D f = Fuel Density<br />

A typical value of fuel density is<br />

854g/liter. (Range 849-960g/l)<br />

A typical BSFC value for mining duty<br />

diesel engines in loaders, excavators and<br />

trucks is 200g/kW.hr. (Range 180g/kW.hr<br />

for highly efficient engines to 250g/kW.hr<br />

for less efficient engines)<br />

Transposing the formula to give max fuel<br />

burn at 100% engine load, on typical BSFC.<br />

Example 4. Fuel consumption at 100%<br />

Engine Load<br />

Engine Power = 940kW @ 1800RPM<br />

BSFC = 200g/kW.hr<br />

<br />

A typical electric drive wheel loader has<br />

an average engine load factor of 39%(Fleet<br />

2012), compared to 60%+ for mechanical<br />

systems. This is due to regenerated power<br />

being fed back on electric drive wheel<br />

loaders, and used to power the units<br />

hydraulic systems. On power regeneration,<br />

fuel to the engine is cut off, resulting in the<br />

significantly lower average engine load<br />

factor.<br />

Fuel cost comparison of a typical 15m³<br />

Hydraulic shovel versus 19m³ electric wheel<br />

loader, as described in the productivity<br />

details on previous page.<br />

Hydraulic shovel 15m³<br />

Engine Power 940kW@1800 RPM<br />

Fuel Consumption:-<br />

at 100% Engine Load = 220 lph<br />

at 65% Average Cycle Load = 143 lph<br />

Over 5000 hours = 715,000 litres<br />

Fuel Consumption<br />

19m³ Electric Drive Wheel Loader<br />

Engine Power 899kW @ 1800RPM<br />

Fuel Consumption<br />

at 100% Engine Load = 208 lph<br />

at 39% Average Cycle Load = 81 lph<br />

Over 5000 hours = 405,000 litres<br />

Fuel Consumption<br />

Showing a 310,000L fuel saving for the<br />

same production, over a 5000 hour / one year<br />

period.<br />

Major engine overhauls are typically<br />

based on fuel consumed.<br />

While life-to-overhaul can be expressed in<br />

hours, some diesel engine manufacturers<br />

prefer to focus on average design life-tooverhaul<br />

in terms of liters of fuel consumed<br />

as a more accurate measure which better<br />

reflects high engine load operating factors.<br />

Depending upon duty cycle, the average<br />

design life-to-overhaul for a 2MW mining<br />

duty engine exceeds 3,785,000 liters of fuel<br />

consumed and for 1.5MW this is 3,312,000<br />

liters. (Cummins, 2008)<br />

Electric drive wheel loaders having fuel<br />

saving technology, provide major engine<br />

overhaul at over 20,000 operational hours.<br />

Fewer mechanical parts on an electric<br />

drive wheel loader, result in reduced parts<br />

and lubrication usage and reduced<br />

maintenance costs.<br />

4 MAINTENANCE<br />

Critical components to maintain on an<br />

electric drive wheel loader are the engine,<br />

tires and hydraulic systems. (Fleet, 2012)<br />

Tire life can be extended with use of tire<br />

chains. (Ozdogan, 2012)<br />

Engine, hydraulic and welding<br />

maintenance requirements are similar to any<br />

other hydraulic excavator or mechanical<br />

wheel loader<br />

Switched Reluctance wheel motors only<br />

require new bearings on high hour overhauls.<br />

(Fleet, 2012)<br />

Modern electronic control systems on<br />

electric drive wheel loaders provide a stable<br />

electrical maintenance platform.<br />

As primary loading tools, electric drive<br />

wheel loaders are equipped with full service<br />

operational and maintenance trouble<br />

shooting controls systems, to assist with<br />

productivity and maintenance management.<br />
