Active baffling for cooling systems

A machine comprising:

• an engine;
• a transmission coupled to the engine;
• a charge air circuit coupled to the engine and including a turbocharger;
• a hydraulic circuit including a hydraulically-operated implement;
• and
• a cooling system including:
• a first frame;
• a second frame coupled to the first frame and positioned in front of a portion of the first frame in a stacked arrangement;
• an engine radiator disposed within and supported by the first frame, the engine radiator fluidly coupled to the engine;
• a hydraulic oil cooler disposed within and supported by the first frame, the hydraulic oil cooler positioned beneath or to the side of the engine radiator, the hydraulic oil cooler fluidly coupled to the hydraulic circuit;
• a transmission cooler coupled to the first frame, the transmission cooler positioned in front of at least a portion of the hydraulic oil cooler, the transmission cooler fluidly coupled to the transmission;
• a charge air cooler disposed within and supported by the second frame such that the charge air cooler is positioned in front of a portion of the engine radiator, the charge air cooler fluidly coupled to the charge air circuit;
• a fan positioned to drive air through the engine radiator, the hydraulic oil cooler, the transmission cooler, and the charge air cooler;
• and
• a baffle system including:
• one or more brackets coupled directly to at least one of the first frame or the second frame;
• one or more baffles positioned to facilitate selectively restricting airflow through at least one of the engine radiator, the hydraulic oil cooler, the transmission cooler, or the charge air cooler, each of the one or more baffles coupled to a respective one of the one or more brackets;
• and
• one or more actuators positioned to facilitate reconfiguring the one or more baffles between a non-restrictive orientation and a restrictive orientation.

• a charge air cooler disposed within and supported by the second frame, the charge air cooler positioned in front of a portion of the engine radiator, the charge air cooler configured to fluidly couple to a charge air circuit of the machine;
• a fan positioned to drive air through the engine radiator, the hydraulic oil cooler, the transmission cooler, and the charge air cooler;
• a baffle system including:
• a plurality of baffles positioned to facilitate selectively restricting airflow through at least two of the engine radiator, the hydraulic oil cooler, the transmission cooler, or the charge air cooler;
• and
• a plurality of actuators positioned to facilitate reconfiguring the plurality of baffles between a non-restrictive orientation and a restrictive orientation;
• a plurality of sensors configured to acquire data regarding operation of the cooling system;
• and
• a controller configured to control the plurality of actuators to selectively reconfigure each of the plurality of baffles between the non-restrictive orientation and the restrictive orientation based on the data.
