Forced air circulation for an aftertreatment module

A method for cooling an aftertreatment module mounted within an enclosure, the method comprising:

• providing a source of forced air in fluid communication with the enclosure;
• providing at least one duct in conjunction with the source of forced air;
• directing at least a portion of the forced air from the source of forced air towards a first component of the aftertreatment module;
• and
• directing a remaining portion of the forced air that was not directed towards to the first component towards a second component of the aftertreatment module.

A machine comprising:

• a power source;
• a frame;
• an aftertreatment module mounted within an enclosure located on the frame;
• and
• a cooling system for the aftertreatment module, the cooling system comprising:
• a source of forced air in fluid communication with the enclosure;
• and
• at least one duct provided in conjunction with the source of forced air, the at least one duct being configured to direct at least a portion of the forced air from the source of forced air towards a first component of the aftertreatment module;
• wherein a remaining portion of the forced air that was not directed towards to the first component is directed towards a second component of the aftertreatment module.
