3. Drive Cycle Research Team Dumpster Divers - Design Review Snapshot March 8, 2005 Hydraulic Assist Cycle (ASSIST) Best efficiency range for hydrostat as a motor is 500 – 2000rpm (about 10 – 40 mph) For safety – we want to assist engine at lowest speed possible at higher speed, system must react more slowly due to high fluid flow, which could be dangerous in case of emergency Regenerative Cycle (REGEN) Best efficiency range for hydrostat as a pump is about 2000psi – 4500psi Goal is to fill accumulator –Approx. 370kJ to fill from 2000psi to 4500psi –Requires an initial regen speed of about 38 mph to obtain 370kJ in accumulator

4. Electric Charge Pump Team Dumpster Divers - Design Review Snapshot March 8, 2005 (Point 1 on figure) Diesel engine efficiency very low when at idle (Point 2) Add 10 N-m of torque from pump through alternator Efficiency increases due to that engine uses less fuel to do added operation Conclusion: Run e-pump whenever diesel engine is at idle

5. New Hydrostat Mounts Team Dumpster Divers - Design Review Snapshot March 8, 2005 After testing, we found the regenerative braking system was very noisy. Most of the system noise is machine borne noise. In an effort to reduce the noise of the system, we had to come up with a dampening scheme. Since the hydrostat acts as both a pump, and a motor, we had to design a mount that would have dampening ability in both directions. The hydrostat’s internal layout also puts forces in the axial direction; we needed to dampen vibrations in that direction as well. The solution was to use an omni- directional vibration dampener. We found the necessary spring rate, and matched it as closely as possible to production vibration dampeners, and came up with a dampener that could isolate the noise up to 77% when the hydrostat was operating at 2500 RPMs.
