Abstract

A tank mounted into an enclosure with insulated sides is assembled into an engine compartment of a construction machine. A fan is coupled to the enclosure to draw air through the enclosure to cool a fluid in the tank, such as diesel exhaust fluid. A discharge pipe is used to exhaust the air from the enclosure external to the engine compartment.
