  • Publication number: 20130087522
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the load torque limitation of a work vehicle comprising a jib, in particular a mobile crane comprising a multi-part, preferably hydraulically movable jib or telescoping jib, wherein on the basis of captured operating parameters of the work vehicle such as pressure, angle, length, configuration and the like from at least one multi-dimensional characteristic map a load value is determined and compared to a load limit value which is determined depending upon the captured operating parameters, wherein a warning is issued and/or the operation of the work vehicle is automatically interrupted when the actual load value exceeds the load limit value, wherein depending upon the captured operating parameters a value for a potential total energy of the work vehicle is calculated, taking into account the configuration of the work vehicle, and the unknown load value is determined on the basis of said value.

  • Patent number: 7455239
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cooling system in which the fan output is determined by an output control from the characteristic curves of the fan motor, the operating parameters of the cooling system and the reference input variables predetermined in the form of temperature levels. Different characteristic curves for the activation of the fan motor are here assigned to the different set temperature levels. If the reference input variable for the control changes, this also results in a change of the characteristic curves for activation of the fan motor. In order to prevent the fan motor starting to howl, in the event of a change in the reference input variable for the fan control the operation of the fan motor is kept constant for an adjustable minimum waiting time.
