A hydraulic control housing of modular construction consists of a first block, in which a compression chamber is formed, and a second block, which has a port to a reservoir. The compression chamber is connected to the reservoir via a duct extending through the control housing. A check valve is arranged in that duct section of the duct which extends through the first block.

A system for delivering fluid in a machine is provided. The system includes a pump, a first valve disposed downstream of the pump, a check valve disposed downstream of the first valve, at least one accumulator disposed downstream of the check valve, and an auxiliary system disposed upstream of the check valve. The system further includes a control unit configured to receive a signal indicative of a fluid demand from the auxiliary system. The control unit is also configured to selectively control the first valve in a first position to limit flow of the fluid from the pump to the auxiliary system, and in a second position to allow flow of the fluid from the pump to the auxiliary system based, at least in part, on the received signal. The check valve limits flow of a fluid from the at least one accumulator to the auxiliary system.

An agricultural work vehicle having an air supply device includes: an air compressor for pressurizing air; an air tank for storing the air compressed by means of the air compressor; a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure of the air stored in the air tank or atmospheric pressure; a controller for stopping the operation of the air compressor when the measured pressure exceeds a first reference value; and an air pressure regulator for discharging, to the outside, the air inside an air pressure circuit system so as to reduce the pressure when the pressure of the air stored in the air tank exceeds a second reference value.

Disclosed is a valve arrangement for aerating spring accumulator brake cylinders in a trailer vehicle with a pneumatic braking system, the valve arrangement having a first connection for a line connected to a reservoir of the trailer vehicle, a second connection for a line leading to the spring accumulator brake cylinders, and a first pneumatic control input, wherein the first connection can be connected to the second connection depending on the pressure on the first pneumatic control input. The first control input is connected to a line connected to a control connection of the trailer vehicle or to a line connected to the reservoir. A valve unit, a pneumatic braking system, a method of operating the same, and a trailer vehicle including the same are also disclosed.

A pressure-limiting valve has a valve housing, a piston, a pressure-limiting adjustment spring, at least one inlet and at least one outlet. The piston can assume an open position in which the inlet and the outlet are connected to each other and a closed position which separates the inlet and outlet. A first piston ring has a sealing surface and has a small pneumatic active surface relative to a second piston ring. Between the first and second piston rings the piston has a substantially truncated cone-like portion which tapers toward the first piston ring. In the closed position, the sealing surface of the first piston ring is sealingly drawn against a housing collar by a pneumatic force acting counter to the force of the pressure-limiting adjustment spring. A pneumatic passage for creating a safety valve function closable by a spring-loaded safety valve body is provided in the piston.

The present disclosure is directed to a braking system for a work vehicle having hydraulically-actuated brakes. The braking system includes a primary release valve, a secondary release valve, and at least one braking mechanism having one or more brake springs. The braking mechanism(s) is hydraulically coupled to the primary release valve and the secondary release valve via one or more hydraulic lines. As such, during full-power operation of the work vehicle, when the brakes are to be released, the primary release valve is energized so as to overcome a valve biasing spring, thereby shifting the primary release valve so as to direct pressurized hydraulic fluid to the braking mechanism(s). Further, when the brakes are to be applied, the primary release valve is inactive so as to allow the hydraulic fluid to flow away from the braking mechanism(s) to a primary reservoir such that the one or more brake springs compress the braking mechanism(s). Alternatively, when power is lost to the work vehicle, the secondary release valve bypasses the primary release valve and directs pressurized hydraulic fluid to the braking mechanism(s) to release the brakes.
