Sentences with phrase «transmission efficiency losses»

Electric transmission efficiency losses are greater than gas pipe losses.

When cruising, this lockup mechanism works to minimize transmission efficiency losses, contributing to improved fuel economy.

Not exact matches

The AfDB Vice President stated that it was eager to see improvement in energy efficiency and conservation along the energy value chain to reduce losses - production, transmission, distribution, and end - use inefficiencies.

Because the automatic transmission is linked to the engine by a fluid coupling, rather than by the mechanical clutch of a manual transmission, there is a potential loss of efficiency due to slippage.

Other changes include upgraded TorqueFlite eight - speed automatic transmissions, strategic weight reductions and innovations, such as quickly heating lubricants to reduce viscosity - related efficiency losses.

[2][7] However, while the dry - clutch variants may be limited in torque compared to their wet - clutch counterparts, the dry - clutch versions offer an increase in fuel efficiency, [2] due to the lack of pumping losses of the transmission fluid in the clutch housing.

How can you get better engine efficiency or better mileage with a CVT with more transmission friction loss than dual clutch units?

The Corolla's new CVTi - S is uses a lower viscosity CVT fluid that protects all of the transmission's internal parts while helping reduce parasitic loss to enhance efficiency and performance.

Specially designed grooves on the friction material which are integrated into the friction lining for oil flow and cooling provide very low losses at the clutch in the open state, enable high transmission efficiency and smooth shifting capability while increasing fuel economy.

The inevitable torque losses of an automatic transmission are eliminated with the dual - clutch transmission, since it operates with the high level of efficiency of a mechanical transmission.

While increased engine efficiency will be the main contributor, transmission systems account for 7 — 12 % of powertrain losses when converting fuel energy into motive power, so they also have an important role to play in helping to reduce emissions.

Because it uses clutches rather than a torque converter to transmit power, Twin Clutch SST allows superior power transmission efficiency with little loss of motive power and returns excellent fuel economy.

Friction - reducing design features, including all - new ultra-low viscosity transmission fluid, internal thermal bypass, minimal number of non-applied clutches and other lower mechanical spin losses, contribute to the 10 - speed's effect on improved vehicle efficiency.

The changes include upgraded TorqueFlite eight - speed automatic transmissions, strategic weight reductions and innovations, such as quickly heating lubricants to minimize viscosity - related efficiency losses.

An electric transmission oil pump eliminates another source of parasitic loss to further increase efficiency.

Greater efficiency is delivered through reduced «spin loss» — meaning, the transmission channels more of the engine's power to the axles, allowing it to do more with less fuel.

The Ford transmission team made several specific modifications to the 6F35 - Mid to optimize its performance for Fusion, including using unique final drive ratios for the 2.5 - liter and 3.0 - liter, developing an improved converter lock - up for lower operating temperatures and efficiency, recalibrating the converter clutch to accommodate a fuel - saving aggressive deceleration fuel shut - off system as well as other tweaks to diminish parasitic losses.

Proposed for the first two years are (1) laboratory end - to - end power efficiency measurements of laser to PV transmission and (2) field tests of beam atmospheric transmissivity losses.

Compare that with (say) a combined - cycle gas turbine (60 % efficient), minimal transmission losses (compared with transporting liquid fuels), high - efficiency batteries (~ 85 %) and electric motors (~ 85 %).

Even if a power plant were operating at 50 % efficiency (which I think is actually high and ignores transmission losses) this reduces the Leaf's MPG down to 50, which is good but in line with several very efficient traditional cars.

Despite the added complexities, embedded generation can improve the efficiency of delivery of power closer to its end - users, resulting in cost savings associated with line losses and transmission.

Net annual energy for load in New England (after accounting for energy efficiency measures, distributed solar, and transmission and distribution losses)

There is nothing different in comparison to the transmission of heat through a wall or from a wall to a fluid through a boundary layer: a loss of the efficiency of the transmission (increase of the thickness of the wall or of the boundary layer) is compensated by an increase of the temperature of the surface that yields the heat.
