00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,375
The traction motor cooling air system supplies cooling air to the traction motors.

2
00:00:05,375 --> 00:00:17,292
The vacuum created by the traction motor blower first draws outside air in through the V-screens, where large items such as leaves, paper, etc., are blocked from entering the system.

3
00:00:17,292 --> 00:00:23,875
Passing through the V-screens, the air and dirt are separated by 12 plastic air cleaner panels.

4
00:00:23,875 --> 00:00:29,000
Each air cleaner panel contains 54 individual vortex tubes.

5
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:36,458
These tubes contain spiral vanes that cause the air to swirl like a tornado as it passes through the tube.

6
00:00:36,458 --> 00:00:42,250
The swirling action forces the heavier dirt particles to the outside of the air stream.

7
00:00:42,250 --> 00:00:50,583
This "dirty" air is separated at the output of the tubes and is discharged from the air cleaner panels into a bleed air duct.
