  • Publication number: 20250109756
    Abstract: A hydraulic system (12) for an aircraft (10), wherein the hydraulic system (12) includes a hydraulic power pack (14), a hydraulic fluid reservoir (28) and a hydraulic pump (30), a hydraulic consumer (18), a high-pressure supply line (38) supplying the hydraulic consumer (18) with hydraulic fluid under higher pressure, and a low-pressure return line (40) returning hydraulic fluid under lower pressure from the hydraulic consumer (18); heating device (42) with a short-cut line (44) connecting the high-pressure supply line (38) with the low-pressure return line (40) and a heater valve (46) for opening and closing the short-cut line (44), and a control and monitoring unit (43). Temperature management includes automatically controlling a fluid temperature by monitoring the fluid temperature and controlling the heater valve (46).

  • Patent number: 8484962
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for regulating a temperature of hydraulic fluid in at least one hydraulic circuit of an aircraft, wherein, in a periphery of the aircraft, additional hydraulic consumption units are each provided with at least one controllable valve for heating the hydraulic fluid above an adjustable minimum temperature limit value (Tmin), wherein the controllable valve is closed during a maneuver of the aircraft, wherein the controllable valves of the additional hydraulic consumption units are closed when the temperature of the hydraulic fluid exceeds an adjustable theoretical temperature value (Tsoll), and wherein a temperature control system is connected to a temperature sensor for adjusting the controllable valve on the basis of a local temperature of the hydraulic fluid, the temperature sensor being near the hydraulic consumption units which are arranged in wings and tail of the aircraft.
