WORK VEHICLE WITH AN IMPROVED THERMAL LAYOUT AND RELATED CONTROL METHOD

Abstract

Work vehicle (1) comprising a main body (2), locomotion means (3) adapted to move the main body (2) relative to a reference system, a thermal engine (4) and an electrical motor (5), electrical energy storage means (6) electrically connected to said electrical motor (5); a first system and a second system (10, 20) to be cooled down, a first cooling assembly (100) and a second cooling assembly (200), which are respectively configured to cool down the first system (10) and the second system (20). The first cooling assembly (100) comprises a first circuit (101), which is adapted to be crossed by a first fluid, a first pump (102) configured to circulate the first fluid within the first circuit (101); and a first heat exchanger (103). The second cooling assembly (200) comprises a second circuit (201), which is adapted to be crossed by a second fluid; a second pump (202) configured to circulate the second fluid within the second circuit (201); and a second heat exchanger (203). The first pump (102) and the second pump (202) are controllable independently of each other.
