  • Patent number: 10215170
    Abstract: A pump-regulator combination includes first and second pumps, a control valve, first orifice, and pilot valve. The first pump is configured to pump fluid from a tank to a first point. The control valve is configured to control pressure and/or delivery flow at the first point by adjusting a displacement volume of the first pump. The second pump is configured to pump fluid from the tank to a second point, through the first orifice, and back to the tank. A highest load pressure of the actuator is connected to a third point. The pilot valve includes an adjustable second orifice connected to the third point, via a fourth point, and the tank to pass fluid from the actuator to the tank. A pressure at the second point acts to close the second orifice. A pressure of the fourth point acts to adjust the control valve.

  • Patent number: 9512831
    Abstract: A hydraulic fan drive for a cooling system of an internal combustion engine, in particular a diesel engine of a mobile working machine or a construction machine, is configured to be switched off for a short time or by way of a transition in dependence on a load of the internal combustion engine. A shut-off valve, which is arranged in a working line connecting a variable-displacement pump to a fan motor, is configured to switch off the fan drive. The fan drive is further configured to be switched off by rotational speed monitoring of the internal combustion engine.

  • Publication number: 20130202452
    Abstract: A hydraulic fan drive includes a hydraulic pump that has an adjustable swept volume. The hydraulic pump is assigned a pressure control valve arrangement that is configured to regulate a pump pressure by adjustment of the swept volume. The drive further includes a hydraulic motor configured to drive an impeller wheel and a pressure line, which is connected to a pressure input of the hydraulic motor and into which pressure medium is configured to be conveyed by the hydraulic pump. A hydraulic accumulator is connected to the pressure line and the displacement of the hydraulic motor is configured to be adjusted. Energy is buffer-stored by the hydraulic accumulator by feeding in pressure medium beyond the amount that is displaced by the hydraulic motor. This stored energy becomes free for other operations of a machine, for example, to which the drive is attached.
