ABSTRACT:
Refuse collecting apparatus for a road sweeper, gully emptier or the like comprises an internal combustion engine driving a fan which is connected to a refuse tank. A refuse collecting nozzle is connected to the tank by a duct whereby suction generated by the fan draws refuse into the tank. The fan is bolted to a flywheel at one end of the crankshaft of the engine whereby the fan is supported for rotation on the bearings of the crankshaft. Thrust means is provided to offset the axial thrust exerted on the crank shaft by fan, the thrust means comprising drillings in a plate of the fan whereby pressure is reduced in a chamber on the non-suction side of the fan. The engine is mounted directly above a water tank in an engine compartment and is cooled by means of a radiator. Air is drawn by another fan into the engine compartment through a radiator from a control compartment in which is located the control equipment for the refuse collecting apparatus.
