  • Patent number: 11663862
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing a part of a crank case ventilation system of an engine operable in different engine running conditions, the system comprising an electrically driven crank case ventilation, eCCV, separator. The method comprises determining a compared power consumption of the eCCV separator by comparing a current power consumption indicative value of the eCCV separator with a reference value; determining whether or not the compared power consumption achieved as pre-set criteria; and diagnosing a fault in the system in response to determining that the compared power consumption achieves the pre-set criteria.

  • Patent number: 11591190
    Abstract: A hydraulic crane comprising: —a rotatable column (7); —a crane boom system (10) comprising two or more liftable and lowerable crane booms (11, 13); and —an electronic control device (25), which is configured to prevent an execution of crane boom movements that would make the lifting moment of the crane exceed the maximum allowed lifting moment of the crane, and to continuously establish position information as to the prevailing position of the load suspension point (P) of the crane boom system. When the lifting moment of the crane has reached a limit value at a given level below the maximum allowed lifting moment, the electronic control device is configured to prevent the execution of any combination of crane boom movements that would increase the horizontal distance between the load suspension point and said vertical axis of rotation and at the same time allow the execution of any combination of crane boom movements that keeps said horizontal distance unchanged or reduces said horizontal distance.

  • Patent number: 11235692
    Abstract: A vehicle, equipment for loading a load carrying device onto the vehicle, and a sensor that determines a deviation angle between longitudinal axes of the vehicle and load carrying device. A control compares the deviation angle to a maximum deviation angle, and if less than maximum deviation angle a loading procedure is performed, which procedure includes engaging a loading tool with an attachment part at an end of the load carrying device; lifting the end by the loading tool while another end of the load carrying device is on the ground; adjusting the vehicle position to decrease the deviation angle while the working equipment lifts the end of the load carrying device; monitoring the deviation angle during adjustment, comparing the deviation angle to a threshold deviation angle, and moving the load carrying device onto the vehicle in response to the deviation angle being less than the threshold deviation angle.

  • Patent number: 10836613
    Abstract: A hydraulic crane comprising: —a rotatable column (7); —a crane boom system comprising a first crane boom (11) connected to the column; and —an electronic control device for controlling the movement of the column and the crane boom system on the basis of control signals from a manoeuvring unit and a calculation model for boom tip control. The control device is configured to switch from a first control mode into a second control mode when the first crane boom is about to interfere with an obstacle. In the first control mode, the control device controls the crane boom movements in accordance with an ordinary control strategy. In the second control mode, the control device makes the load suspension point (P) of the crane boom system move along the trajectory defined by said control signals while controlling the crane boom movements in accordance with an auxiliary control strategy in which the first crane boom is prevented from interfering with the obstacle.

  • Patent number: 10429864
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for post installation adjustment of a climate system including determining a desired change of at least one radiator flow, determining a change of at least one Cv-value required to achieve the desired flow change, using a software implemented model of the system to automatically calculate a set of radiator flow changes resulting from the change of at least one Cv-value, identifying a subset of radiator flow changes from the set of radiator flow changes which have a perceivable impact on system performance, and repeating the above steps until the subset is empty. The iteration allows an operator to determine a complete set of Cv adjustments that will provide the desired radiator flow change(s) while (as far as possible) leaving other radiator flows unchanged.
