Heavy duty conditions

Durability. Grass-like surfaces intended for heavy-duty athletic use should have a service life of at least eight years, a common warranty period provided by suppHers. Lifetime is more or less proportional to the ultraviolet (uv) exposure (sunlight) and to the amount of face ribbon available for wear, but pile density and height also have an effect. Color is a factor generally uv absorption is highest with red fabrics and least with blue. In addition, different materials respond differendy to abrasive wear. These effects caimot be measured except in simulated field use and controlled laboratory experiments, which do not necessarily redect field conditions. 

Additions of cadmium (0.05—1.3%) to copper raise the recrystallization temperature and improve the mechanical properties, especially in cold-worked conditions, with relatively Htde reduction in conductivity. Copper containing 0.07% cadmium is used in automotive cooling fins, heavy-duty radiators, motor commutators, and electric terminals. 

More importantly, such alloys also possess a very low temperature coefficient of electrical resistance (of the order of 220 idQ.IQ.rC, typical), which causes only a marginal change in its resistance value with variation in temperature. They can therefore ensure a near-consistent predefined performance of the motor for which the resistance grid is designed, even after frequent starts and stops. They are also capable of absorbing shocks and vibrations during stringent service conditions and are therefore suitable for heavy-duty drives, such as steel mill applications. 

A considerable range of different toppings is available for heavy-duty service. The correct selection of the most appropriate topping on a cost/performance basis can only be made if service conditions are very clearly defined. In general, heavy-duty toppings require a sound (preferably 35N/mm strength) concrete substrate. 

In one series of laboratory tests carried out to find the optimum wear resistance of heavy-duty epoxy resin flooring compositions, a number of different abrasion resistant materials were evaluated using BS 416, employing three different epoxy resin binders which themselves had significantly differing chemical compositions and mechanical properties. The results of this work, which was carried out under dry conditions, are given in Table 9.1. As can be seen from the table, the selection of the abrasion-resistant material and the resin matrix both influence the abrasion resistance of the system, although the abrasive material incorporated appears to play a more cmcial role. 

CE Service typical of certain turbocharged or supercharged heavy-duty diesel engines operating under both low speed-high load and high speed-low load conditions. Oils designed for this service must also meet the requirements specified for CC and CD classifications. 

Variations of flame temperatures with exhaust-gas recirculation. Flame temperature maps are obtained by processing images obtained from a combustion chamber of a heavy-duty diesel engine using two-color pyrometry. Images are taken at 2° after the TDC at 1200rpm low-load condition. 

Emission control from heavy duty diesel engines in vehicles and stationary sources involves the use of ammonium to selectively reduce N O, from the exhaust gas. This NO removal system is called selective catalytic reduction by ammonium (NH3-SGR) and it is additionally used for the catalytic oxidation of GO and HGs.The ammonia primarily reacts in the SGR catalytic converter with NO2 to form nitrogen and water. Excess ammonia is converted to nitrogen and water on reaction with residual oxygen. As ammonia is a toxic substance, the actual reducing agent used in motor vehicle applications is urea. Urea is manufactured commercially and is both ground water compatible and chemically stable under ambient conditions [46]. 

SCR for heavy-duty vehicles reduces NOx emissions by 80%, HC emissions by 90% and PM emissions by 40% in the EU test cycles, using current diesel fuel (<350 ppm sulphur) [27], Fleet tests with SCR technology show excellent NOx reduction performance for more than 500000 km of truck operation. This experience is based on over 6 000 000 km of accumulated commercial fleet operation [82], The combination of SCR with a pre-oxidation catalyst, a hydrolysis catalyst and an oxidation catalyst enables higher NOx reduction under low-load and low-temperature conditions [83],... 

Fire extinguishment behavior of the FRC materials using Halon 1301 was quantified with a horizontal 0.10 x 0.10 m sample with edges covered tightly with heavy duty aluminum foil. The sample surface was exposed to 60 kW/m of external heat flux. Experiments were performed under forced air flow conditions, where Halon 1301 was added to the inlet air flow such that fire remained well ventilated. 

Heavy-duty utility trucks Space conditioning Can operate when main engine unavailable... 

Mixing. Nitrocellulose is introduced into the process as alcohol-wet material in a lumpy condition. Depending on the needs of the subsequent process, it may be subjected to agitation in heavy duty mixers to reduce the size of the lumps. 

A variable field d-c motor generator was used by the submitters. In lieu of such equipment, the checkers used a 120-volt d-c source with a heavy-duty resistor in the circuit. Occasionally, a film of polymeric material may form on the anode and reduce the current flow. This condition may be corrected by reversing the current flow for a period of 5-10 seconds. A suitable control circuit is diagrammed in Fig. 1. 

Examples of the results obtained with the spatially ID model utilizing global NSRC kinetics are given in Figs. 26-33. The reaction kinetic model was validated with real exhaust measurement data from passenger car and heavy-duty commercial vehicle to ensure applicability in the full range of operating conditions encountered. The kinetic equations and the parameters were kept constant for all validation calculations. 

Property Summary Nylons are recommended for general-purpose gears and other mechanical components. Acetals for maximum fatigue life, for highly accurate parts, or exposure to extremely humid conditions. Phenolic-fabric laminates for low-cost, thin stamped gears or parts. Polycarbonates for intermittent, very high impacts (not recommended for applications involving repeated cyclical stress). TFE-filled acetals for heavy-duty applications.
