Abstract:
1. A construction machine, comprising: an engine room; an engine disposed in the engine room; a heat exchanger disposed in the engine room; an air intake passage configured to provide a communication between an interior and an exterior of the engine room; and a cooling fan disposed in the engine room, the cooling fan being configured to draw an external air into the engine room through the air intake passage by rotation of the cooling fan, and to flow the external air in such a manner that the external air passes through the heat exchanger, wherein the heat exchanger has an air intake surface formed on a side portion of the heat exchanger, the air intake surface being a surface configured to receive an airflow to be drawn into the heat exchanger, and the air intake passage is configured to flow the external air drawn to the air intake passage along a route passing a first position just above the heat exchanger and bending downward at a second position downstream of the first position, to reach the air intake surface.
