Air Intake System for a Work Vehicle

摘要

An air intake system for a work vehicle is disclosed. The air intake system may generally include a filter assembly having a pre-cleaner configured to separate particulates from air received within the filter assembly. The pre-cleaner may define a pre-cleaner outlet. In addition, the air intake system may include a blower having a fan and a housing encasing the fan. The fan may be configured to create a vacuum such that the particulates separate from the air are expelled from the pre-cleaner outlet and flow into the housing. The housing may define a blower outlet through which the particulates are expelled from the housing. Moreover, the flow of particulates through the blower outlet may be oriented non-parallel to a rotational axis of the fan.

1. An air intake system for a work vehicle, the air intake system comprising:
a filter assembly including a pre-cleaner configured to separate particulate from air received by the filter assembly, the pre-cleaner defining a pre-cleaner outlet; a conduit extending between an upstream end and a downstream end, the upstream end being in fluid communication with the pre-cleaner outlet; and a blower including a fan and a housing encasing the fan, the housing defining a blower inlet in fluid communication with the downstream end of the conduit, the fan being configured to create a vacuum such that the particulate separated from the air within the pre-cleaner is expelled from the pre-cleaner outlet and flows through the conduit and into the housing, the housing further defining a blower outlet through which the particulate is expelled from the housing, wherein the flow of particulate through the blower outlet is oriented non-parallel to a rotational axis of the fan.
