Inhoudsopgave
Wat is het verschil tussen een parallel en een serie hybride?
Gecombineerde hybride motor Hierbij maak je dus zowel van een serie geschakelde hybride motor als van een parallel geschakelde hybride motor gebruik. Er zijn dus twee elektromotoren. De serie geschakelde elektromotor werkt in principe altijd als de auto rijdt.
Wat is een parallel hybride?
Een parallel-hybride-auto kan ‘parallel’ worden aangedreven door een elektromotor in combinatie met een verbrandingsmotor. Normaal gesproken zorgt de elektromotor voor de aandrijving.
What is the difference between series and parallel hybrids?
While both parallel and series hybrids feature a gasoline engine, electric motor, rechargeable battery, inverter and transmission, they are configured in uniquely different ways. According to Hybrid Center, the engine in a series hybrid is smaller than a parallel hybrid while the electric motor and battery are larger.
How does a parallel hybrid transmission work?
A sophisticated lightweight transmission can be designed to bypass the electric motor at cruising speed and connect the ICE directly to the wheels. The result is a parallel hybrid system, where the ICE and the electric motor work one at a time or in tandem, depending on what’s most efficient for the driving situation.
How does a series hybrid work?
In a series hybrid, the electric motor is solely responsible for turning the vehicle’s wheels. According to Hybrid Center, the electric motor is charged by the battery pack or by the generator, which is powered by the gasoline engine. The gasoline engine in a series hybrid is not coupled to the wheels and does not directly power the car.
Is a series/parallel drivetrain better than a parallel system?
Yet its efficiencies mean that the series/parallel drivetrain can perform better—and use less fuel—than either the series or parallel systems alone. Learn more about electric vehicle technology here, including its potential as a nationwide oil-saving solution.
