Proud to have taken part in and been a partner of the Maha Conference 2024 at Purdue University from September 3rd to 5th.

The goal of the conference was to network, exchange ideas, and present the recent research trends in fluid power and motion control technologies: goal achieved in this edition as well.

Walvoil participated with its own contribution dedicated to a ‘Study and Experimental Application of an Energy Recovery System’ held by Andrea Polito.

Short abstract:
Experimental activity for the application of an Energy Recovery System on a 2.2t Compact Full-Electric Loader, arranged for material handling purpose.
The system is based on the innovative EPX directional control valve and provides for the possibility of immediate reuse of hydraulic power or its conversion for a battery storage.
The two regeneration approaches are compared experimentally and energetically, with particular attention to the criticalities of compact machines.
The influence of system parameters is also investigated and a new adaptive approach is proposed as an additional optimization opportunity.

Thanks again to Professor Andrea Vacca and his extraordinary team for the opportunity, and to the Walvoil colleagues involved!
