Work vehicle having an intake cleaning system with an alignment mechanism
A cleaning apparatus of a work machine for cleaning debris from a screen mounted to a door of an engine cooling assembly. The cleaning apparatus includes a duct extending along the screen and along a first side of the door. The duct includes a duct end located at the door. A vacuum assembly is configured to draw a vacuum through the duct, wherein the vacuum assembly is detachably connected with the duct end. An alignment mechanism includes an aligner that extends from the duct to a frame of the work machine. The alignment mechanism aligns the duct end with the vacuum assembly to provide a seal between the duct and the vacuum.
THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A thermal management system including a fluid flow mechanism. The fluid flow mechanism includes an electric machine. A conduit is formed through the electric machine allowing a heat transfer fluid to flow therethrough. The fluid flow mechanism includes a flow device configured to provide a first portion of the heat transfer fluid to a first heat exchange circuit and a second portion of heat transfer fluid to a second heat exchange circuit. The conduit is in fluid communication with the second heat exchange circuit.
VEHICLE HEAT EXCHANGE APPARATUS
Provided is a vehicle heat exchange apparatus having a structure that allows a gap between a radiator and another heat exchanger disposed side by side therein to be closed in a simple and stable manner even it the radiator and the heat exchanger are largely spaced from each other. A vehicle heat exchange apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a radiator, a heat exchanger, air barrier walls, and closure members. The radiator has a core and tanks provided on left and right sides of the core. The heat exchanger is disposed side by side with the radiator in a front-back direction of a vehicle. The air barrier walls are provided on the respective tanks and extend toward the heat exchanger while leaving a gap between the air barrier walls and the heat exchanger. The closure members each close at least a portion of the gap.

ACTIVE BAFFLING FOR COOLING SYSTEMS
A cooling system includes a first cooler, a second cooler, a fan positioned to drive air through the first cooler and the second cooler, and a baffle system. The baffle system includes a baffle and an actuator. The baffle is positioned to facilitate selectively restricting airflow through at least a portion of the first cooler. The actuator is positioned to facilitate reconfiguring the baffle between (i) a first orientation where the baffle does not restrict the airflow through the portion of the first cooler and (ii) a second orientation where the baffle restricts the airflow through the portion of the first cooler, thereby diverting additional airflow through the second cooler.
