Further Development of a Hydraulic Fan Drive
(2008)Innovation
- Abstract
- This Master thesis was carried out in cooperation with BAE Systems Hägglunds in Örnsköldsvik and its purpose is to improve the efficiency of the hydraulic system for the cooling fan drive in the track driven military vehicle BvS10.
The efficiency of the pump and motors are summarized using data from the subcontractors and the efficiency of the pipe line system is derived using Bernoulli's formula for steady isothermal flow and the percentage opening of the proportional valve. Calculations are done in a number of different cases because of the vehicles supposed ability to operate at a wide scale of different temperatures and at very different types of terrain. These calculations are illustrated by graphs of how much pressure loss there...

The efficiency of the pump and motors are summarized using data from the subcontractors and the efficiency of the pipe line system is derived using Bernoulli's formula for steady isothermal flow and the percentage opening of the proportional valve. Calculations are done in a number of different cases because of the vehicles supposed ability to operate at a wide scale of different temperatures and at very different types of terrain. These calculations are illustrated by graphs of how much pressure loss there is through the pipe line system.
To verify the results of the calculations a practical experiment was done. Fittings in two different sizes with hoses were connected to a hydraulic system and the pressure before and after were measured. The result of this experiment was that the difference between the practical and the theoretical pressure loss was greater for the smaller hoses and fittings compared to the larger ones. This amplified corresponding spots in the theoretical calculations.
Furthermore a simulation software called SimulationX was used to visualize how the different parts of the efficiency contributes to the total efficiency and to show how much the recommended changes would affect the system. (Less)
