Motoren und Getriebe in Bussen

[Spannungsprüfer5335]

Moin,

 

mal nen paar Fargen zu so Bussen die in der Stadt eingesetzt werden (ich glaub Niederflurbusse)(ca-Angaben reichen natürlich vollkommen :D):

Was ham nen die für Motoren?? Diesel ist klar, aber Saug oder Turbo?? Hubraum??? Leistung??? Drehmoment???

Was für Getriebe?? Die die ich mein haben alle Automtaik. Sind des normale Wandlergetriebe oder was??

 

Danke

[NexxusGareth]

In Relation zu nem Fuhrpark von 56 Fahrzeugen + 2 Schlachtbusse + 1 Oldtimer

Allerdings ging es nicht darum das nur 8 Motoren (im Schnitt ) pro Jahr hochgehen sondern deutlich mehr motoren als Getriebe

Ist gar nicht so klar. Stichwort Erdgasmotoren. Die arbeiten im Otto-Verfahren.

die cng motoren sind aber doch schon eher otto wie diesel?

also ich stell mir das so vor das man halt die blöcke von dieseln nimmt weil wo kriegt man schon nen 12l benziner her, aber diesel sound haben zumindest die hier eingesetzten keinen

CNG-Motoren arbeiten nach dem Otto-Prinzip. Bifuel-Motoren z.B. sind m.W. immer Benziner. Habe eigene Erfagrungen mit MB E 230, BMW 518i Touing und Golf 2,0 - alles Benziner.

Mag sein, dass bei Abmessungen wie Bohrung und Hub Dieselmotoren Pate gestanden habe, aber das Verbrennungsprinzip bleibt Otto.

Mack cleans up with CNG - Mack Trucks Inc., Natural Gas Institute developing natural gas-fueled truck engine

Ward's Auto World, Nov, 1992 by Stephen E. Plumb

 

Mack Trucks Inc., Allentown, PA, and Chicago-based Gas Research Institute announce a research and development effort to design and test a natural-gas version of the Mack E7 heavy-duty diesel engine.

Mack plans to install a prototype of the natural-gas engine in a refuse hauler for testing in the Boston area early next year. The engine will be fitted, along with a natural-gas fueling system, into the chassis of a Mack MR model rear-loading garbage truck.

Browning Ferris Industries, a national refuse disposal company, will test the vehicle in commercial service, with Boston Gas Co. providing fuel for a portion of the test.

Louisville Tests New CNG Reefer

Jan 1, 2000 12:00 PM

The Refrigerated Transporter Staff

A refrigerated straight truck with a natural gas-fueled engine and refrigeration unit provides the city of Louisville, Kentucky, a way to improve the environment and test compressed natural gas (CNG) as an alternative fuel.

For the past year, Louisville has successfully operated a specially equipped Ford truck with a Kidron body. The truck has a Cummins 15B-195 engine modified for natural gas. Truck and refrigeration unit both use natural gas.

"Louisville is a member of the Kentucky Clean Air Coalition and is committed to cleaning up pollution in our city," says Chester Denny, equipment procurement analyst for the city. "We had been looking at natural gas as an alternative fuel, so we applied through the Kentucky Department of Energy for a federal test grant."

In the grant application, Louisville asked for money to test natural gas as the fuel source for both the truck and the refrigeration unit. The grant was awarded, and the city used the money to pay the cost difference between conventional equipment and a vehicle modified for natural gas.

Several Louisville vendors participated in the modification project, including All-State Ford, Dealers Truck Equipment, Cummins Engine, and Bachman NGV, the natural gas system integrator. Thermo King also participated. "CNG has been around for a long time, but using it as an alternative fuel for a refrigeration unit was another matter," Denny says.

At the project's onset in 1996, when Dealers Truck Equipment contacted Thermo King, a natural gas refrigeration unit was not available. A unit was under development, however. Steve Stucky, Thermo King's global director of truck products, assured the other project participants that Thermo King could provide a test unit.

Thermo King developed the MGC 50 Max unit to use natural gas. The MGC 50 Max incorporates features of the diesel-powered MD-II Max, Thermo King says. It is designed with belt-driven dual evaporator fans, aluminum frame, and a microprocessor controller. The unit is charged with R-404A refrigerant.

"The MGC 50 Max has a modified engine for compressed natural gas," Stucky said. "It has microprocessor controls for engine speed and horsepower load."

Thermo King of Indiana Inc installed the MGC 50 Max at its dealership in Jefferson, Indiana, across the Ohio River from Louisville. Tom Lantrip, general manager of the dealership, and Ron Allen, account manager, worked closely with factory engineers and service personnel throughout the three-week process of preparing the truck for natural gas-powered refrigeration.

The truck engine and refrigeration unit draw compressed natural gas from three tanks mounted behind the cab on the outside front wall of the truck body. A sheet-metal box covers the tanks, which weigh about 1,200 pounds. The tanks provide the equivalent fuel of a 33-gallon diesel tank.

"The 10-ft body was set back 24 inches from the back of the cab to accommodate the fuel tanks," said Doug Miller, general manager of Dealers Truck Equipment. "Ordinarily, a truck body is installed three inches back from the cab."

Denny says that he is pleased with the performance of the truck and MGC 50 Max. Louisville will continue to study compressed natural gas as an alternative fuel for several more years, he says, tracking fuel costs and maintenance for both truck and refrigeration unit. "Performance to date shows Louisville has taken a progressive step forward in the race to clean up pollution," he says.
