ENERGY RECOVERY SYSTEM FROM THE VEHICLE DAMPERS AND THE INFLUENCE OF THE TANK PRESSURE

Abstract

There exists the necessity of drastic reduction of the green house gases and fossil fuel but not interacting with the comfort and safety conditions of the vehicles. The vehicles can produce a significant amount of energy by means of a vertical movement which is given by the road profile and the displacement regimes of the vehicles, from which a major part is dissipated in the conventional suspensions. The purpose of our work is to recover this energy having the aim to reduce the fuel consumption of a hydraulic hybrid vehicle. For evidencing the capacity of such a recovery system, a series of simulations were made by using the AMESim 8.0B software. This helps us further for validating of the energy from the suspensions recovery system simulation models as well for the identification of the way the recovery system realizes the charge of the hydraulic hybrid transmission.
