ABSTRACT:
A cooling air system for an internal combustion engine has an engine enclosure and a plenum connected to the engine enclosure. A radial flow fan disposed in the plenum has blades which are spaced from the side wall a preselected distance. An inlet duct in the engine enclosure directs drawn outside ambient air toward a radiator located within the engine enclosure. A shroud extending into the plenum directs air flow passing through the radiator axially toward the radial flow fan. An outlet opening at the top end of the plenum exhausts radially directed heated air flow elevationally to the atmosphere.
