DAMPERS
AUTOMOBILES,WHEELED VEHICLES,AIRCRAFTS
AND INDUSTRIAL MACHINES
CONVERTS KINETIC ENERGY OF SHOCK INTO HEAT
WASTAGE OF ENERGY PRESENT
POOR PERFORMANCE OF VEHICLES
ENERGY HARVESTING USING INTEGRATED
HYDRAULIC ACTUATOR
 OBJECTIVE

HARVEST ENERGY FROM THE VIBRATION OF

SHOCK ABSORBER
INCREASE PERFORMANCE OF VEHICLES
IMPROVE FUEL AND THUS EFFICIENCY
DESIGN OF HYDRAULIC PUMPING REGENERATIVE
SHOCK ABSORBER
SHOCK ABSORBER
 SHOCK ABSORBER

USED TO DAMP VIBRATIONS

TO MAINTAIN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH TYRE
AND ROAD
DISSIPATES VIBRATIONAL ENERGY INTO HEAT
IMPROVES RIDE QUALITY
IMPROVES HANDLING
SHOCK ABSORBER
 HYDRAULIC SHOCK
ABSORBER

HYDRAULIC CYLINDER-PISTON ARRANGEMENT

VIBRATIONAL ENERGY IS CONVERTED TO HEAT
INSIDE HYDRAULIC FLUID
MOVEMENT OF FLUID THROUGH THE ORIFICES
CREATES RESISTANCE THUS DAMPENING EFFECT
PROVIDED WITH HELICAL SPRINGS TO BRING
BACK CYLINDER AND PISTON TO INITIAL
POSITION
HYDRAULIC SHOCK
ABSORBER
 MONOTUBE HYDRAULIC
SHOCK ABSORBER

CONSISTS OF TWO CHAMBERS-

- OIL CHAMBER
- GAS CHAMBER
IT HAVE TWO PISTONS
- WORKING PISTON
- FLOATING PISTON
LARGE SURFACE AREA
HEAT DISSIPATED DIRECTLY TO
SURROUNDINGS
MONOTUBE HYDRAULIC
SHOCK ABSORBER
 MONOTUBE HYDRAULIC
SHOCK ABSORBER

ADVANTAGES
- LOW WEIGHT
- LARGER OIL CAPACITY
FASTER HEAT TRANSFER
- LOWER TENDENCY FOR SHOCK
ABSORBER FADE
- FORGED IN SINGLE PIECE,STRONGER
- MOUNTED AT ANY DESIRED ANGLE
 MONOTUBE HYDRAULIC
SHOCK ABSORBER

DISADVANTAGES
- BULKIER DESIGN
- EXPENSIVE
- LESS PROTECTION FROM PHYSICAL
DAMAGE
APPLICATION
- HIGH END PERFORMANCE CARS
SPORTS CARS
 TWINTUBE HYDRAULIC
SHOCK ABSORBER

CONSISTS OF TWO CYLINDERS

- INNER CYLINDER(WORKING TUBE)
- OUTER CYLINDER(RESERVE TUBE)
HAVE TWO VALVES
- BASE VALVE
- PISTON VALVE
SMALLER SIZE
PRESCENCE OF AIR GAP BETWEEN CYLINDERS
TWINTUBE HYDRAULIC
SHOCK ABSORBER
 TWINTUBE HYDRAULIC
SHOCK ABSORBER

ADVANTAGES
- SMALLER SIZE
- EASIER TO INSTALL
- LESS EXPENSIVE
- BETTER PROTECTION FROM PHYSICAL
DAMAGE
DISADVANTAGE
- CAVITATION
- SLOWER RATE OF HEAT TRANSFER TO
SURROUNDINGS
IT IS WIDELY USED IN AUTOMOBILES
 REGENERATIVE SHOCK
ABSORBER

IT CONVERTS INTERMITTENT LINEAR MOTION AND

VIBRATION INTO ENERGY
THIS ENERGY CAN BE HARNESSED
TWO METHODS
- ELECTROMAGNETIC RSA
- HYDRAULIC RSA
 HYDRAULIC REGENERATIVE
SHOCK ABSORBER

BASED ON HYDRAULIC ACTUATOR AND ENERGY

RECOVERY UNIT
INNOVATIVE METHOD FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION
AND FUEL CONSUMPTION
SUSPENSION VIBRATION CREATES FLUID FLOW
MOVEMENT OF FLUID IS USED TO PRODUCE
ENERGY
PRODUCED ENERGY IS IN THE FORM OF
ELECTRICAL ENERGY
HYDRAULIC REGENERATIVE
SHOCK ABSORBER

ENERGY PRODUCED USED TO

- CHARGE BATTERY
- RUN AIR CONDITIONER,LIGHTS etc
CONTROLS DAMPING OIL TEMPERATURE
IMPROVES RIDE QUALITY
IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY
INCREASED EFFICIENCY
HYDRAULIC REGENERATIVE
SHOCK ABSORBER

COMPONENTS
- HYDRAULIC ACTUATOR
- HYDRAULIC MOTOR
- CONNECTING TUBE
- HYDRAULIC ACCUMULATOR
- CHECK VALVES
- DC GENERATOR
- REGENERATIVE CIRCUIT
 MONO TUBE HYDRAULIC
REGENERATIVE SHOCK ABSORBER
 MONO TUBE HYDRAULIC
REGENERATIVE SHOCK ABSORBER

TRADITIONAL MONO TUBE SHOCK ABSORBER IS

REPLACED BY ACTUATOR
EXTENSION/REBOUND STROKE
- CHECK VALVE 1 CLOSES AND VALVE 2
OPENS
- HIGH PRESSURE OIL IN THE ROD
CHAMBER DRIVES THE MOTOR
- LOW PRESSURE OIL ENTERS THE
RODLESS CHAMBER THROUGH
CHECK VALVE 2
- ACCUMULATOR COMPENSATES
FOR THE CAVITY PRODUCED DUE TO
ROD EXTRACTION
 MONO TUBE HYDRAULIC
REGENERATIVE SHOCK ABSORBER

COMPRESSION STROKE
- CHECK VALVE 1 OPENS AND VALVE 2
CLOSES
- OIL FROM RODLESS CHAMBER
ENTERS ROD CHAMBER
- HIGH PRESSURE OIL FLOWS
THROUGH THE PUMP
- LOW PRESSURE OIL FLOWS BACK TO
THE ACCUMULATOR
FLOW IS UNIDIRECTIONAL
 TWIN TUBE HYDRAULIC
REGENERATIVE SHOCK ABSORBER
 TWIN TUBE HYDRAULIC
REGENERATIVE SHOCK ABSORBER

DEVELOPED USING TWIN TUBE SHOCK ABSORBER

PISTON VALVE AND BASE VALVE ARE
UNIDIRECTIONAL
COMPRESSION STROKE
- PISTON VALVE OPENS AND OIL
ENTERS ADDITIONAL CYLINDER
THIS DRIVES THE PUMP
- EXIT OIL FROM PUMP ENTERS THE
OUTER CYLINDER WITH GAS WHICH
ACTS AS ACCUMULATOR
 TWIN TUBE HYDRAULIC
REGENERATIVE SHOCK ABSORBER

EXPANSION STROKE
- BASE VALVE OPENS AND PISTON
VALVE CLOSES
- THIS PUSH PISTON AND THUS THE OIL
ABOVE PISTON AND IT DRIVES PUMP
ENERGY RECOVERY UNIT
 WHY THIS METHOD?

PIEZOELECTRIC AND ELECTROMAGNETIC

TRANSDUCERS PRODUCE POWER IN THE ORDER OF
MILLI OR MICRO WATTS
THIS IS INSUFFICIENT FOR MANY PURPOSES IN
VEHICLES SUCH AS
- CHARGING BATTERY
- AIR CONDITIONING
- LIGHTINGS etc
IN THIS CASE IT GENERATES POWER LARGE
ENOUGH TO RUN ABOVE MENTIONED APPLICATIONS
 CONCLUSION

CONVENTIONAL SHOCK ABSORBER CONVERTS

VIBRATION INTO HEAT
REGENERATIVE SUSPENSIONS BRING THE HOPE OF
USING THE WASTED ENERGY
WITH THE IMPROVING TECHNOLOGY IT MAY
BECOME A PROMISING TRENDS IN THE MODERN
AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
REFEERENCE
