Intended for use with B-ISG and full Hybrid powertrains, IP has produced a new multi-mode crankshaft mounted VR-Pulley technology. This largely passive device which packages within the standard pulley diameter provides all normal pulley functions including a crankshaft torsional damper. The VR-Pulley gives the following functions and benefits.
features
- Up to 3.5 x reduced electrical machine torque requirement for engine cranking
- Major reduction in belt tension requirement
- De-coupler function to improve dynamics and prevent belt squeal
- Ancilliary drive mode enabling electrical machine to drive engine ancillaries e.g. A/C compressor, water pump, vac pump etc., whilst engine is stopped
- Re-optimised electrical machine can provide increased regeneration power in comparison to conventional B-ISG machines
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 with a simple low power solenoid, 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
- Simplification of hybrid powertrains
