Apparatus for Heating an Operator Cab of a Vehicle, and Related Methods
20230373274 · 2023-11-23 ·

An apparatus for heating an operator cab of a vehicle or machine comprises a cab air heating unit and a cab air duct for conducting air toward an interior region of the cab from the cab air heating unit. An external air intake for conducting external air to an inlet side of the cab air heating unit includes a condensing conduit extending through at least part of the cab air duct. In use, when the condensing conduit is subject to a flow of external air at a temperature below that of the air passing through the cab air duct, an outer surface of the condensing conduit acts as a condensing surface on which moisture in air passing through the cab air duct condenses. This removes moisture from the air before it is introduced into the cab.
