HYDRAULIC BRAKING ENERGY UTILIZATION FOR EMERGENCY STEERING, BRAKING, CHARGING ACCUMULATOR(S), AND/OR WORK FUNCTIONS TO REDUCE OR PREVENT ENGINE FROM OVERSPEED, ASSIST ACCELERATION AND/OR UNLIMITED TOWING

Abstract:

A system and method configured to direct the braking energy from a high-pressure port at the motor side of a hydraulic circuit to emergency steering, braking, accumulator(s) charging, and/or various work functions. The system and method are also configured to return hydraulic fluid back to the same high-pressure port when the motor is running as a pump.
