Abstract
A stone guard including: a guard member configured to allow a flow of air to pass through the guard member and block stones from passing through the guard member; and a first guide member extending from the guard member, configured to divide the flow of air passing through the guard member into a first stream of air and a second stream of air.
Claims15
A stone guard comprising:
- a guard member configured to allow a flow of air to pass through the guard member and block stones from passing through the guard member;
- and
- a first guide member extending from the guard member, configured to divide the flow of air passing through the guard member into a first stream of air and a second stream of air.
An inclined heat exchanger module comprising:
- a first heat exchanger configured to exchange heat with a flow of air;
- a second heat exchanger configured to exchange heat with the flow of air, arranged downstream of the first heat exchanger;
- a stone guard including:
- a guard member configured to allow the flow of air to pass through the guard member and block stones from passing through the guard member;
- and
- a first guide member extending from the guard member, configured to divide the flow of air passing through the guard member into a first stream of air and a second stream of air;
- wherein the stone guard is arranged upstream of the first heat exchanger,
- wherein the first heat exchanger, the second heat exchanger and the stone guard are stacked together and extend along a height axis so that they are each defined by a respective height dimension, and along a depth axis so that they are each defined by a respective depth dimension,
- wherein a portion of the second heat exchanger extends beyond the first heat exchanger so that the flow of air is enabled to reach the second heat exchanger without flowing through the first heat exchanger,
- wherein the guard member at least partially covers the first heat exchanger and partially covers the second heat exchanger when viewed in a direction of the flow of air, with the first guide member extending along the depth axis adjacent to the first heat exchanger so that the first stream is directed through the first heat exchanger and the second stream is directed through the second heat exchanger.
