I think xnuke already said this, but let me try to rephrase it.
What may be confusing is that what you are calling 'faster response', is not necessarily rotational speed. If you give your infinite damping system a step input it has fast response because it's already at it's steady state speed...
I think the your question is too broad & difficult to answer. A controls text book would be a good place to start. Do you have Simulink? They have quite a bit of tutorials and examples that could help too.
Mike, the doc you linked is mostly for FLA, trojan says do not equalize AGM.
Trojan and lifeline have very different recommendations. Lifeline does recommend 14.3, and they don't put a limit on current. Trojan recommends 20% of capacity. Trojan says do not equalize, lifeline says you can...
Weekly equalization? Wouldn't that shorten the life? Lifeline says do it only if you have to. What happens to the battery if the voltage is you high, as long as it doesn't get too hot?
I have an inverter running from the van 12V system as you've described. The lifeline guy I talked to said that 14.1 was close enough to the 14.3 +/- 0.1 that they recommend. I also have the temperature sensor with the xantrex. I have a trimetric battery monitor which includes voltage & I've...
Yes, there are 3 chargers, xantrex, alternator, solar CC.
My usage profile: daily use is about 30 ah (20%). A short drive or some good sun if I'm parked will get me back to 90%. That last 10% can take a while. Some days there's no sun and I don't drive. On a trip this year, with little sun...
I have a lifeline 150 ah AGM battery in a campervan. I have a trimetric battery monitor. The charging system consists of the van alternator (about 14.1V, 220 Amps), a xantrex 60 amp charger, and a 100 W portable solar panel. When driving I can charger from either the charger or the van...
I know what enrichment is, but why would you do that at part throttle? I can understand wot enrichment, but seems like less than wot would be stoichiometric.
I realize this isn't an engineering question, but more engineering economy, but I'm sure someone here will have some wisdom[bigsmile]. Diesel fuel costs about 25% more than regular gas right now. Is this here to stay because of the requirement for low sulfer now? If it isn't that, is there...
I can see that going slowing on the climb is going to save gas, but so would slower on the flats.
The rollercoaster highway (Lionel's example) may be a special case where it makes sense. Most of the hills that I drive on are not like that.
I should probably run some calcs on this, but it...
The hypermilers have this technique they call driving with load DWL.
In a nutshell the technique is to hold a constant load on the climb, keeping the fuel consumption constant while allowing the speed to drop.
