Abstract
A kinetic energy recovery system for a belt driven accessory system comprising a kinetic energy storage device, a driver having a driver output, a transmission having a gear ratio connected to the driver output, a belt driven accessory system connected to the transmission through a first clutch, the kinetic energy storage device connected to the belt driven accessory system through a second clutch, and the kinetic energy storage device and the transmission connectable through the first clutch and second clutch.
Claims10
A kinetic energy recovery system for a belt driven accessory system comprising:
- a kinetic energy storage device;
- a driver having a driver output;
- a transmission having a gear ratio that is connected to the driver output;
- a belt driven accessory system that is connected to the transmission through a first clutch;
- the kinetic energy storage device is connected to the belt driven accessory system through a second clutch;
- and the kinetic energy storage device and the transmission are connectable through the first clutch and second clutch.
A kinetic energy recovery system comprising:
- a kinetic energy storage device;
- a driver;
