Embodiment Construction

[0011] figure 1 An example embodiment of machine 10 is shown generally in . Machine 10 may be an on-highway or off-highway vehicle, such as a motor grader. Machine 10 includes a front frame 12 and a rear frame 14 . Front frame 12 may be pivotally connected to rear frame 14 about a vertical axis. Alternatively, however, the front frame 12 and the rear frame 14 may be opposite ends of a unitary frame of the machine 10 . An operator console 16 may be mounted on rear frame 14 and may include various controls that control operation of machine 10 and / or implements of machine 10 .

[0012] Housing 18 may be located on rear frame 14 of machine 10 . figure 2 Housing 18 , shown in phantom, may be rectangular in shape and may include at least a top panel 30 extending between two spaced apart side panels 32 and 34 and a rear panel 36 . It should be appreciated that the housing 18 may comprise one unitary structure or may comprise a multi-panel enclosure adapted to enclose the engine...

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 relates generally to fuel tanks for engine systems of machines, and more particularly, to fuel tanks and engine system housings defining fluid conduit passages. Background technique [0002] Current machine designs often focus on smaller engine compartments while requiring greater engine power. Larger engines can provide greater power; however, the cooling requirements of these larger engines are very high. Therefore, engine cooling systems for larger engines had to be located in the already scarce space of the engine bay. In particular, many modern machines utilize multiple cooling systems, such as those used to cool compressed air, fuel, and hydraulic oil. These and other general machine systems located within the engine compartment should be designed to be compact while still allowing the various systems to operate efficiently. [0003] Additional components typically located within the engine compartment of the machine incl...
