An engine cooling air passage for construction equipment, which is capable of reducing noise released from a cooling air exhaust port with back pressure of cooling air remaining low and making an engine room compact, is provided. To this end, in the engine cooling passage, a fan air diversion passage (53) of a predetermined length, which has a fan air diversion opening (53a) located near an outer periphery portion of a cooling fan (16) and taking in a cooling air blown by the cooling fan (16), at one end side, and an opening (53b) located near a lateral end portion of a counterweight (61) and discharging the cooling air taken in to an outside, at the other end side, is formed either in a front portion of or in front of the counterweight (61).

1. An engine cooling air passage for construction equipment in which an engine room enclosing an engine, a radiator and a cooling fan for cooling said radiator is adjacently placed in front of a counterweight at a rear end portion of a vehicle so that a direction of an axis of rotation of said cooling fan is in a lateral direction of the vehicle, and outside air is taken in by said cooling fan and is discharged to the outside via an inside of said engine room, said engine cooling air passage comprising: a fan air diversion passage of a predetermined length, which has at one end a fan air diversion opening located near an outer periphery portion of said cooling fan for taking in cooling air blown by said cooling fan, and has at the other end an opening located at a lateral end portion of said counterweight for discharging to the outside said cooling air taken in, said fan air diversion passage being formed either in a front portion of or in a front face of said counterweight, and said fan air diversion passage being separated from said engine by a wall having openings for taking in and discharging said cooling air. 2. The engine cooling air passage for the construction equipment in accordance with claim 1, wherein noise absorbing materials are attached on an inner wall of said fan air diversion passage. 3. An engine cooling air passage for construction equipment in which an engine room partially defined by upper and side partition walls and enclosing an engine, a radiator and a cooling fan for cooling said radiator is provided, and outside air is taken in by said cooling fan and is discharged to the outside via an inside of said engine room, said engine cooling air passage comprising: a fan air diversion duct of a predetermined length, which has at one end a fan air diversion opening located near an outer periphery portion of said cooling fan at a front end of said engine room for taking in cooling air blown by said cooling fan, and has at the other end an opening at a back end of said engine room for discharging to the outside said cooling air taken in, said fan air diversion duct being provided at least at either one of a side of said engine and above said engine, said fan air diversion duct being partially defined by said partition walls, and said fan air diversion duct being separated from said engine by a wall having openings for taking in and discharging said cooling air. 4. The engine cooling air passage for the construction equipment in accordance with claim 3, wherein noise absorbing materials are attached on an inner wall of said fan air diversion duct. 5. An engine cooling air passage for construction equipment in which an engine room partially defined by upper and side partition walls and enclosing an engine, a radiator and a cooling fan for cooling said radiator is provided, and outside air is taken in by said cooling fan and is discharged to the outside via an inside of said engine room, said engine cooling air passage comprising a fan air diversion duct of a predetermined length, which has at one end a fan air diversion opening located near an outer periphery portion of said cooling fan for taking in cooling air blown by said cooling fan, and has at the other end an opening for discharging to the outside said cooling air taken in, said fan air diversion duct being provided at least at either one of a side of said engine and above said engine, wherein oil pipelines provided inside said engine room and connecting an oil cooler for cooling working fluid of a hydraulic device, and a working fluid tank are placed in an inner space of said fan air diversion duct.
