Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to spray water uniformly to intake air even during partial operation. An intake-air cooling device is disposed on a rear-stage side of a pre-filter disposed on an intake-air inlet side of an intake-air duct for guiding intake air taken in from an intake-air inlet to a compressor, for cooling the intake air by spraying water to the intake air. The intake-air cooling device includes a plurality of nozzles configured to spray the water to the intake air, a plurality of water conduit pipes including the plurality of nozzles arranged in an axial direction of the water conduit pipes, and a plurality of supply pumps configured to supply the water to corresponding one of the plurality of water conduit pipes. Each of the plurality of water conduit pipes is an endless member which has a different perimeter.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a vacuum pumping system (18) for evacuating gas from a plurality of chambers (12, 14, 16) at different pressures. The pumping system comprises a plurality of compound vacuum pumps (20, 22), wherein each compound pump comprises a plurality of pumping mechanisms (24,26,28) connected in series between a pump inlet (30) and a pump exhaust (32) and an interstage port (34, 36) between pumping mechanisms in the series. The system is configured such that gas evacuated from one of said chambers is pumped through the interstage ports of at least two of said compound pumps.
Abstract:
A method of controlling a hydraulic system having a variable displacement pump operatively coupled to an engine. The method includes detecting a speed of the engine, and determining a desired power value of the pump. The method also includes identifying an allowable power value that may be expended by the pump at the detected speed. The method also includes selecting a pump power value. The selected pump power value is the lower of the allowable power value and the desired power value. The method further includes adjusting the pump to deliver the selected pump power value.
Abstract:
An air compressor comprising: a tank (50), a compression mechanism (30), a motor (5) and a control circuit (7). The control circuit (7) includes a CPU (70) and a storing unit (74) which stores a control program, the compressor operation history and a plurality of operation modes. Each of the operation modes is defined by two setting values: a reference restart pressure value and a motor rotational speed value, at least one of these values being different from among the plurality of modes. The control circuit (7) executes one of the plurality of modes as a target mode in which the control unit controls the motor to restart by comparing the pressure in the tank with the reference restart pressure and rotates the motor at the rotational speed of the target mode. The control circuit changes the target mode from the one of the plurality of modes to another one of the plurality of modes based on the compressor operation history.
Abstract:
An electric oil pump for supplying oil to at least a part (a clutch) of a transmission is provided in parallel with a mechanical oil pump which is driven by an engine and supplies oil to each part of the transmission. In advance of an operation request to the electric oil pump, the electric oil pump is rotated at a first operation-preparation rotational speed which is a very low speed so as to replace oils in oil pipes controlled by the electric oil pump. Thereafter, the electric oil pump is rotated at a second operation-preparation rotational speed which is a relatively-high speed, and when an actual rotational speed reaches the second operation-preparation rotational speed, it is determined that operation preparation is completed.
Abstract:
A variable capacity hydraulic machine has a rotating group located within a casing and a control housing secured to the casing to extend across and seal an opening in the casing. The control housing accommodates a control circuit and a pair of sensors to sense change in parameters associated with the rotating group. One of the sensors is positioned adjacent the barrel on the rotating group to sense rotational speed and the other senses displacement of the swashplate. The control housing accommodates a control valve and accumulator to supply fluid to the control valve.

A method and a system for determining a setting parameter of a hydrostatic displacement unit is provided. In the method, a pressure value, a rotational speed value, and a torque value are determined. The setting parameter can be determined with use of the pressure value, rotational speed value, torque value of the setting parameter characteristic diagram, and a setting parameter characteristic diagram, which is an inverted efficiency characteristic diagram, which has at least pressure, rotational speed, and torque as input parameters. The system can include a system unit for determining a pressure value, a system unit for determining a rotational speed value, a system unit for determining a torque value, and a system unit for determining the setting parameter with use of the pressure value, rotational speed value, torque value, and a characteristic diagram, whereby the system for determining a setting parameter is formed so that during the determination of the setting parameter it can use as a characteristic diagram a setting parameter characteristic diagram, which is an inverted efficiency characteristic diagram or torque characteristic diagram, which has at least pressure, rotational speed, and torque as input parameters.
Abstract:
Air-demand-controlled compressor arrangement, particularly for commercial vehicles, includes a motor unit for generating a rotating movement which, by way of an interposed rotational-speed-transmitting transmission unit, drives a compressor unit for generating compressed air from ambient air. A control unit triggers the generating of compressed air in the case of a compressed-air demand. The transmission unit is constructed in the manner of a transmission whose rotational speed can be varied, and the control unit interacts with the transmission unit in order to adapt the rotational speed of the transmission unit corresponding to the compressed-air demand.
