ENGINE ENCLOSURE FOR SUBSEQUENT INSTALLATION ON TRUCKS, BASED ON THE DAIMLER-BENZ CHASSIS 1613

NACHRUESTBARE MOTORKAPSEL FUER FAHRZEUGE AUF DER BASIS DES DAIMLER-BENZ FAHRGESTELLS 1613

Within the reported project a glass fiber reinforced plastic engine enclosure has been developed for subsequent installation. The enclosure works according to the principle of a tube which is open at the front and at the end, and which surrounds the whole engine as well as the gear unit. The regular supply of fresh air has been interrrupted and the fresh air is now sucked in via a spoiler which is installed below the front bumper. Fresh air intake and fresh air exhaust which are installed behind the gear unit have been closed acoustically by means of mufflers. The upper part of the engine enclosure has been glued durably with noise absorbing material. The noise absobing material has a skin at its surface and is resistant against fuel oil. Equipped with sufficiently dimensioned mufflers for the compressed air system the Daimler Benz chassis 1613 will fulfill the required standards and regards noise reduced trucks in all points.
