  • Design Development and Performance Evaluation of Hybrid Exhaust Gas Operated Air Brake System for Automobiles
    Vol-5 Issue-2 2019 IJARIIE-ISSN(O)-2395-4396 Design Development and performance evaluation of Hybrid _Exhaust gas operated air brake system for automobiles HEMANT PAWAR, PROF. G.K.WABLE, PROF. S.P. GODASE, PANKAJ PATIL SHREE RAMCHANDRA COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING PUNE Abstract In this braking system, exhaust gas from the IC engines is used to operate air brake in the automobiles. Air brake is most used braking system in vehicles. In the proposed model, instead of air brake, exhaust gas is used to operate the brake lever. Exhaust gas from engine is stored in a specially designed pneumatic tank. This exhaust gas pressure is used to operate the pneumatic cylinder and brake lever. The secondary system used will be a thermoelectric generator used to charge a 12 volt battery and the a DC compressor will be used to further pressure rise the exhaust air tank and thus the system will be dual mode operation hence it is termed as hybrid . This study can be extended for diesel engines and petrol engines. The main aim of this project is to reduce the work loads of the engine drive to operate the air compressor. In this project pressurized air from the D.C compressor and from the exhaust will be used to operate the pneumatic brake Introduction : In this braking system, exhaust gas from the IC engines is used to operate air brake in the automobiles. Air brake is most used braking system in vehicles. In the proposed model, instead of air brake, exhaust gas is used to operate the brake lever.

  • Real-World Exhaust Emissions of Diesel Locomotives and Motorized Railcars During Scheduled Passenger Train Runs on Czech Railroads

While real driving emissions of buses decrease with fleet turnaround and have been assessed by many studies, there are virtually no realistic emissions data on diesel rail vehicles, many of which are decades old. The engines were fitted with low-power portable online monitoring instruments, including a portable Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) spectrometer, online particle measurement, and in two cases with proportional particle sampling systems, all installed in engine compartments. Due to space constraints and overhead electric traction lines, exhaust flow was computed from engine operating data. Real-world operation was characterized by relatively fast power level transitions during accelerations and interleaved periods of high load and idle, and varied considerably among service type and routes.

  • Knorr-Bremse Expands Its Commercial Vehicle Powertrain Busi- Ness with Engine Air Management Solutions
    Press Release Munich, June 20, 2016 Knorr-Bremse expands its commercial vehicle powertrain busi- ness with engine air management solutions Acquisition of UK-based GT Group strengthens Knorr-Bremse’s market posi- tion in Europe and North America Knorr-Bremse is to take over GT Group based in Peterlee (County Durham, UK) thereby reinforcing its competitive position in the engine air management sector. The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price. The acquisition is subject to approval by the anti-trust authorities. GT Group’s core business is the development and manufacturing of EGR valves and ex- haust brakes for diesel engines used in the commercial vehicle sector. The owner-managed company with around 250 employees operates four locations in the Peterlee area and ranks in both product segments amongst the worldwide market leaders. “The strategic fit of GT Group to Knorr-Bremse and the strong position of our combined businesses will enable us to meet the needs of our worldwide customers regarding the emission-compliant operation of diesel engines even more comprehensively,” explains Dr. Peter Laier, Member of the Executive Board of Knorr-Bremse AG, responsible for the Commercial Vehicle Systems Division. “We access in-depth know-how in new technologies as GT’s mechatronic exhaust valves complement Knorr-Bremse’s existing product portfolio in Asia. Therefore we are planning a close engineering collaboration especially between GT Emissions Systems and our subsid- iaries in Japan and China. Together with the GT Group we are aiming to grow in new re- gions and strengthen our market position in Europe and North America.

  • Chapter 2. General Principle of Electromagnetic Brakes
    Chapter 2. General Principle of Electromagnetic Brakes 2.1. Introduction Electromagnetic brakes have been used as supplementary retardation equipment in addition to the regular friction brakes on heavy vehicles. We outline the general principles of regular brakes and several alternative retardation techniques in this section. The working principle and characteristics of electromagnetic brakes are then highlighted. 2.2. General Principle of Brake System The principle of braking in road vehicles involves the conversion of kinetic energy into thermal energy (heat). When stepping on the brakes, the driver commands a stopping force several times as powerful as the force that puts the car in motion and dissipates the associated kinetic energy as heat. Brakes must be able to arrest the speed of a vehicle in a short periods of time regardless how fast the speed is. As a result, the brakes are required to have the ability to generating high torque and absorbing energy at extremely high rates for short periods of time. Brakes may be applied for a prolonged periods of time in some applications such as a heavy vehicle descending a long gradient at high speed. Brakes have to have the mechanism to keep the heat absorption capability for prolonged periods of time. 2.3. Conventional Friction Brake 4 The conventional friction brake system is composed of the following basic components: the “master cylinder” which is located under the hood is directly connected to the brake pedal, and converts the drivers’ foot pressure into hydraulic pressure. Steel “brake hoses” connect the master cylinder to the “slave cylinders” located at each wheel.
