0 i-ELOOP, Regenerative Braking System Version Mazda

Mazda to see the hybrid technology is still too expensive to be sold in the global market, car package. Not all consumers can buy fuel-efficient hybrid vehicles. Especially, if you do not get special tax incentives to reduce prices. The reality is that what makes the Mazda fuel efficiency of using other technologies.

Mazda SKYACTIV after the release of the new technology, use efficiency through i-ELOOP, all new Mazda 6. The of i-ELOOP the concept change of kinetic energy into electrical energy when the car brakes. Say the technology is known as regenerative braking system. Capacitor to store energy when the car deceleration how it works.

Unlike the automotive electrical system, the use of the AC generator as a power source when the engine the i-ELOOP of alternative Be the altenator the role of the capacitance. In the I-ELOOP, altenator still use, but not as a major supplier of automotive electrical systems, but the conversion of kinetic energy into electrical energy. The specifications altenatornya also because it can generate a different power range from 12 to 25 volts (approximately 12-14 volt altenator normal). Altenator the i-ELOOP system is still in the charging current, the car battery similar to the traditional system.

When the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal is released, and the wheel is still spinning machine and slowly reduced speed reducer trampling. When the 25-volt force deceleration altenator work to convert the kinetic energy into electrical energy. Power (charging) capacitor completely. Mazda claims, the capacitor can be fully charged only 7-10 seconds.

The electric power stored in the capacitor, when the car is running (step the gas pedal), will be used to support all of the automotive electrical components. But earlier, converter convert voltage from 25 volts to 12 volts capacitor, to adapt to the automotive electrical appliances, such as air conditioning, lighting, sound, and more demand. Under the conditions of (full charge), the capacitor power supply for 1 minute.

When the capacitor is discharged on the power supply, it will automatically re-filling stepped on the brake or deceleration (sliding car stepping on the gas pedal). This occurs, continued, until the formation of a complete chain running car. To this end, Mazda calls this technology i-ELOOP smart energy cycle or abbreviation.

At first i-system ELOOP altenator role is no longer used as a power source (accelerator pedal) as the car accelerates. This situation makes the engine work is so easy. No more power, fuel consumption can be saved to open altenator. Mazda that can reduce fuel consumption by up to 10% i-ELOOP of. The efficiency performance largest urban road conditions the i-ELOOP more than stop-and-go.

The I-ELOOP get technical support i-STOP, but also the operation of all new Mazda 6. When the i-STOP is enabled, the engine will die the rest automatically open when the accelerator pedal stampede. When the engine is turned off, the capacitor will provide the time than the electric car system i-ELOOP.

In particular, the capacitors used in the i-ELOOP maintenance freedom despite frequent charge and discharge several times in succession. "Capacitor does not need treatment or diservice." She is almost no limit, "Kajiyama said Hiroshi, Mazda 6, Mazda Motor Corporation, the project manager at the Auto Bild found in France (28/9).
