Abstract
A vehicle cooling system for a vehicle defining a cab comprises a heat source and an evaporative cooling system. The heat source is supported by the vehicle. The evaporative cooling system is configured to evaporate water using heat from the heat source to form a supply of cool air for cooling the cab.
Claims12
A vehicle cooling system for a vehicle defining a cab comprising:
- a heat source supported by the vehicle;
- an evaporative cooling system configured to evaporate water using heat from the heat source to form a supply of cool air for cooling the cab;
- and
- a heat exchanger;
- wherein
- cab air circulates through the heat exchanger and the cab;
- and
- the heat exchanger exchanges heat between the cab air and the supply of cool air from the evaporative cooling system.
