Definitions

  • This disclosure generally relates to the field of ventilation systems for engine compartments and, particularly, to ventilation systems for combined cooling and sound reduction for an engine compartment and methods therefor.
  • This disclosure also relates to engineering vehicles comprising said ventilation systems and methods.
  • engine compartments of machines may generate large amounts of heat during the course of operation of the machines.
  • Heat may be dissipated from the engine block by a liquid coolant system which may include a radiator spaced from the engine block.
  • the heat core of an engine compartment may further include powertrain components such as torque converters, hydraulic pumps, and so on.
  • Heat from the heat core may be dissipated by natural convection. Heat exchanges of the various sub-cores of the heat core may be cooled by air flowing through the engine compartment. The air flow may be produced by motion of the vehicle or by an axial fan.
  • Air may be blown over the sub-cores uniformly and may thereby cool the sub-cores to the same extent. However, depending on the operating conditions, all sub-cores may not require the same level of cooling.
  • noise or sound may be also generated by the engine and the fan itself.
  • Local authorities may set noise regulations, which may include limits on maximum noise emissions for motor vehicles or industrial vehicles. Hence, the noise emission from the engine compartment may need to be below the maximum noise limits in order to operate legally.
  • Noise or sound may be reduced by lowering the fan speed or lowering engine output. However, such actions may decrease the overall efficiency of the machine.
  • Sound dampers may be used to reduce or avoid the transmission of noise or sound.
  • the engine compartment may be lined with sound dampers, which may either absorb or reflect the noise.
  • a known sound damper for reducing the intensity of sound waves may be for example a silencer in a motor vehicle which reduces the exhaust gas or combustion noise of the engine within the exhaust system.
  • the number or size of openings in the compartment may be decreased.
  • the air flow through the engine compartment may decrease to a level where the cooling effect may be also reduced, resulting in an increase in temperature within the compartment. This may adversely affect temperature sensitive components, such as alternator, fuel injection system and various electronic components such as microprocessors.
  • a solution may be to increase the air flow by providing a fan which has a high rotational speed.
  • the increase in fan speed may result in more noise being produced from the engine compartment.
  • the present disclosure is directed, at least in part, to improving or overcoming one or more aspects of the prior art system.
  • the present disclosure describes a ventilation system for an engine compartment comprising at least one air passage having at least one inlet and at least one outlet for air flow over a heat core positioned in the air passage; a fluid circulator to circulate air flow through the air passage; and at least one barrier having an actuator to adjust position of the barrier so as regulate the air flow through the air passage and to control noise emission from the engine.
  • the present disclosure describes a method of regulating air flow and noise emission in an engine compartment comprising circulating air flow through an air passage of the engine compartment and actuating at least one barrier disposed about the air passage, wherein the actuation of the barrier controls air flow over a heat core in the air passage and controls noise emission from the engine.
