Abstract
A hydraulic unit includes a tank configured to be filled with a hydraulic fluid. The tank has at least one inflow connection and at least one outflow connection. A flow guide for the hydraulic fluid is formed between the inflow connection and the outflow connection. The flow guide is configured to have at least two 180° flow arcs configured to cool and calm the hydraulic fluid and to avoid dead zones.
Claims15
A tank for a hydraulic unit, comprising:
- at least one inflow connection configured to receive hydraulic fluid into the tank;
- at least one outflow connection spaced apart from the at least one inflow connection and configured to release the hydraulic fluid out of the tank;
- and
- a flow path defined between the at least one inflow connection and the at least one outflow connection, the flow path having at least two sequential 180° flow arcs configured to calm and cool the hydraulic fluid and to avoid dead zones, the at least two sequential 180° flow arcs configured to provide two downwardly flowing segments flowing in the direction of gravitational force separated by a horizontally flowing segment passing beneath the at least one inlet, and separated by an upwardly flowing segment.
