Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method (100) of controlling a hydrodynamic retarder arrangement (10) is disclosed. The retarder arrangement (10) comprises a hydrodynamic retarder (1), an inlet duct (2) connected to an inlet (4) of the hydrodynamic retarder (1), and a pressure increasing arrangement (8) configured to increase fluid pressure (P) in the inlet duct (2) by transferring working fluid to the inlet duct (2) upon activation. The method (100) comprises the steps of initiating (120) or cancelling (140) braking of the hydrodynamic retarder (1), and activating (110, 150) the pressure increasing arrangement (8) in conjunction with the step of initiating (120) or cancelling (140) braking of the hydrodynamic retarder (1). The present disclosure further relates to a computer program, a computer-readable medium (200), a control arrangement (21), a hydrodynamic retarder arrangement (10), and a vehicle (30) comprising a retarder arrangement (10).
