A system for cleaning an air intake screen of a work vehicle may include an engine air intake assembly having an air intake screen through which an airflow is directed for subsequent delivery to an engine of a work vehicle. The system may further include a nozzle provided in operative association with the engine air intake assembly and directed towards the air intake screen. Additionally, the system may include a pressurized fluid source configured to supply pressurized fluid to the nozzle. The pressurized fluid received by the nozzle is expelled from the nozzle and directed through the air intake screen.

A self-cooling system includes at least one rotating component and a housing configured to enclose the at least one rotating component. The housing includes at least one inlet bore and at least one exhaust bore. The at least one exhaust bore is disposed radially outward from a radial position of the at least one inlet bore with respect to an axis of rotation of the at least one rotating. The at least one inlet bore and the at least one exhaust bore are positioned to establish a pressure differential configured to circulate a fluid into the at least one inlet bore, through the housing, and out the at least one exhaust bore. The system does not have any feature in addition to the at least one rotating component configured to drive the fluid into the at least one inlet bore, through the housing, and out the at least one exhaust bore.

A mixing conduit for use within an exhaust treatment system of a work vehicle. The mixing conduit is configured to receive engine exhaust and a mixture of engine exhaust and reductant. The mixing conduit includes an outer tube and an inner tube within the outer tube. Each tube extends lengthwise from upstream ends to downstream ends of the inner and outer tubes, respectively. The inner tube includes an exterior surface, and the outer tube includes an interior surface. The inner tube defines an inner flowpath within the inner tube. The outer tube and inner tube also define an outer flowpath radially between the exterior surface of the inner tube and the interior surface of the outer tube. The mixing conduit further includes one or more swirler vanes extending radially between the exterior surface of the inner tube and the interior surface of the outer tube and within the outer flowpath.

A selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system includes a SCR canister including a SCR inlet configured for receiving engine exhaust from a work vehicle and a SCR outlet configured for expelling a treated exhaust flow. The system includes first and second SCR chambers housed within the SCR canister and configured to react mixtures of exhaust reductant and associated first and second portions of the engine exhaust with a catalyst to generate first and second treated exhaust flow portions, respectively. The system includes an outlet chamber positioned between the SCR outlet and the first and second SCR chambers. Moreover, the outlet chamber is configured to combine the first and second treated exhaust flow portions to form the treated exhaust flow. Further, the system includes a chamber mixer positioned upstream of the SCR outlet and configured to promote mixing of the first and second treated exhaust flow portions within the outlet chamber.
