00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,208
An exhauster blower, connected to the bleed air duct, provides a drawing force to discharge the dirty air into the radiator cab.

2
00:00:08,208 --> 00:00:14,333
The clean air in the middle of the air stream exits each tube and enters the traction motor blower.

3
00:00:14,333 --> 00:00:19,042
The traction motor blower forces the clean, cooling air into an air plenum.

4
00:00:19,042 --> 00:00:27,750
The air plenum, constructed by welding a top and bottom plate to two I-beams that form the platform structure, runs the length of the locomotive.

5
00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:34,208
Baffles built into the air plenum help to equalize airflow from one end of the plenum to the other.

6
00:00:34,208 --> 00:00:39,125
The cooling air exits the platform air plenum through flexible air ducts.

7
00:00:39,125 --> 00:00:44,875
These flexible air ducts run from the platform down to each traction motor on both trucks.

8
00:00:44,875 --> 00:00:52,958
After cooling the traction motors, the air exhausts to the atmosphere through vents built into one end of each traction motor.
