Abstract
An air system (50) for an agricultural harvester (10) includes an air flow splitter component (52) configured to be coupled to the agricultural harvester (10). The air flow splitter component (52) has an inlet (56) configured to receive air and a plurality of air outlets (58) configured to distribute the air. The air system also includes a plurality of air flow paths (60). Each air flow path of the plurality of air flow paths extends from a respective one of the plurality of air outlets and is configured to extend to a corresponding drum (12) of the agricultural harvester. Additionally, each air flow path includes a discharge outlet (80) that is configured to be disposed between a bottom surface (81) of the corresponding drum (12) and a bottom disc (85) of a doffer (42) of the corresponding drum (12) while the air system (50) is coupled to the agricultural harvester.
