  • Safety valve and method for controlling a hydraulic circuit
    Patent number: 10935052
    Abstract: Described herein is a safety valve for a hydraulic circuit comprising a pump designed to supply a hydraulic fluid at a first pressure value to a pressure line, comprising: a chamber, which can be fluidically connected to the pressure line and is filled with the hydraulic fluid at a pressure value and a temperature value; and a casing with an opening, which can be connected to a reservoir of the hydraulic circuit; a shutter, which delimits the first chamber and can be displaced between a first position, in which it occludes the first opening, and a second position, in which it leaves the opening at least in part free; the valve comprises a thermally expandable element, which can be displaced, as a result of the temperature of the hydraulic fluid, between a first configuration that it assumes when the temperature of the hydraulic fluid is below the threshold value and a second configuration that it assumes when the temperature of the hydraulic fluid is above the temperature threshold value and in which it holds
