REGENERATIVE RESERVOIR

摘要

A fluid storage reservoir that creates a regenerative loop inside the reservoir to maintain a pressurized main suction chamber of the hydraulic fluid reservoir is provided. This reservoir includes two separate chambers which are operably fluidly connected by one or more check valves. In the main suction chamber, the design arranges the return flow larger than suction flow in order to pressurize this chamber. This pressure can be adjusted by the check valve setting. This regenerative reservoir can provide sufficient pressure when large system flow occurs.

1. A hydraulic reservoir comprising:
a first chamber; a second chamber separated from the first chamber; a first flow path operably fluidly connecting the first chamber with the second chamber including a first check valve allowing fluid flow from the first chamber to the second chamber upon a first differential pressure between the first and second chambers.
