e-comp Electrically Driven Compressor
In addition some applications require the vehicle to drive only in electrical mode for some hundreds of meters. As the combustion engine is shut off during these periods a conventional flanged compressor would be unable to deliver air.
Additionally high air consumption (e.g. in city bus applications) needs high air delivery in short time, to achieve acceptable duty cycles.
The WABCO e-Comp is designed to provide an efficient and environmentally friendly solution for these vehicles with hybrid drivelines.
Features
- Independent electrically driven twin cylinder compressor with possibility of smart control
- The ideal air supply solution for brakes and other air demands in vehicles with hybrid drivelines
- Can be positioned independently from the engine
- Additional options:
- CAN controlled electronic converter
- Complete package including an APU and electronic converter
- Smaller one cylinder versions, only air cooled
Benefits
- A smart, advanced and robust energy-saving solution capable of using energy stored in high-voltage batteries or capacitors.
- No energy consumption during compressor idle phases
- Reduced level of oil products in the air system
- Reduced duty cycles compared to conventional flanged compressors due to independent variable compressor speed and a high FAD even at 12,5 bar
- Reduced wear and tear because compressor working conditions are much better than in standard systems
- Safety enhanced through improved reliability in hybrid vehicle applications.
- Low vibration in the vehicle, based on improved vibration absorption
- Reliable performance also at minus ambient temperatures (-40°C - +65°C)
- Easy maintenance as the compressor part of the unit runs with standard motor oil
Application
- Trucks
- Buses
