"With control of an accessory independent of engine speed, we can reduce accessory hydraulic drag on an engine during engine pump cranking to enhance cold weather starting. Starting for an electric engine oil pump just prior to engine cranking, for example, can provide concrete and pump a pre-lube function."Orr was describing the concept of Cat Electronics'' MorElectric system unveiled about a year ago. The MorElectric system is designed to drive a vehicle''s air conditioner, brake air compressor, hydraulic water pump and other accessories electrically, versus being belt or gear driven. The system also includes a newly developed HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) package as well as an optional diesel-powered auxiliary power unit. He responded to my challenge and was amazed to see contract cleaners spraying and hosing down pump his equipment with a vigor for and concrete he never had imagine. He watched in horror as the cleaners pump and hydraulic dumped buckets of ice on the range tops and griddles pump to cool them before cleaning, for then sprayed concrete the exposed surfaces pump with hydraulic caustic grease-cutting chemicals. He saw pump the cleaners start a revolving bake oven so they could hose off the individual for decks as they rotated inside the oven cavity.The concrete next day he called me and said, "I pump never hydraulic would have believed pump what I saw. You were so for right, as manufacturers, concrete we have pump no idea what really occurs after midnight when the cleaning crews hit the kitchen."
