Cold planer having multi-inlet exhaust system

An exhaust system for a cold planer, comprising:

• an inlet manifold located above a first material conveyor between a charge end and a discharge end of the material conveyor, the charge end being disposed adjacent a milling drum and the inlet manifold being located nearer the charge end relative to the discharge end and configured to receive dust and fumes generated by the milling drum;
• at least one inlet passage located at a transition area between the first material conveyor and a second material conveyor, the at least one inlet passage configured to receive dust and fumes generated by impingement of milled material against a weldment member located above the second material conveyor in the transition area;
• and
• a ventilator in fluid communication with the inlet manifold and the at least one inlet passage, the ventilator located at a discharge end of the second material conveyor and configured to draw the dust and fumes from the inlet manifold and the at least one inlet passage to the ventilator.

A cold planer, comprising:

• a frame;
• at least one traction device configured to support the frame;
• an engine supported by the frame and configured to drive the at least one traction device to propel the cold planer;
• a milling drum;
• a first conveyor having a charge end located proximate the milling drum to receive the removed material, and a discharge end;
• a second conveyor having a charge end located proximate the discharge end of the first material conveyor, and a discharge end;
• a weldment member located above the second conveyor in a path of the removed material at a transition area of the first and second conveyors;
• an inlet manifold located downstream of the milling drum and above the first conveyor, the inlet manifold being located nearer the charge end of the first conveyor relative to the discharge end of the first conveyor and configured to receive dust and fumes generated by the milling drum;
• a first inlet passage located at a first side of the transition area between the first conveyor and the second conveyor, the first inlet passage configured to receive dust and fumes generated by impingement of roadway material against the weldment member;
• a second inlet passage located at a second side of the transition area between the first conveyor and the second conveyor, the second inlet passage configured to receive dust and fumes generated by impingement of roadway material against the weldment member;
• and
• a ventilator located at the discharge end of the second material conveyor and configured to draw dust and fumes from the inlet manifold to the ventilator, the first inlet passage, and the second inlet passage, and to discharge the dust and fumes into material on the second conveyor.
