for controlling the temperature of an exhaust reductant used within an exhaust treatment system of a work vehicle may generally include a tank having a plurality of walls defining an enclosed volume for containing the exhaust reductant. The tank may also include a threaded port defined through a first wall of the plurality of walls. The system may also include an electric heating device having a mounting portion and a heating element. The mounting portion may be configured to be screwed into the threaded port to couple to the electric heating device to the tank. In addition, the system may include a controller communicatively coupled to the electric heating device that is configured to control the operation of the electric heating device based on a temperature associated with the tank.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2014Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: William Adamson, Eran Salzman

Patent number: 9222448Abstract: In one aspect, an air intake system for a work vehicle may generally include a fan shroud, a fan disposed within the fan shroud, an intake duct for receiving a portion of the air drawn through a front grille of the work vehicle by the fan and a filter assembly in flow communication with the intake duct. The filter assembly may include a pre-cleaner defining a scavenge port. The system may also include an aspiration conduit coupled to the scavenge port and an aspiration scoop extending between an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet end may be coupled to the aspiration conduit. The aspiration scoop may extend through a portion of the fan shroud such that the outlet end is positioned within the fan shroud at a location upstream of the fan. The outlet end may include an outlet opening defined by at least one curved wall.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Kaushal Ghorpade, Mihai Marinescu, William Adamson, Eran Salzman, Yingjie Tang

Publication number: 20090065072Abstract: There is a water collection apparatus for attachment to a water downpipe (1) from which a section has been deleted to form an upper discharge end (3) spaced above a lower inlet end (4). The apparatus includes a water receptacle (5) with an inflow passage (6) for positioning below the upper discharge end and an overflow passage (7) for connection to the lower inlet end. The inflow and overflow passages (6), (7) are arranged so that in a position of use the receptacle (5) is offset from the downpipe (1). There is at least one connection fitting (14), (15) for an outlet conduit from the receptacle. The inflow passage has a debris segregation screen 9 for separating out debris from incoming water flow.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2007Publication date: March 12, 2009Inventor: William Adamson

Publication number: 20080078525Abstract: A cooling system for a work vehicle is disclosed that includes first and second heat exchangers disposed one above the other to create two discrete flow paths. The upper heat exchanger is an engine water cooler and the lower heat exchanger may be an intercooler, an oil cooler or a refrigerant condenser. The lower heat exchanger is disposed forward of the upper heat exchanger. Additional heat exchangers may be positioned in front of the first and second heat exchangers to provide additional cooling. The first and second heat exchanger may be cross-flow heat exchangers conducting the fluid to be cooled laterally through the core of the heat exchanger.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2007Publication date: April 3, 2008Applicant: CNH AMERICA, LLCInventors: William Adamson, Stephen Balcom, Daniel Morey, Daniel Ruedinger
