DIESEL ENGINE VEHICLE CONFIGURATIONS FOR EVACUATION OF ENGINE AND/OR EXHAUST SYSTEM HEAT

摘要

The diesel engine vehicle has a passenger area, and a substantially vertically oriented ventilated chamber separate from the passenger area. The ventilated chamber can be in air flow communication with an engine compartment to evacuate heat therefrom. A heat-emitting exhaust treatment unit can be housed in the ventilated chamber and connected between the diesel engine and an exhaust outlet in an exhaust system of the vehicle.
