Embodiment Construction

[0011] figure 1 An example embodiment of the machine 10 is shown in general. The machine 10 may be a road vehicle or an off-road vehicle, such as a motor grader. The machine 10 includes a front frame 12 and a rear frame 14. The front frame 12 may be pivotally connected to the rear frame 14 about a vertical axis. However, alternatively, the front frame 12 and the rear frame 14 may be opposite ends of the integral frame of the machine 10. The operator console 16 may be installed on the rear frame 14 and may include various controllers that control the operation of the machine 10 and / or tools of the machine 10.

[0012] The housing 18 may be located on the rear frame 14 of the machine 10. figure 2 The housing 18 shown in dashed lines in the middle may be rectangular and may include at least a top plate 30 and a rear plate 36 extending between two spaced apart side plates 32 and 34. It should be understood that the housing 18 may include an integral structure or may include a multi...

Abstract

The invention relates to a fuel tank of an engine system for a machine. The machine comprises a front frame and a rear frame, the engine system is arranged in a rectangle shell and also arranged on the rear frame and comprises an internal combustion engine, a fuel tank and a part module; the part module comprises a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger, and a fluid pipeline access is formed between the part module and the internal combustion engine by the inner surface of the rectangle shell and the outer surface of the fuel tank.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a fuel tank for an engine system of a machine, and more specifically, to a fuel tank and a housing of an engine system that defines a fluid conduit passage. Background technique [0002] Current machine designs often focus on smaller engine nacelles and require greater engine power. Larger engines can provide greater power; however, the requirements for cooling of such larger engines are very high. Therefore, the engine cooling system for larger engines must be located in the already scarce space of the engine compartment. Specifically, many modern machines utilize multiple cooling systems, such as systems for cooling compressed air, fuel, and hydraulic oil. These and other general-purpose machine systems located in the engine nacelle should be designed in a compact form while still allowing various systems to operate efficiently. [0003] Additional components usually located in the engine compartment of the machi...
