Estudo da eficiência energética pneumática no sistema de abertura de portas de veículos de transporte de passageiros "ônibus"

Abstract

In pneumatics, the path to greater energy efficiency will careful engineering to configure the solutions based on real needs, the implementation of consistent energy efficiency targets in applications. The aim of this study is to conduct a study of opportunities for improvement in air circuits, the coach of a Novo Hamburgo company, to provide increased energy efficiency and operational availability of the bus equipment avoiding the waste of energy in air pneumatic components. The use of pneumatic energy is perhaps one of the most common applications on buses and though so common, few pay attention to the fact that the energy waste that can exist due to the inappropriate use, since the bus compressed air is not only used in opening and closing doors. This subject is of great importance, since the form of compressed air treatment, both in its generation and its network of operations as in its consumption, has an immediate impact on the maintenance of equipment and the involvement of hand labor automatically reflected in financial industry, a view that should be used in a correct and rational way. Thus the proposal made in this work a "checklist" for the detection of leaks in pneumatic circuits is to contribute to the reduction of energy waste and compromising vehicle performance.
