A working vehicle, such as an agricultural combine, includes a vehicle body and an internal combustion engine carried by the vehicle body. The internal combustion engine includes a heat exchanger. An air scoop has an inlet positioned near a top of the vehicle body and facing in an upward direction, and an outlet positioned in association with the heat exchanger.

An airfoil is placed in ductwork that directs airflow from a combine cooling fan the pneumatically blast dust, chaff and other debris off the top of a separator unit. The airfoil comprises a leading edge, a trailing edge located downstream from the leading edge, a thickness, and a chord extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge. The airfoil is adapted to encourage airflow downward toward to outlet of the ductwork and to discourage air from swirling back toward the inlet of the ductwork.
