Design and Fabrication of Power Shovel (original) (raw)

2016, Journal of emerging technologies and innovative research

Traditional methods have played an important role in energy saving of hydraulic power shovel. However, the Power shovels are still working with low fuel efficiency and bad exhaust. So, new technologies are urgently needed to further reduce fuel consumption and pollutant emissions .Researchers has begun to focus hybrid technology of hydraulic power shovel. This paper systematically analyzes the performance of motorized controlled power shovel. The use of automated technology results in reductions in fuel consumption (as a very low amount of fuel is used) and finishes working time. This also contributes to lower both environmental impact (i.e. global warming, acidification, ozone depletion and eco-toxicity) and the related cost. As power shovels are frequently used in construction sites, but this situation brings it significant health and safety hazards that often are not fully appreciated by stakeholders. So, Automation and Remote controlled arrangement help to overcome the problem of safety hazards.
