Method for cleaning cooling system of a work machine and system thereof
A control system for controlling a work machine includes an engine for producing power to propel the work machine during a normal operating mode, a cooling system for cooling at least the engine during the normal operating mode, and a controller for controlling the cleaning system during the normal operating mode and a clean operating mode. During the normal operating mode, the engine is running and the controller operably controls a cooling fan of the cooling system to rotate in a first rotational direction to produce a first air flow in a first direction. During the clean operating mode, the engine is not running and the controller operably controls the cooling fan to rotate in a second rotational direction to produce a second air flow in a second direction. The first rotational direction is opposite the second rotational direction, and the first direction is opposite the second direction.
Electronic filter detection feature for liquid filtration systems
A filter monitor system (“FMS”) module is installed on the engine/vehicle and is connected to the filter systems, sensors and devices to monitor various performance parameters. The module also connects to the engine control module (“ECM”) and draws parameters from the ECM. The FMS module is capable of interfacing with various output devices such as a smartphone application, a display monitor, an OEM telematics system or a service technician's tool on a computer. The FMS module consists of hardware and software algorithms which constantly monitor filter systems and provide information to the end-user. FMS module provides necessary inputs and outputs for electronic sensors and devices.

FILTER CARTRIDGE WITH VALVE ACTIVATION FEATURE
A filter assembly includes a housing defining unfiltered and filtered cavities, a coolant inlet, and a coolant outlet. The filter assembly further includes a stop valve movable between a stop valve closed position and a stop valve open position and an anti-drain valve movable between an anti-drain valve closed position and an anti-drain valve open position. The coolant inlet is in fluid communication with the unfiltered cavity when the stop valve body is in the stop valve open position. The coolant outlet is in fluid communication with the filtered cavity when the anti-drain valve body is in the anti-drain valve open position. A filter cartridge includes a bottom endplate having a rib with a rib end face engaging with the stop valve to move the stop valve body from the stop valve closed position to the stop valve open position when the filter cartridge is positioned within the housing.
Air duct for water ingress management in a vehicle
An air guide duct for water ingress management having at least one air inlet and at least one air outlet channel which has an upstream inlet opening in fluid communication with the at least one air inlet and a downstream outlet opening into at least one of the front wheel wells, whereby incoming air from the front end of the motor vehicle is guided into at least one of the front wheel wells. A bottom surface of the upstream inlet opening is disposed at a first vertical position and a bottom surface of the downstream outlet opening is disposed at a second vertical position, with the bottom surface of the downstream outlet opening being disposed lower than the bottom surface of the upstream inlet opening relative to the front wheel wells such that a height differential is defined between the first vertical position and the second vertical position.
