Cooling system air intake with an adjustable louver

Abstract:

A work vehicle including a body, a cooling system with one or more coolers, and a fan disposed adjacent to the coolers. A louver system is disposed adjacently to an inlet of the vehicle body. The louver system includes a first actuator operatively connected to a first plurality of slats and a second actuator operatively connected to a second plurality of slats. A first sensor operatively connected to a first cooler is configured to identify a first temperature of the first cooler and to generate a signal responsive to the identified first temperature. A second sensor operatively connected to a second cooler is configured to identify a second temperature of the second cooler and to generate a signal responsive to the identified second temperature. A position of the first plurality and second plurality of slats is determined respectively by the first and second temperatures.
