Inertial load dampening hydraulic system with persistent oil conditioning

A hydraulic system for dampening the high inertia forces generated by a body being driven by a hydraulic motor, the hydraulic system comprising:

• a source of pressurized hydraulic fluid;
• a first supply line coupled to the source of pressurized hydraulic fluid;
• a control valve coupled with the first supply line;
• a work line coupling the control valve with the hydraulic motor;
• an exhaust line coupled with the control valve, the exhaust line being operable to return exhaust fluid to the source of pressurized hydraulic fluid via a return tank;
• a back pressure check valve located in the exhaust line, the back pressure check valve being set at a first pressure level;
• an anti-cavitation valve hydraulically positioned between the exhaust line and the work line;
• an oil conditioning circuit located in the exhaust line between the back pressure check valve and the return tank;
• a second supply line extending between the first supply line and the exhaust line;
• and
• a pressure reducing valve hydraulically located in the second supply line, the pressure reducing valve being set at a second pressure level,
• wherein the second pressure level of the pressure reducing valve is greater than the first pressure level of the back pressure check valve thereby permitting hydraulic fluid to flow through the oil conditioning circuit during periods of operation of the source of pressurized hydraulic fluid.
