variable ratio crank pulley 

Intended for use with (B-ISG) projects, IP has produced a new crankshaft mounted variable pulley layout. Using a single two-position actuator and incorporating a seismic crankshaft damper the VR pulley gives the following functions and benefits.


features 
  • Approximately 2.5 x reduced electrical machine torque requirement for similar starting and re-generative braking capability
  • Major reduction in belt tension requirement
  • May enable robust cold-cranking and hence elimination of starter motor
  • De-coupler function to improve dynamics and prevent belt squeal
  • A/C mode enabling electrical machine to drive A/C compressor whilst engine is stopped

technology

  • In normal operation the drive to the pulley is via a one-way mechanism, as with many conventional de-coupler alternator drives. By engaging a simple clutch the drive is transmitted via an epicyclic mechanism containing only simple spur gears creating a ratio that can be tuned to suit specific applications.
  • If the clutch is left open whilst the engine is stationary, the pulley is de-coupled from the crankshaft enabling the electrical machine to drive the A/C compressor through the belt.

applications

  • B-ISG for large engines
  • Hybrid regenerative braking
