An exhaust cooling system of an amphibious vehicle operable in land and
marine modes comprises an exhaust system to be cooled, at least one
air-liquid heat exchanger, at least one liquid-liquid heat exchanger, and
coolant liquid in thermal communication with the exhaust system to be
cooled, the air-liquid heat exchanger(s) and/or the liquid-liquid heat
exchanger(s) and heated by the exhaust system. When the amphibious
vehicle is operated in land mode, the coolant liquid is cooled by the
air-liquid heat exchanger(s). When the vehicle is operated in marine
mode, the coolant liquid is cooled by the liquid-liquid heat
exchanger(s). The air-liquid heat exchanger(s) may also be used on water.
The vehicle may plane, and have retractable road wheels. The air-liquid
heat exchanger(s) may be mounted at the front or rear of the vehicle, or
elsewhere.
