# Industrial Specification: Road Sweeper

## 1. Technical Definition
A specialized vehicle designed for cleaning streets, roads, and other paved surfaces by collecting debris, dust, and litter.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.5 bar hydraulic pressure, 0-25 km/h speed, 0-40°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Hydraulic pressure exceeding 3.0 bar causes seal rupture, brush motor torque exceeding 450 N·m induces gearbox shear, water pump cavitation at 0.3 bar inlet pressure**, Mechanism: **Hydraulic seal failure due to elastomer fatigue at 3.0+ bar, brush gear tooth fracture at 450+ N·m torque, centrifugal pump cavitation at 0.3 bar NPSH**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Darcy-Weisbach Pressure Drop**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\Delta P = f \cdot \frac{L}{D} \cdot \frac{\rho v^2}{2}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Critical for sizing CIP (Clean-In-Place) pump heads.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| f | Friction Factor | Engineering Constant |
| L | Pipe Length | Engineering Constant |
| v | Velocity | Engineering Constant |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Hydraulic fluid contamination exceeding ISO 4406 18/16/13 | 8 | Proportional valve spool seizure | Install 10 μm absolute filtration with 0.5 bar differential pressure monitoring |
| Brush motor current exceeding 85 A for 30+ seconds | 8 | Permanent magnet demagnetization at 150°C Curie point | Implement motor thermal modeling with 75°C winding temperature cutoff |

## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What is the typical hopper capacity for an industrial road sweeper?
**A**: Industrial road sweepers typically feature hopper capacities ranging from 3 to 10 cubic meters, designed for efficient debris collection during extended cleaning operations.

### Q: How does the water spray system enhance road sweeping efficiency?
**A**: The water spray system suppresses dust during sweeping operations, improving air quality and ensuring more effective debris collection while preventing particulate matter from becoming airborne.

### Q: What maintenance is required for polyurethane sweeping brushes?
**A**: Polyurethane brushes require regular inspection for wear, occasional cleaning to remove entangled debris, and replacement when bristle length reduces significantly to maintain optimal sweeping performance.
