    摘要: A hydraulic transaxle of the present invention includes an axle, a hydraulic static transmission (“HST”), a center case that has pair of oil passages for circulating the hydraulic oil between the hydraulic pump and the hydraulic motor, and a gear mechanism that transmits an output of the HST to the axle. A case supports the axle and accommodates the HST while also forming an oil reservoir. A hydraulic motor of the HST includes a motor shaft, a cylinder block with a plurality of cylinders fixed to the motor shaft, a plurality of pistons inserted into the cylinders, a fixed swash plate abutted by the plurality of pistons, and a fixed swash plate holder that supports the fixed swash plate with respect to the case. The motor shaft of the hydraulic motor is supported by the center case and the fixed swash plate holder.

    摘要: A liquid air energy storage system comprises an air liquefier, a storage facility for storing the liquefied air, and a power recovery unit coupled to the storage facility. The air liquefier comprises an air input, an adsorption air purification unit for purifying the input air, and a cold box for liquefying the purified air. The power recovery unit comprises a pump for pressurising the liquefied air from the liquid air storage facility, an evaporator for transforming the high-pressure liquefied air into high-pressure gaseous air, an expansion turbine capable of being driven by the high-pressure gaseous air, a generator for generating electricity from the expansion turbine, and an exhaust for exhausting low-pressure gaseous air from the expansion turbine. The exhaust is coupled to the adsorption air purification unit such that at least a portion of the exhausted low-pressure gaseous air is usable to regenerate the adsorption air purification unit.

    摘要: The invention relates to a device comprising a first hydraulic apparatus (M1) and a second hydraulic apparatus (M2), the two motors (M1, M2) being connected by a first line (11) and a second line (12) enabling the admission or discharge of the oil in said motors (M1, M2), a booster pump (30), arranged between a tank and a booster line, the booster line communicating with at least one of said lines (11, 12), characterized in that the pump (30) is configured to be able to suck oil into the booster line in order to allow the decompression of said first and second lines (11, 12). The invention also relates to a method for evacuating a device of the type described above, in which the booster pump (30) is activated in suction mode in the booster line to enable the disengagement of the machines (M1, M2).

    摘要: Methods and associated systems for storing compressed air and extracting energy from the compressed air are disclosed. An exemplary method comprises: compressing air; storing the compressed air in a first storage tank at a first pressure; transferring the compressed air from the first storage tank to a second storage tank; storing the compressed air in the second storage tank at a second pressure lower than the first pressure; discharging the compressed air from the second storage tank; and extracting energy from the compressed air discharged from the second storage tank. The method may also comprise adding heat to the compressed air between the first storage tank and the second storage tank.

    摘要: A load based pressure and flow control system including a variable displacement hydraulic motor and a flow control valve coupled with a motor inlet. A motor inlet pressure sensor is interposed between the variable displacement hydraulic motor and the flow control valve, the motor inlet pressure sensor configured to measure a motor inlet pressure at the motor inlet. An output sensor is coupled with a motor output of the variable displacement hydraulic motor and configured to measure an output characteristic of the variable displacement hydraulic motor. A displacement and flow controller of the system is configured to change displacement of the variable displacement hydraulic motor according to a pressure difference across the flow control valve between the measured motor inlet pressure and a hydraulic system pressure, and change a flow rate of hydraulic fluid through the flow control valve according to the measured output characteristic of the hydraulic motor.
