  • Continuously Productive Machine During Hydraulic System Overheat Condition
    Publication number: 20130226415
    Abstract: A skid steer type machine is equipped with an overheat protection algorithm that keeps the machine productive even when the hydraulic system is in an overheated condition. When an elevated hydraulic fluid temperature is detected, an electronic controller derates a pump of the hydraulic system to limit pump output to a reduced flow rate down from a rated flow rate. The hydraulic fluid tends to cool down when the pump is derated, but the machine remains productive while the hydraulic system is cooling down.
