  • Publication number: 20080295507
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drive with an energy recovery and retarder function. The drive (1) comprises a hydrostatic piston engine (12) which is connected to an accumulator (16) for storing pressure energy and to a pressure limiting valve (19) for generating a braking action. Arranged downstream of the pressure limiting valve (19) is a cooler (45). The drive (1) also comprises a hydraulic motor (35) for driving a cooler fan (33), wherein the hydraulic motor (35) is acted on with a pressure medium which is delivered by the hydrostatic piston engine (12).
