Abstract

An deflection system for a vehicle to deflect flying debris may comprise an elongated support assembly configured to be supported on the vehicle such that the support assembly extends laterally with respect to the vehicle, and a deflection structure extending downwardly from the support assembly. The deflection structure may comprise a plurality of deflection elements including a first deflection element and a second deflection element positioned rearwardly of the first deflection element. The first deflection element may comprise a plurality of deflection bristles and the second deflection element may comprise at least one deflection panel.

Abstract

A fluid heating apparatus has a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, and a fluid path, and comprises a fluid pumping assembly configured to increase the pressure of the fluid on the fluid path, and forms a portion of the fluid path. A heating assembly is configured to heat the fluid between the fluid inlet and outlet, and forms a portion of the fluid path. A heat recovery assembly is configured to recover heat from the exhaust gases, and forms a portion of the fluid path to transfer recovered heat to fluid moving through the fluid path. A collection assembly may be employed to collect condensation from exhaust gases passing through the recovery assembly. A method is also disclosed.
