Embodiment Construction

[0013] figure 1 An exemplary embodiment of machine 10 is shown. Machine 10 may be a machine that performs some type of work related to an industry such as railroading, marine, power generation, mining, construction, agriculture, or another industry known in the art. For example, if figure 1 As shown, machine 10 may be a locomotive designed to haul railroad vehicles. Machine 10 may have a platform 12 supported by a plurality of wheels 14 that may be configured to engage rails 16 . Wheels 14 may have traction motors (not shown) associated therewith that may drive wheels 14 to propel machine 10 in a forward or rearward direction.

[0014] Machine 10 may have engine system 20 mounted on platform 12 . In an exemplary embodiment, as figure 1 As shown, engine system 20 may be arranged longitudinally on platform 12 in the direction of travel of machine 10 . However, those skilled in the art will recognize that engine system 20 may be arranged on platform 12 front-to-back, latera...

Abstract

An air intake system is disclosed. The air intake system may have an air box. The air box may be configured to receive air from an ambient. The air intake system may also have a filter assembly disposed within the air box. The filter assembly may be configured to clean the air. In addition, the air intake system may have a duct. The duct may have a first duct end configured to receive the air exiting the filter assembly. The duct may also have a second duct end configured to deliver the air to the engine. The second duct end may be located at a gravitationally higher position than the first duct end.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to air intake systems, and more particularly to air intake systems for engines. Background technique [0002] Internal combustion engines generally include an air intake system that supplies air for combustion to a combustion chamber of the engine. The intake system may include one or more filters to clean the air before it enters the combustion chamber. Additionally, to improve combustion efficiency and generate more power, modern engines often include turbochargers to help compress the air before it is delivered to the engine. Engines must also minimize emissions into the atmosphere of unburned fuel, particulate matter such as soot, and harmful gases such as carbon monoxide or nitrous oxide to comply with strict emissions control regulations. Therefore, the engine is also equipped with aftertreatment components to clean the exhaust gas before expelling it into the air. [0003] Air handling and aftertreatmen...
