|HYDRAULIC DRIVE SYSTEM FOR CONSTRUCTION MACHINE - A main relief valve
|HYDRAULIC DRIVE SYSTEM FOR CONSTRUCTION MACHINE - A hydraulic drive system for a construction machine allows automatic changes of the operational characteristics of a boom directional control valve by judging whether or not a hydraulic boom cylinder needs driving pressure at the time of a boom lowering operation.
|HYDRAULIC DRIVE SYSTEM FOR CONSTRUCTION MACHINE - A hydraulic drive system for a construction machine has a travel detection device which detects whether or not the operation mode is a traveling operation and a setting changing device. The setting changing device sets the target differential pressure of load sensing control at an absolute pressure Pa when the operation mode is not a traveling operation, and sets the target differential pressure of the load sensing control at an absolute pressure Pa′ rather than the absolute pressure Pa. In this way, in the actuator operation other than traveling, a necessary actuator speed can be obtained and supplied with the necessary maximum flow rate. In addition, during the combined operation, a flow rate in accordance with the opening area ratios of flow control valves can be distributed to actuators different in load pressure from one another; and energy efficiency is enhanced due to less energy loss during traveling operation.
|HYDRAULIC DRIVE SYSTEM FOR CONSTRUCTION MACHINE HAVING EXHAUST GAS PURIFICATION DEVICE - A hydraulic drive system executing load sensing control is capable of efficiently combusting and removing filter deposits inside an exhaust gas purification device by pump output power increasing control when there is no actuator operation, eliminating interference between the actuator operation and the pump output power increasing control. A first solenoid selector valve selects between tank pressure and delivery pressure of a pilot pump. A second solenoid selector valve is arranged in a line leading the output pressure of a differential pressure reducing valve to an LS control valve for selecting between enabling and disabling of the load sensing control. When the exhaust gas purification device needs regeneration, a controller executes switching to make the first solenoid selector valve output the delivery pressure of the pilot pump as dummy load pressure and to make the second solenoid selector valve disable the load sensing control.
|HYDRAULIC DRIVE SYSTEM FOR WORKING MACHINE INCLUDING TRACK DEVICE OF CRAWLER TYPE - A hydraulic drive system for a track device of crawler type has right and left hydraulic track motors. The hydraulic drive system is capable of correcting for skew occurring in the straight line traveling of the track device. A traveling test is conducted upon shipment from a factory. If skew is noted during the test, a plug disposed on the side of a valve opening-side pressure receiving portion of a pressure compensating valve for the track which is lower in speed is removed and, replaced with an adjusting mechanism-mounted plug having an adjusting pin. The pin is operated so as to strengthen a biasing force of a target compensating differential pressure adjusting spring. An opening in the pressure compensating valve is thereby corrected in an opening direction and a flow rate to one of the left and right track motors is thereby adjusted to be equal to the other motor.
|CONSTRUCTION MACHINE HYDRAULIC DRIVE SYSTEM HAVING EXHAUST GAS PURIFYING DEVICE - A construction machine hydraulic drive system that performs load sensing control is capable of efficiently burning and removing deposits on a filter in an exhaust gas purifying device through pump output increasing control and to be free from faults in the pump output increasing control even when an actuator is operated during the pump output increasing control. A solenoid switching valve is switched so that output pressure of an engine speed detecting valve is guided to a pressure receiving portion of an LS control valve and a pressure receiving portion of an unloading valve when a start of regeneration is not directed, and delivery pressure of a pilot pump is guided to the pressure receiving portion and the pressure receiving portion when the start of the regeneration is directed, to thereby disable load sensing control to increase capacity of a main pump and increase set pressure of the unloading valve.
|HYDRAULIC DRIVE SYSTEM FOR CONSTRUCTION MACHINE - A hydraulic motor (
|CONSTRUCTION MACHINE - A control pressure switching valve is disposed between a displacement regulator and a pressure control valve. The control pressure switching valve is switched between a control position (j), in which a load sensing control pressure (PLS) is permitted to be outputted from the pressure control valve to the displacement regulator, and a control release position (k), in which the load sensing control pressure (PLS) to be outputted to the displacement regulator is reduced to a prescribed low pressure value. When the regeneration of a filter is determined to be necessary, the controller switches the control pressure switching valve to the control release position (k). When the load sensing control pressure (PLS) is reduced to the low pressure value with the control pressure switching valve switched to the control release position (k), the displacement regulator increases a delivery displacement of a hydraulic pump, thereby increasing rotational load of an engine.

U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (NGP Photo) today applauded the Department of Energy's authorization for Alaska's proposed liquefied natural gas project (LNG) to export to countries with free trade agreements (FTA) with the United States.
The decision authorizes exports to South Korea and other nations FTA with the United States. A separate authorization is needed to ship LNG to non-FTA countries.
"This FTA license is good news for Alaska, but by law it had to be approved. The real test is the non-FTA license," Murkowski said. "I am watching the process carefully to ensure there are no unnecessary delays in approving exports to Japan and other non-FTA countries. I have said from the beginning that DOE should continue to consider Alaska gas exports on their own separate track – as they always have."
Murkowski is the top Republican on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

KTNA Radio: Listen to the Audio. The State of Alaska has made many attempts to build a gas pipeline. Currently, a lot of effort is being put into the Alaska LNG Project, a partnership between the state, the three largest oil producers, and Trans-Canada. The project recently held an open-house meeting in Trapper Creek.

10-29-14 Stick With Both Pipeline Projects For The Time Being
ADN by Dermot Cole. Gov. Sean Parnell argues that the Alaska Stand Alone Pipeline is a priceless insurance policy against the possibility that the oil companies will decide by 2019 that they do not want to build a larger pipeline.
Challenger Bill Walker counters that it is a pricey plan that would ensure energy costs in Anchorage would go up. He wants to stop spending money on ASAP as soon as possible.
Parnell said the two gas lines should be pursued for the same reason that the proposed Susitna-Watana dam should remain in the mix for Alaska's energy future -- it's not clear yet which one is the best bet.
The list of mega-projects should not be trimmed "until we have something in hand for Alaskans," Parnell said.
"Yes, everything has to be on the table, yes you have to prioritize spending," he said in a recent Anchorage Chamber of Commerce debate.
ADN Op-Ed (Currently appearing in other publications as well), by John Burns. This political season is generating much debate about Alaska's public investment in developing a North Slope natural gas pipeline. As chairman of the board for the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation, I've been intimately involved in both alternatives currently being advanced -- the Alaska Stand Alone Pipeline (ASAP) and the Alaska LNG project. I can assure you that we are progressing both options in the most prudent and cost-efficient manner. The ultimate goal is to select the project that is in our state's best long-term interests. Now is not the time to abandon either.

EIA.gov data also shows that the price of a barrel of oil fluctuates over time. In 2008, crude oil sold for $96.94 a barrel, four years later the price rose to $108.56. What we do know is the price of a barrel of oil will rise and fall and the U.S. economy will continue to buy crude oil. Which brings us back to Keystone XL. Pipelines, such as the Trans-Alaska Pipeline or the Colonial Pipeline which runs from Houston, TX to Linden, NJ, are vital to powering the U.S. economy. Just as an airline or rental car company is vital for a business traveler, pipelines are critically important for an economy.
National Journal's Energy Edge: EPA Announces New Steps in Clean-Power Plan*David Holt Quoted
"A farmer may not grow as much corn next season because speculation is driving down prices, but that doesn't mean that he will walk away from the crop, that fertilizer companies will stop producing fertilizer or that manufacturers will stop building tractors. Apply the same logic to Keystone XL versus lower oil prices and you quickly dismiss any argument against pipeline construction." —David Holt, president, Consumer Energy Alliance
The Energy Voice: How Affordable Energy Helps Keep Healthcare Affordable
Hospitals hum with energy from nurses, doctors and a cast of support staff who provide care and treatment to help the sick heal. Healthcare professionals rely on their skills as well as facilities and equipment to provide care, all of which requires dependable sources of energy. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, healthcare facilities consume close to 10 percent of the total energy used in commercial buildings in the United States. A cost the federal government estimates to be more than $8 billion a year.

We know two Members of Alaska's Congressional Delegation who oppose President Obama's irresponsible use of Executive Orders and EPA's preemptive blockage of projects which destroys the concept of "due process" and "Rule of Law".
Here, the President has, by fiat, created the "San Gabriel National Monument", without public input. We would hope that our Democrat Senator, Mark Begich (NGP Photo), could prevail on the President -- along with his Republican colleagues -- to avoid such unilateral actions which we could otherwise see repeated before 2016 in Alaska and other resource rich states. -dh
Senate Energy Committee Communications Guru Robert Dillon writes us that, "The Wall Street Journal opinion page yesterday took the Obama administration to the woodshed for failing to take advantage of the historic opportunity to improve our security and economy by strengthening energy ties with Canada and Mexico."
In a violent, disordered world, the disagreements among the U.S., Canada and Mexico are minor. The benefits of uniting the economies of these three huge, peaceful nations are real. But it will require a U.S. presidential candidate with some of Prime Minister Harper's vision to make it happen.

Alaska Delegation Letter To DOE
Alaska Delegation Urges DOE to Approve Alaska LNG Export Application
U.S. Sens. Lisa Murkowski, (NGP Photo), Senator Mark Begich (NGP Photo) and Congressman Don Young, R-Alaska, last week called on the Department of Energy to expeditiously approve a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export license to ensure Alaska's stranded natural gas resources reach market.
In a letter sent to Director of the Division of Natural Gas Regulatory Activities John Anderson, the delegation detailed the Alaska LNG Project's plans to export LNG to both free-trade agreement (FTA) and non-free trade Agreement (non-FTA) countries, as well as its importance to the state's future.
"The Alaska LNG Project would be the largest integrated natural gas, LNG project of its kind ever designed and constructed, with an estimated cost of $45 billion to $65 billion," the delegation wrote. "No other single project is as important to Alaska's economic future as this massive infrastructure project."
The developers of the Alaska LNG Project – Exxon Mobil, ConocoPhillips, BP, and the pipeline company TransCanada – are seeking a license to export 2.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day for 30 years. To date, the largest volume of LNG approved for export by DOE was 2.2 Bcf a day for the Sabine Pass project in Louisiana. DOE has also typically approved licenses for 20 years.
"This is an important project for the future of the state's economy and it's important that DOE officials move quickly to approve it as they have all other export projects from Alaska," Murkowski said. "I'm committed to doing everything I can at the federal level to push it across the finish line."
"This is another good step get this critical project moving, and I am glad to stand together with the rest of the delegation," said Begich. "This natural gas project is good for Alaska's economy and will create jobs, not to mention the Alaska LNG Project would provide Alaskans significant state revenue, thousands of high-paying construction and operational jobs, and access to low-cost energy."
"The Alaska LNG Project is a long time coming, and I'm pleased that a united congressional delegation is working to remove federal barriers to bring our tremendous natural gas resources to market," said Young. "Projects such as this will encourage Alaska's prosperity by ensuring well-paying jobs for our citizens and added revenue for our state, all while continuing Alaska's role in meeting the energy needs of the 21st Century."
The delegation pointed out that DOE has previously acknowledged that treatment of LNG export applications in Alaska will necessarily differ from lower 48 applications, and that a presidential finding from 1988 stating that exports of LNG from Alaska "will not diminish the total quantity or quality nor increase the total price of energy available to the United States" is valid and applicable to the Alaska LNG Project application.
"We believe that the export authorization sought by the Alaska LNG Project is fully consistent with both the public interest of Alaska and the nation," the delegation wrote. "As the Alaska Congressional Delegation, we write to request that you approve this application expeditiously."
