Industrial vehicle

An engine exhaust system is accommodated in a counterweight portion without reducing either the efficiency of cooling by a radiator or the efficiency of purifying exhaust gas by an exhaust gas purification device. A body has a work device provided at the front and the counterweight portion at the rear. A ventilation path provided in the counterweight portion includes an elevated part formed between a bottom of a front portion and a bottom of a rear portion. The purification device and a muffler are disposed in the rear portion of the ventilation path so as to be positioned one above the other with the purification device lying above the muffler and having an upper portion protruding above the bottom of the front portion of the ventilation path. A windbreak plate made from a heat insulating material is disposed forward from the purification device so as to face the latter.

Combined engine systems
10934949 · 2021-03-02 · ·

A combined engine system is disclosed which may help to meet electrical power demand of a common load that can vary in an unpredictable manner. The system comprises at least one primary engine and one or more secondary engines. An after-treatment system is connected to the engines to receive exhaust flow from each of the engines. A controller is configured to operate the system in a first operating mode when only the primary engine is running and a second operating mode when the secondary engines are run together with the primary engine. Exhaust flows from each of the engines are passed through the after-treatment system which allows the after-treatment system to be heated by the exhaust flow of the primary engine before receiving exhaust flows from the secondary engines.

AUTONOMOUS AUXILIARY DEF SUPPLY SYSTEM WITH PURGE CONTROL
20210033017 · 2021-02-04 · ·

An auxiliary system with purge control automatically supplies diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) to an onboard DEF tank of a diesel engine to enable prolonged unattended operation. The system includes an auxiliary DEF tank, an auxiliary DEF supply line, a controller, a pump, an air inlet, and a three-way valve configured to switch the pump inlet between the auxiliary DEF tank and air. In response to low-level DEF, the pump delivers DEF through the supply line to replenish the onboard DEF tank. The controller may automatically calculate onboard DEF tank volume based on the delivered volume of DEF, and DEF level data received from an ECM, to enable replenishment control regardless of engine make and model. In response to high-level DEF, engine stoppage, or other system fault, the controller switches the valve to air and runs the pump for a predetermined time to purge DEF from the supply line. The auxiliary system may be skid-mounted, portable, and configured to supply DEF to multiple diesel engines.
