Engine (101) of an amphibious vehicle (100) is located in engine compartment (102). The engine is cooled by radiator(s) (103), mounted in cooling compartment (104), which is separate to compartment (102), and may be sealed off therefrom. Ram air effect or fans (105) (driven electrically, hydraulically, or mechanically) may be used to draw cooling air into compartment (104) through radiator (103), and out past exhaust silencer(s) (107) through opening (106). Coolant hoses (109) and exhaust pipes (111) may pass through apertures (108) and (110), sealed by rubber, or metal and rubber composite seals (112) and (113). Catalytic converters may be mounted in compartment (102) or compartment (104). Similarly, coolers for engine oil; transmission oil; oil for a marine propulsion power take off; and an intake air intercooler, may be mounted in either compartment. A further cooling system may be provided for compartment (102), with further cooling air ducts and fans. |
