    About this ebook

    This book contains a wide array of automotive hybrid applications. Emphasis is placed on a practical approach, with the theory to back it up as well. It is, however, expected that the technician already has a basic understanding of automobiles and electronics in general. The text is also a great companion to in class training. With that in mind, learn and enjoy.

      Preface

      The role of the modern automotive technician has changed drastically in the past decade. The job of today’s vehicle specialist involves a deep knowledge of a wide variety of technical disciplines. Few professions encompass such a diverse understanding of technology. The automotive technician is now expected to know about chemistry, electronics, mechanics, optics,

      as well as posses a deep analytical mind. The last only comes with time and experience.

      This book contains a wide array of automotive hybrid applications. Emphasis is placed on a practical approach, with the theory to back it up as well. It is, however, expected that the technician already has a basic understanding of automobiles and electronics in general. The text is also a great companion to in class training. With that in mind, learn and enjoy.

      CHAPTER 1

      (Hybrid Basics and Safety Procedures)

      The Need for Hybrid Systems

      The modern age has ushered new threats to the environment. Human activity and production are in constant conflict with the environment. The production all CO, NOx and Hydrocarbon or HC threatens to destroy our health in general. Industrial output and activity coupled with the increasing number of automobiles on the roads makes this threat even bigger. Automobile pollution accounts for the greatest number of carbon dioxide, NOX and hydrocarbons output into the atmosphere. Industrial activity is closely related to Sulfur and Methane pollution. Our constant dependency on oil and industrial progress for the economy also fuels another type of gas, which is CO2 or carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is the natural output or any combustion process. Carbon dioxide can not be eliminated since any efficiently working engine produces CO2 as its output. Industrial activity on the other hand cannot be easy to control. Since this control can affect the economy the greatest. So the easiest problem to tackle is the automobile.

      * An ICE is an internal combustion engine, either gas or diesel.

      * CO2 is the normal
