More Information
Summary:An agricultural work vehicle includes an enclosed engine compartment within the vehicle body, with the engine compartment having a top cover that extends generally between opposite sides of the vehicle body. A vertically oriented air inlet is defined in the vehicle body for intake of air into the engine compartment. An intake housing is configured over the air inlet and includes an inlet opening and an outlet opening in communication with the engine compartment air inlet. The inlet opening extends above the top cover and is oriented relative to a vertical plane such that an angled air flow path is defined between the inlet opening and the outlet opening wherein air is drawn from an area above the top cover of the engine compartment and is directed into the air inlet.
