PRINCIPLE TO CLOSED LOOP CONTROL DIFFERENTIAL CYLINDER WITH DOUBLE SPEED VARIABLE PUMPS AND SINGLE LOOP CONTROL SIGNAL

To control the position of differential cylinder closed loop without usingany throttle elements, a flew idea that two speed variable pumps are used to compensate thenon-symmetric flow of differential cylinder is carried out. According to the leaking property of thesystem, a speed offset principle is also proposed to eliminate the cavitation and tension caused bythe leakage and condensation of oil, which makes the system be in the same state as a valvecontrolled circuit. This principle is explained theoretically and experimentally. Further therelationship that the pressures in cylinder chambers change with load and leakage, and therelationship between biasing speed and pre-load pressures in cylinder chambers are established. Theresearch has proved that the new system has similar technique features as those of controlled withservo valves, but due to the elimination of all the throttle lose the efficiency of system can beimproved greatly.

Research on Energy Saving Technology of Load Sensitive Variable Steering System for Vehicles

In view of the large energy loss problem in the traditional full hydraulic steering system,a scheme of replacing the ordinary pump with the priority valve with the load sensitive variable pump is proposed to make the variable pump provide the corresponding flow rate according to the needs of the steering system to achieve the purpose of energy saving.Through the establishment of the system AMESim simulation model,the data comparison shows that the energy loss of the load sensitive variable steering system is significantly reduced relative to the traditional full hydraulic steering system.

Winter coastal upwelling off northwest Borneo in the South China Sea

Winter coastal upwelling off northwest Borneo in the South China Sea （SCS） is investigated by using satellite data, climatological temperature and salinity fields and reanalysis data. The upwelling forms in Decem- ber, matures in January, starts to decay in February and almost disappears in March. Both Ekman trans- port induced by the alongshore winter monsoon and Ekman pumping due to orographic wind stress curl are favorable for the upwelling. Transport estimates demonstrate that the month-to-month variability of Ekman transport and Ekman pumping are both consistent with that of winter coastal upwelling, but Ek- man transport is two times larger than Ekman pumping in January and February. Under the influence of E1 Nino-Southern Oscillation （ENSO）, the upwelling shows remarkable interannual variability： during winter of El Nino （La Nina） years, an anticyclonic （a cyclonic） wind anomaly is established in the SCS, which behaves a northeasterly （southwesterly） anomaly and a positive （negative） wind stress curl anomaly off the north- west Borneo coast, enhancing （reducing） the upwelling and causing anomalous surface cooling （warming） and higher （lower） chlorophyll concentration. The sea surface temperature anomaly （SSTA） associated with ENSO off the northwest Borneo coast has an opposite phase to that off southeast Vietnam, resulting in a SSTA seesaw pattern in the southern SCS in winter.
