The present invention relates to a device and method for conveying fluids into the treatment unit of a medical treatment apparatus. The device and method according to the present invention are based on the fact that the fluid with which the treatment unit is supplied, circulates in a fluid circuit including the treatment unit. To balance fresh and used fluid fed to the treatment unit or conveyed from the treatment unit, a balancing unit with a balancing chamber is used, which can be incorporated into the fluid circuit including the treatment unit. It is thus possible to supply the fluid circuit continuously with fresh fluid or to carry away used fluid continuously from the fluid circuit. The supply and discharge of fresh and used fluid can take place at a different flow rate from the flow rate at which the fluid circulates in the fluid circuit via the treatment unit.

A hydraulic circuit includes: a priority valve including a first position and a second position where: the first position includes a first fluid passage and a fixed bypass orifice connected to the first fluid passage; the second position includes a second fluid passage and a variable bypass orifice connected to the second fluid passage. The hydraulic circuit further includes: a first fluid line fluidly connecting the priority valve and a first machine component; a second fluid line fluidly connecting the priority valve and a second machine component; a check valve placed between the priority valve and the second machine component and fluidly connecting the priority valve and the second machine component; an oil passage on the priority valve fluidly connected to one or more machine components other than the first and second machine components; one or more actuators connected to the priority valve; and a control valve communicatively connected to the one or more actuators connected to the priority valve.
