DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER PACKAGING AND METHOD OF DIRECTING AIRFLOW IN A SKID STEER MACHINE

摘要

A skid steer machine 10 includes an operator cage 12 supported on a skid steer machine frame 14, a pair of lift arms 16 pivotably attached to the skid steer machine frame 14 behind the operator cage 12 and extending longitudinally on both sides 18 of the operator cage 12, and a rear mounted engine compartment 26 supported on the skid steer machine frame 14. The rear mounted engine compartment 26 includes an internal combustion engine 50, a diesel particulate filter 54 fluidly connected to the internal combustion engine 50 and positioned between the internal combustion engine 50 and the operator cage 12, and a cooling package 58 having a predominantly horizontal orientation. The cooling package 58 is at a higher location within the rear mounted engine compartment 26 than the diesel particulate filter 54.
