Electric Wheel
Hydrostatic vs. Hybrid
Hydrostatic
- Seamless torque
- High Fuel Consumption due to running high pressure pump and plumbing continuously during operation
- I.C.E. runs continuous
- Hydraulic operation of components through entire unit
- Hydraulic hose lines and pumps leak fluids on the tarmac and maintenance
- Automatic transmission went to electronic valve
- Limit to number of devise to run by size of hydraulic pump and heat
- Volume restricted
- Size limitations
- Limited access and space
- Small minor leaks make for a filthy machine maintenance issue
- High pressure blow out safety issues
- Frequency of routine overhaul per hour
- Normal noise levels high, pumps, valves, I.C.E. all emit noise constantly under use
- Separate generator required to power electric accessory implements
- Seamless torque
- Much reduced fuel consumption with twin power reserve (fuel and battery)
- I.C.E. runs only when battery pack is low, intermittent as needed or quick charge plug in.
- Electric servos driving components
- Wiring with today’s connectors and technology almost plug and play and maintenance free
- Auto wiring is very complex however resulting in rare problems
- Present technology electro I.C.E. power can use modules serviced by a single power conductor with digital encoding running parallel on same conductor
- Electric conductors don’t leak fluids and machine remains clean
- Appropriate size conductors and use specific connections limit safety issues
- Overhaul per hour most likely cut by at least 50%
- Reduced noise due to hybrid drive power switching while in use
- Electric power supply available as integral part of device
