Assessment of the starter motor system use powered by capacitive power sources on internal combustion engine

Abstract

The main power source of modern electric start systems for internal combustion engines is an acid-lead battery. Existence chemical reactions, which occur in between battery electrolyte and lead plates may be causes problems with it exploitation. For a many reasons, its operation requires a lot of labor, especially in cold conditions. In this regard, it was proposed to use a capacitor system electric supply taking in view its discharge characteristics. Electrolytic capacitors and supercapacitors are sources of temporary charge storage and have optimal properties for their use in the engine start system as a partial displacement of the acid-lead battery, against the background of its some negative qualities. The article deals with the evaluation and comparison of the electric motor start system from capacitors and supercapacitors, as well as the possibility of their implementation on a mobile machine equipped with ICE.
