  • Apparatus and method for a hydraulic system
    Patent number: 10443632
    Abstract: A vehicle comprising a hydraulic fluid reservoir, a hydraulic fluid pump, a hydraulic filter, a sensor, and a vehicle control unit. The hydraulic fluid reservoir may have a bottom portion filled with hydraulic fluid and a top portion filled with air. The hydraulic fluid pump may be hydraulically coupled to the hydraulic fluid reservoir so as to draw hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic fluid reservoir. The hydraulic filter may be hydraulically coupled to the hydraulic fluid reservoir so as to filter debris from the hydraulic fluid entering the hydraulic fluid reservoir. The sensor may be in communication with the vehicle control unit where the sensor is configured to measure a variable indicative of a failure status of the hydraulic filter and communicate the variable to the vehicle control unit.
