An agricultural vehicle is disclosed having an engine compartment. A cooling package is mounted near a forward end of the engine compartment, the cooling packaging including heat exchangers that are movable relative to one another between an operating position and a cleaning position. The engine is mounted near a rearward end of the engine compartment. The engine is fitted with an intake air duct leading from the engine to the forward end of the engine compartment to allow intake air to be admitted into the engine while bypassing the cooling package and thereby avoiding the engine intake air being heated. The intake air duct is articulated so as not to interfere with the movement of the heat exchangers of the cooling package between the operating and cleaning positions.

Intake air duct for an internal combustion engine of an agricultural vehicle

A hose assemblyfor engine intake air comprises a hosehaving connection regionsat first and second ends of the hose and an axially compressible and extendable bellows regiondisposed between the two connection regions. In the invention, an inextensible inner tubeis disposed within the hosewhich has a gas-impermeable wall. The inner tubehas first and second endsthat seal, respectively, against the first and second connection regionsof the hose when the bellows region is compressed. At least one of the first and second ends of the inner tubeseparates from the adjacent connection regionof the hosewhen the bellows regionis extended.
