A Water hydraulic Fluid Switching Transmission (FST) has many merits such as lower environmental load and lower energy loss. Especially, when combined with energy recovery, its energy efficiency can be improved considerably. In this research, the feasibility of a FST system was examined: in the first report, the rotational velocity control performance and kinematic energy regeneration were discussed. As a result, it was shown from experimental results that the error rate during a constant phase was within 5 percent and the recovered energy during a deceleration phase was more than 30 percent of the kinetic energy of the rotating load.
In this paper, the design simulator of the FST system was evaluated. First, a mathematical model of water hydraulic FST was derived in order to examine the rotational velocity control performance. Then the simulated system behaviors were compared with the experimental results. Since the results showed good agreement, the validity of the proposed mathematical model was confirmed. Moreover, the effects of design parameters of a FST system were also examined using the simulator.
