Abstract
The crop sprayer includes a cooling system that comprises a plurality of heat exchange units attached to a housing. The housing defines an air chamber. The heat exchange units are mounted over openings defined in the walls of the housing surrounding the chamber. A fan is mounted over fan opening defined in the housing to draw air from the chamber and create a pressure drop in front of the coolers. The pressure drop causes air to be drawn through the heat exchange units into the chamber.
