Abstract
The air inlet of the cooling fan is positioned substantially on top of a motor saw body so that the air is drawn from a region above the saw where the concentration of pollutants is considerably lower than at the usually known inlet through the fan cover. The air inlet is positioned at a distance from the fan cover to provide a connecting channel between the inlet and the fan wheel, in which channel a shunt damper is arranged. The shunt channel enables a balanced mixture of cold outdoor air and warm recirculating inner air so that a proper engine temperature can be effected.
Claims6
An arrangement for the inlet of cooling and combustion air in a motor saw having a fan system, a cylinder and a carburetor, said arrangement comprising an external air inlet for admitting outdoor air to the saw, said external inlet comprising an opening in the top surface of the saw, said arrangement further comprising an internal air distributor for recirculating cooling air in said system, said distributor being positioned to receive outdoor air from said external inlet and air preheated by circulation about said cylinder and to supply mixed, preheated air to the input of the fan system, said fan system directing air received thereby either along one path to said carburetor or along another path to circulate about said cylinder.
