Abstract (en)

In down ride phases of electrohydraulic drive lifts, the motor-driven pump unit (1) is caused to rotate in the same or the opposite direction with respect to the one operating in the up ride phases without the help of special electronic devices controlling the motor (allowing or not allowing energy recovery). Having reached the rated speed of the motor-driven pump and the network frequency applied to the motor, the unit carries out a function of brake for the outlet of the operating fluid, causing a pressure that sustains the hydraulic circuit and the closing of valve (6) for the connection to pump (2). In this way a non electronic control is obtained of the down ride speed by electric motor (3) and of motor-driven pump (2). In such conditions, the electric motor can operate as a generator, possibly giving back energy to the feed line. Such action allows to obtain also a drastic reduction in temperature increase of the operating fluid. <IMAGE>
