Hyperion - HEINZMANN - #2

HEINZMANN's electric motor/generator for diesel hybrid drive combines the know-how of our Engine and Turbine Management divi­sion with that of the Electric Drives division. As a specialist in control systems for diesel engines, HEINZMANN now offers a major contribution to this pioneering drive technol­ogy for the off-road application sector.

The HEINZMANN electric motor can also be combined with gaseous fuelled and gasoline engines. Thus HEINZMANN supplies hybrid solutions for the full line of industrial engines.

HEINZMANN is developing hybrid concepts for industry, municipalities and the construc­tion industry by this means being a partner to all combustion engine manufacturers.

The advantages of the hybrid drives are clear. The resource-efficient drive concept consider­ably reduces fuel consumption. The unique way in which the electric machine works leads to a significant improvement in the performance of the entire drive system. When the electric machine is working as a motor, power from the battery is transferred to the drive-train. Conversely, when operating as a generator, it uses the power of the drive-train in order to recharge the battery. Thus it is possible to downsize the internal combustion engine running at its most efficient operating point and to recuperate the energy during braking. Finally the hybrid concept provides considerable emission reductions.
