Due to the strengthening of air-quality regulations, researchers have been investigating methods to improve excavator energy efficiency. Many researchers primarily conducted simulation studies employing mathematical models to analyze the energy consumption of excavator systems, which is necessary to examine the fuel efficiency improvement margin and the improvement effect. However, to effectively study the improvement of excavator efficiency, the real-time energy consumption characteristics must be examined through simulations and analyses of actual equipment-based energy consumption. Accordingly, this study establishes an energy flow-down model for the entire excavator system based on actual equipment tests. A measurement system is built to measure the required data, thereby establishing an experimental methodology for modeling each component. This paper presents an excavator system energy flow-down methodology that integrates the energy flow-down model, measurement system, and experimental methodology. This methodology was applied to dig and dump operations, and the energy consumption characteristics were analyzed. An analysis of the operating modes indicates that 59.8% of the total fuel energy was consumed in the engine system, 17% in the hydraulic system, and 23.2% in the hydraulic actuation systems. The methodology can be used to help analysis of the fuel efficiency improvement margin under various conditions.

Energy achieved by burning fuel in an internal combustion engine (ICE) is divided into several main parts such as useful power, heat transfer for coolant system, energy of exhaust gases and mechanical losses. A detailed analysis of the quantity and distribution of these components will be an essential basis in the study of ICE improvement. In this paper, the authors present the calculation of energy distribution on D243 diesel engine through simulation on AVL-Boost. The results showed that the average thermal efficiency of the ICE during all operating modes was 25.8%. The total energy transfer for the coolant system and the heat of exhaust gases is 63.54% and reaches maximum 103.7 kW in rated mode. The acquired results can be used as a research basis to improve the economics and technical aspects of ICE such as optimization of working conditions of coolant and lubricating systems. As well as calculate the equipment of turbocharger or systems that utilize energy of exhaust gases and cooling water.

The purpose of this paper is to see if airlines in general, and U.S. air-carriers in particular, are meeting their IATA-agreed 1.5% average annual fuel efficiency improvements between 2010 and 2020. To assess the fuel efficiency performance, a quantitative analysis was performed using data provided by ICAO, IATA and the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Form 41 Schedules P 12(a) and T-2. The metric used to assess fuel efficiency is the one advanced by ICAO, namely Litres per Revenue Tonne Kilometre performed. Trends are examined over an extended timeframe to establish annual fuel efficiency improvements. The findings show that the overall performance of U.S. air-carriers from 2010 to 2018 has just met IATA’s 1.5% target with a 1.52% year-upon-year annual fuel efficiency improvement, with domestic operations showing a greater level of improvement than international operations. Such performance suggests that the U.S.A, and by inference, the rest of the world, are just likely to meet their IATA target by 2020. This achievement has largely been made possible through industry’s tremendous efforts to enhance aircraft engine technologies, implement operational improvements, and reduce airframe weight through the extensive application of composite materials.
