Abstract
A compressed air supplying apparatus is provided for, in such vehicles with no air compressor as heavy construction equipments, extracting a portion of compressed air supplied from a turbocharger to an engine to use the extracted air for the purpose of cleaning a vehicle cabin or the like. The apparatus comprises a turbocharger and a bifurcate tube attached to midway of an intake pipe through which the turbocharger supplies compressed air to an intake manifold of an engine. The bifurcate tube is adapted to extract the compressed air from the intake pipe. An air spray device is connected to a distal end of the bifurcate tube so that it can spray the compressed air, if needed, to cleanse a vehicle cabin or other parts of the construction equipments.
