Hydrostatic system with charge flow monitoring

A system for monitoring the charge flow in a hydrostatic system. The system provides a sharp edge orifice restriction in the drain from the hydrostatic pump, creating a back pressure in the drain that is proportional to the fluid flow through the drain.

Zusammenfassung:A system for monitoring the charge flow in a hydrostatic system. The system provides a sharp edge orifice restriction in the drain from the hydrostatic pump, creating a back pressure in the drain that is proportional to the fluid flow through the drain. A pressure switch mounted in the pump case, or in the drain, detects the back pressure in the drain. The pressure switch is designed to be activated at a back pressure that corresponds to the intended charge flow at a specific engine speed. During operation, if the back pressure is not sufficient to cause the pressure switch to be activated at the predetermined engine speed or at a faster engine speed, the charge flow is not sufficient and a warning signal is generated.
