Ways of adapting motor transport for the transportation of cargoes in low temperatures

Abstract

The efficiency of motor transport is largely determined by regional natural and climatic conditions. The main direction of economic activity in Amur region is the production of agricultural products, and the important natural and climatic factors significantly affecting the operation of motor transport are the state of the traffic surface, terrain relief and ambient temperature. In winter, when transporting the finished products, the temperature drops to −35 ... −45 degrees Celsius in some areas, which also imposes certain difficulties in the operation of motor transport. In this regard, in order to improve the efficiency of power resources in these conditions it is necessary to further adapt them to the conditions of use. The proposed article considers the issue of increasing the efficiency of power resources when they are operated at low temperatures through the use of thermoelectric devices, allowing, through the use of secondary energy sources, to improve the performance of the hydraulic system and electrical equipment of a motor vehicle.
