Team Hybrid
Sub-Systems
The overall Team Hybrid solution has been broken
down into 3 main sub-systems:
1) the Hydraulic Drive
System
2) the Hydraulic Driven System
3) the Control System
The
Hydraulic Drive System consists of any
mechanical motion producing component that drives the hydraulic
system.
This includes, but is not limited to:
1) the ICE operating as:
- the FB-4001A generator
drive system
- a parallel drive motor
running a hydraulic pump
2) the FB-4001A electric motors operating as:
- the ICE driven
generator to charge the batteries/ultra-capacitors (including
"fan clutch" system)
- a parallel drive motor
running a hydraulic pump
3) the battery/ultra-capacitor bank operating as
- an energy storage
device
4) any necessary mounting brackets etc.
The
Hydraulic Driven System consists of
any mechanical motion producing component that relies on
hydraulic pressure to function as needed.
This has 2 parts: 1)
regular
drive system and 2)
regenerative
braking system.
This includes, but is not limited to:
1) the hydraulic pumps
acting to:
- create hydraulic
pressure in the system depending on Hydraulic Drive System input
2) the high pressure accumulator acting to:
- store pressure in the
system to power the hydraulic motors
- store energy during
regenerative braking
3) the low pressure accumulator acting to:
- supply the hydraulic
pumps with fluid to send to the high pressure accumulator during
driving
- supply the hydraulic
motors with fluid to pump into the high pressure accumulator
during
regenerative
braking
4) the hydraulic motors acting to:
- supply rotary motion to
the wheels during driving
- pump fluid into the
high pressure accumulator during regenerative braking
5) all hydraulic lines and fittings
The Control System consists of any
electrical/electromechanical component that is essential to the
useful operation of the hybrid vehicle (were it built).
This includes, but is not limited to:
1) the FB-4001A motor
control units acting to:
- control the RPM, output
torque, efficiency, etc. of the FB-4001A motors
2) the battery/ultra-capacitor controller acting to:
- control the rate at
which these units are charged/discharged
- monitor these units to
determine when the alternator mush be engaged
3) the check valves and the 4 port, 3 way valve acting
to:
- control the flow to the
Hydraulic Driven System components
4) any necessary code to run the micro-chips etc.
