Abstract
The present application discloses an air compression apparatus mounted on a vehicle. The air compression apparatus includes a first air compressor configured to generate first compressed air, a first cooling fan configured to send first cooling wind in a first direction to cool the first air compressor, and a second air compressor aligned with the first air compressor in a second direction intersecting with the first direction. The second air compressor generates second compressed air.

An air compression apparatus configured to be mounted on a vehicle, comprising:
- a first air compressor configured to generate first compressed air;
- a first cooling fan configured to send first cooling wind in a first direction to cool the first air compressor;
- a second air compressor aligned with the first air compressor in a second direction intersecting with the first direction, the second air compressor generating second compressed air;
- a second cooling fan configured to send second cooling wind in the first direction to cool the second air compressor;
- a first after-cooler configured to cool the first compressed air;
- a second after-cooler configured to cool the second compressed air;
- a third cooling fan configured to generate third cooling wind;
- and
- a fourth cooling fan configured to generate fourth cooling wind,
- wherein the third cooling fan is situated to blow the third cooling wind directly to the first after-cooler,
- wherein the fourth cooling fan is situated to blow the fourth cooling wind directly to the second after-cooler,
- wherein the first after-cooler is cooled by the first cooling wind from the first cooling fan and the third cooling wind from the third cooling fan, and
- wherein the second after-cooler is cooled by the second cooling wind from the second cooling fan and the fourth cooling wind from the fourth cooling fan.
