Work machine
Provided is a work machine capable of notifying that maintenance is necessary due to continuation of clogging in a cooling device or decrease in cooling performance. A wheel loader 1 including a radiator 31 and an oil cooler 32 comprises a controller 5, 5A configured to determine a clogging continuation state of the radiator 31 or the oil cooler 32. The controller 5, 5A determines whether clogging is occurring in the radiator 31 or the oil cooler 32 based on outside air temperature AW and cooling water temperature CW or hydraulic oil temperature HW, determines whether the clogging continues based on a clogging occurrence ratio R1, R2 while an engine 30 is operating, and outputs a notification command signal for providing the alarm buzzer 61 and the user management system 62 with a command to notify that maintenance is necessary when it is determined that the clogging continues.
Cooling device for power source for boat propulsion apparatus
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.

Genset enclosure with air deflector assembly
A genset includes an enclosure and a deflector assembly. The enclosure defines an at least partially enclosed space and a ventilation air opening that fluidly couples the enclosed space with an environment surrounding the enclosure. The deflector assembly includes a deflector disposed within the enclosed space and an angle driver. The angle driver is structured to adjust an angular position of the deflector relative to the ventilation air opening to minimize exported noise.
Acoustic insulation structure for power train
An acoustic insulation structure for a power train according to the present disclosure is provided with a cover member that covers at least an internal combustion engine of the power train including the internal combustion engine, and that includes a pool portion in which water that has entered into the inside of the cover member pools; and a water-absorption member arranged at the inside of the cover member. The cover member includes a moisture outlet that releases, into the atmospheric air, moisture present inside the cover member. The water-absorption member extends to the moisture outlet from the pool portion.

CONSTRUCTION MACHINE
A construction machine is capable of reducing a decrease in work efficiency due to maintenance for capturing dust. The construction machine includes: an engine; a heat exchanger; a cooling fan that sucks air into an engine chamber to pass the air through the heat exchanger; an intake chamber independent of the engine chamber; an intake tube connected to the intake chamber; and a dust receiving part. The intake tube has a curved part, which has an outside inner wall surface allowing dust in the air to contact it. The dust receiving part is located downstream of the outside inner wall surface to be capable of receiving dust.
Shielding assembly for debris management
A shield assembly that may be disposed within an engine compartment of an agricultural vehicle, the shield assembly includes a plurality of shields that may block buildup of debris within the engine compartment. At least one shield of the plurality of shields includes a sloped surface that may direct debris away from the engine compartment. The shield assembly also includes a plurality of ducts formed between the plurality of shields. The plurality of ducts may redirect cooling fluid from a cooling fan package to the engine compartment to remove debris from within the engine compartment.
Air intake screen debris sensing
An air intake screen debris cleaning system may include an intake screen through which air is drawn in a first direction for cooling, a reverse airflow generation system to create a reverse airflow in a second direction opposite the first direction to clear debris from the intake screen, a sensor to sense debris that is collected on the intake screen and a controller to activate the reverse airflow generation system based upon signals from the sensor. In one implementation, the sensor comprises an emitter to emit a sensor beam that extends along a face of the air intake screen and which does not intersect or pass through the air intake screen prior to being sensed.
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.
