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.

An exchangeable filter of a treatment device has a housing with a housing pot and a housing cover connected to the open side of the housing pot. The exchangeable filter is connectable to a connecting head of the treatment device with a bayonet-type connecting device. The connecting device has a housing connecting part on the housing interacting with a head connecting part of the connecting head for connecting the connecting device. The housing has an inlet for a fluid to be treated connectable to a supply conduit of the treatment head and an outlet for the treated fluid connectable to a discharge conduit of the treatment head. The housing pot has a rim at the open side of the housing pot. The rim radially outwardly surrounds the housing connecting part and axially projects past the housing connecting part in a direction away from the housing bottom.

An air management assembly for a work machine, the air management assembly having a cooling orifice defined in a panel, a cooling fan generating a cooling airflow through the cooling orifice to a cooling package, at least one fixed screen positioned along an intake orifice, and a first baffle positioned at least partially between the cooling orifice and the intake orifice. Wherein, the first baffle directs the cooling airflow partially across the fixed screen to clear the fixed screen of debris.

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.

A system for cleaning a grille of a work vehicle may include a grille defining an inner side facing towards an interior portion of a work vehicle and an outer side facing towards an exterior of the work vehicle. The system may further include a plurality of nozzles fixed relative to the grille and being directed towards the inner side of the grille. Additionally, the system may include a pressurized fluid source configured to supply pressurized fluid to the plurality of nozzles. The pressurized fluid received by the plurality of nozzles is expelled from the plurality of nozzles and directed through the grille.
