Embodiment Construction

[0008] refer to figure 1 , to provide a cooling system 10 for a work vehicle (not shown). The cooling system 10 includes a first frame 12 supporting a first or front heat exchanger 14 , such as a vehicle radiator. Both the first frame 12 and the first heat exchanger 14 have a lower or first end 16 and an upper or second end 18 positioned opposite each other.

[0009] The fan 20 is spaced apart from the first heat exchanger 14 and surrounded by a fan frame 22 . The second heat exchanger 24 extends between the fan 20 and the first end 16 of the first heat exchanger 14 . The second heat exchanger 24 is supported by a second frame 26 . The second frame 26 includes a front member 28 , a left side member 30 , a right side member 32 and a rear member 34 .

[0010] A third or upper heat exchanger 40 is spaced from the second heat exchanger 24 and extends between the fan 20 and the second end 18 of the first heat exchanger 14 . The third heat exchanger 40 is supported by a third f...

Abstract

A vehicle cooling system (10) comprises a first heat exchanger (14) having a first end (16) and a second end (18) positioned opposite from the first end (16). A cooling fan (20) is spaced apart from the first heat exchanger (14). A second heat exchanger (24) extends between the cooling fan (20) and the first end (16) of the first heat exchanger (14). A third heat exchanger (40) is spaced apart from the second heat exchanger (24) and extends between the cooling fan (20) and the second end (18) of the first heat exchanger (14). A baffle plate (54) is pivotally mounted to the vehicle cooling system (10), the baffle plate (54) has a pivot axis positioned adjacent to the first end (16) of the first heat exchanger (14), the baffle plate (54) being pivotal to a first position reducing air flow through the first heat exchanger (14) and to a second position reducing air flow through the second heat exchanger (24). An actuator (58) is provided for pivoting the baffle plate (54) about the pivot axis.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a vehicle cooling system having a pivoting deflector. Background technique [0002] It is known to provide work vehicles such as agricultural tractors with cooling systems in which multiple coolers or heat exchangers are positioned on different sides of the space adjacent to the fans. In such multi-faceted cooling systems, it is difficult to properly balance the airflow through all the coolers. Some coolers may have too much air flow, while other coolers in the system may have too little air flow. Any excess air flow through the cooler causes wasted energy to be dissipated by the cooling fan that might otherwise be used for production work on the vehicle. Furthermore, different vehicle operations may benefit from varying air flow in such a cooling system. Contents of the invention [0003] According to one aspect of the present invention, a cooling system for a work vehicle is provided. The cooling system include...
