Abstract:
An exhaust after-treatment mounting arrangement is provided that is mounted outside of an engine compartment and has a perforated enclosure allowing air to permeate the enclosure and establish an airflow through the enclosure to maintain part integrity of components of an exhaust after-treatment system with maximum temperature thresholds. Components of the exhaust after-treatment system may be mounted to permit movement of such components relative to upstream and downstream components in the exhaust system. The enclosure is configured to prevent contact of the hot components by operators and/or flammable materials with small venting holes through top surfaces of the enclosure and large vent holes in bottom areas of the box that allow large volumes of air to easily flow into the enclosure.

Claim (Index 13):
A self-propelled off-road agricultural vehicle comprising:\n a chassis having wheels for moving the off-road self-propelled agricultural vehicle; a cab supported by the chassis; an engine compartment housing an engine with an engine exhaust manifold; an engine exhaust pipe extending from the engine exhaust manifold away from the engine and out of the engine compartment; an exhaust stack operable to releases exhaust gasses from the engine; and an exhaust after-treatment mounting arrangement including:\n an exhaust after-treatment system for treating the exhaust of the engine as treated exhaust gasses and directing the treated exhaust gasses to the exhaust stack, wherein the exhaust after-treatment system includes an inlet portion and an outlet portion; \n an after-treatment housing box arranged outwardly of the cab and the engine compartment including interconnected walls defining an enclosure which extends circumferentially about the exhaust after-treatment system so as to surround and enclose the exhaust after-treatment system, the after-treatment housing box having a first end and an opposite second end, and including, \n a venting system for receiving ambient air into the after-treatment housing box and establishing an airflow through the after-treatment housing box for cooling the exhaust after-treatment system; \n a flexible mounting system for allowing relative movement of the exhaust after-treatment system and the after-treatment housing box relative to the cab and the engine compartment, wherein the flexible mounting system includes:\n a first flexible bellows arranged between the engine exhaust pipe and the inlet portion of the exhaust after-treatment system with the first flexible bellows configured to allow relative movement between the engine exhaust pipe and the exhaust after-treatment system; and \n a second flexible bellows arranged between the outlet portion of the exhaust after-treatments system and the exhaust stack with the second flexible bellows configured to allow relative movement between the exhaust after-treatments system and the exhaust stack; \n \n a first mounting bracket operatively connected to the chassis, the first mounting bracket adapted for supporting a portion of the first end of the after-treatment housing box; and a second mounting bracket operatively connected to the chassis, the second mounting bracket adapted for supporting the second end of the after-treatment housing box.
