| Abstract: | In order to solve problems associated with high heat production,high-energy consumption and low efficiency for the hydraulic system of the working device in a wrecker truck,a hydraulic energysaving system based on common pressure rail( CPR) is proposed. A hydraulic transformer is utilized to control the actuators by analyzing energy-consumption characteristics of valve controlled hydraulic system in a wrecker truck. By analyzing the energy-saving principle of a hydraulic energy-saving system,a relevant mathematical model is established. A comparison is performed between the energysaving hydraulic system and valve controlled hydraulic system in a wrecker truck within the same work period for operating efficiency and energy consumption. Results show that hydraulic energysaving system of the wrecker truck has better controlling performance and efficiency of about 18%higher than the valve controlled hydraulic system. Energy-saving ratio for total energy consumption in this system reaches 51. 46%,demonstrating energy-saving effect of the system. |
