Integrated fluid reservoir and heat exchanger ducts

摘要

A combined liquid tank and fan air flow housing (30) is molded as a unit to combine needed functions in a compact preassembled unit. Separate spaced side tank portions are formed that are joined together with a front end tank to form a central opening with upper and lower ends. The opening is closed with a top plate that defines a plenum chamber and a lower fan support plate that forms a fan chamber in the central opening. A fan in the fan chamber creates an airflow from the exterior through the plenum chamber and out lateral ducts formed in the side tank portions , The inlet air flows through an oil cooler , water radiator (48) and if desired, an air conditioner condenser in the plenum chamber . The tank (30) formed is used for storage of hydraulic fluid. <IMAGE>
