  • Publication number: 20130063893
    Abstract: A discharge system of a stored energy for a construction machine is provided, which includes the energy storage, an electric discharge device discharging energy stored in the energy storage, and an energy cooling portion increasing the heat dissipation capacity of the electric discharge device by cooling heat generated in the electric discharge device for a time when the energy stored in the energy storage is discharged to the electric discharge device. Since the heat generated in the electric discharge device is cooled by a cooling device while the energy stored in the energy storage is discharged to the electric discharge device, the heat dissipation capacity of the electric discharge device is increased to shorten the discharge time. Also, the operation period of the cooling device is controlled in proportion to the residual voltage of the energy storage, and thus the cooling efficiency is maximized.
