ABSTRACT:
An environmental control system for an enclosed cab of an off-the-road vehicle such as a tractor includes a pressurization blower for pressurizing the cab to a positive pressure with respect to atmospheric pressure outside the cab, and a recirculation blower for recirculating air within the cab. The system includes a fresh air intake for taking in air from outside the cab, a recirculation air intake for taking in air from within the cab, and outlets through which the air from the blowers enters the cab. An air precleaner and a fresh air filter are provided between the pressurization blower and the fresh air intake. A control circuit automatically provides a speed control signal to the pressurization blower, and a manually selected speed control signal is provided to the recirculation blower. A speed sensor senses the speed of the pressurization blower, which varies for a given speed control signal as a function of air pressure within the cab and the condition of the fresh air filter. The control circuit varies the speed control signal to the pressurization blower as a function of the pressurization blower speed to provide essentially constant air flow from the pressurization blower despite changes in cab pressure and filter condition.
