Abstract

Mobile machinery manufacturers must face and deal with reducing fuel consumption, rising prices, and environmental pollution. The development of methods to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the energy performance of hydraulically actuated systems has become a priority for researchers and OEMs, Original Equipment Manufacturers. In this paper, a new methodology that is based on Key Performance Indicators, KPI, is proposed with different goals: (i) to evaluate the energy performance and the monitoring of its evolution in the different stages of its life cycle (design, commissioning, optimization, retrofit, etc.); (ii) compare the energy levels between machines of different sizes and different brands in a benchmarking process; and (iii) establish a database that is state of the art, which facilitates setting achievable goals or limits for improvement. These KPI values can be deduced simply from the energy balances that were made from the experimental study of various machines over a relatively long period. This methodology has been applied to typical hydraulic systems for lifting and lowering loads that are used in a wide variety of mobile machines of different mechanical designs and sizes. Still, it can be included in the generic name of “loaders”. A KPI’s values for the three machines are presented in a dashboard as a decision-making tool.
