Abstract:
A cold planer and method for ventilating the cold planer. The cold planer comprises a frame, a hood, a milling drum and a ventilation system. The hood is disposed under the frame and defines a cutting chamber. A milling drum is disposed inside the cutting chamber under the hood. The ventilation system comprises a cutting chamber port, a boost fan, a settling box and a main fan. The cutting chamber port extends through the hood. The boost fan is configured to generate a siphon that draws airflow from inside the cutting chamber through the cutting chamber port. The settling box is configured to cause particles to drop out of airflow. The settling box is in fluid communication with the cutting chamber port. The main fan is configured to draw airflow from the settling box and a region in front of the hood and vent it away from the cold planer.

Claim (Index 15):
A cold planer comprising:\n a frame; a hood disposed under the frame, the hood defining a cutting chamber, the hood partially enclosing a milling drum; the milling drum disposed inside the cutting chamber under the hood, the milling drum rotatable about an axis; and a ventilation system that comprises:\n a cutting chamber port extending through the hood, the cutting chamber port disposed above the milling drum; \n a boost fan configured to generate a siphon that draws airflow from inside the cutting chamber through the cutting chamber port; \n a settling box having a top and a bottom and defining a cavity, the settling box including a cover disposed at the top of the settling box, and a first sidewall connected to the cover and extending in a downward direction from the cover, the settling box including a boost fan inlet disposed in the first sidewall and placing the settling box in fluid communication with the cutting chamber port to receive the airflow drawn from inside the cutting chamber through the cutting chamber port, wherein the settling box is configured to cause particles having a particle size greater than a predetermined size to drop out of airflow, the settling box including a bottom inlet disposed at bottom of the settling box, and an outlet disposed in the cover, and the settling box in fluid communication with a region of the hood in front of the milling drum in the direction of travel of the cold planer through the bottom inlet; and \n the main fan in fluid communication with the settling box through the outlet and configured to draw airflow from the settling box and the region of the hood in front of the milling drum through the outlet and vent the airflow it-away from an operator area of the cold planer.
