COOLING AND DEBRIS MITIGATION SYSTEMS FOR WORK VEHICLE POWERTRAINS
20200386146 · 2020-12-10 ·

Cooling and debris mitigation systems for use with work vehicle powertrains include a pressurized air source, a plurality of impingement outlets positioned proximate the work vehicle powertrain, and a flow network fluidly coupling the pressurized air source to the impingement outlets. A first vortex tube is positioned in the flow network and configured to separate pressurized airflow received from the pressurized air source into a hot stream and a reduced temperature stream. The first vortex tube includes a vortex tube inlet fluidly coupled to the pressurized air source, an exhaust port through which the hot stream is discharged, and a nozzle through which the reduced temperature stream is discharged. The reduced temperature stream impinges upon at least one of the targeted exterior regions of the work vehicle powertrain to provide cooling thereto and reduce debris accumulation thereon.

COOLING DEVICE FOR POWER SOURCE FOR BOAT PROPULSION APPARATUS
20200309015 · 2020-10-01 · ·

A cooling device for a power source for a boat propulsion apparatus includes a cooling water passage. The cooling water passage includes a passage provided in the power source, in which an engine or an electric motor is used as the power source of the boat propulsion apparatus that propels a boat. Water from outside the boat is taken into the cooling water passage as cooling water to cool the power source, and the cooling water after cooling the power source is drained from the cooling water passage. From the cooling water flowing through the cooling water passage, foreign substances having a size that clogs the cooling water passage are removed. The cooling water passage is provided with a filter device which can filter residual foreign substances remaining in the cooling water.
