Abstract:
A vehicle air compressor controller includes a compressor electronic control unit receiving a plurality of signals representing respective vehicle parameters. A variable torque transmitter is controlled by the compressor electronic control unit. The variable torque transmitter receives an engine speed from an engine of the vehicle and delivers a variable torque to a compressor of the vehicle for controlling a speed of the compressor. The variable torque is determined as a function of the engine speed and the vehicle parameters.
Abstract:
To reduce the structural volume of a drive engine (1) in a drive train of a mobile vehicle, in particular a working machine such as a wheel loader, a continuously adjustable transmission gear is arranged between the drive engine (1) and a hydraulic pump (5) for the working hydraulic system, which can be adjusted as a function of the load condition of the drive engine (1).
Abstract:
This invention relates to a pumping system. The design of the system is such that bi-directional operation can be achieved using a significantly smaller and hence lighter unit than those currently available. It uses the direction of rotation of the drive shaft to control the opening and closure of the by-pass means for controllably returning the fluid to the first reservoir.
Abstract:
The high pressure system 10 is provided for outputting pressurized fluid to a source, such as a blasting gun 26. The system includes mechanical transmission 14 interconnecting a diesel engine 12 with a positive displacement pump 20. A programmable controller 30 is provided for receiving signals from a pressure transducer 34 and for controlling operation of an engine controller 44, a clutch controller 42, and a transmission shifter 46 to obtain the desired fluid pressure level output from the pump. The controller preferably communicates by wireless transmission technology, so that the controller 30 may be exterior of a sound abatement enclosure 28 surrounding the engine 12 and the transmission 14. Controller 30 may be operated to automatically shift the transmission in response to fluid pressure output from the pump. Alternatively, controller 30 may receive input instructions from the operator to shift the transmission to a desired gear. In either case, the controller 30 automatically regulates engine rpm and engages and disengages the clutch for automatically shifting the transmission.
