| Resumen |
Announcement of a flywheel energy storage system for diesel-powered lift trucks working in ship holds and terminals. By storing engine and braking energy in a flywheel for subsequent recovery, the system reduces the contribution of the diesel engine to the work cycle of a lift truck, thereby doing away with exhaust gases in confined spaces. A representative truck with a fully-charged flywheel was able to shift a 25-ton container and return to its starting point (a total path of 140m) without the use of its engine. |
