SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VISCOSITY OF A FLUID AND A WORKING VEHICLE CONTAINING SUCH A SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a method and system for controlling viscosity of a hydraulic fluid. The viscosity of a hydraulic fluid is usually very much dependent on temperature. By using existing throttles which generate a pressure drop, the hydraulic fluid can be heated by creating a power drain in these existing throttles through a controlled increase of the pressure through them. By controlled heating, the viscosity of a hydraulic fluid can be controlled. According to the invention, the existing throttles are preferably cavity-preventing openings in valves.
