Abstract
The present invention relates to a filter fitted into a flow connection of a controlled brake system. The brake fluid is very viscous at low temperatures. Therefore, great pressure loss is encountered at the filter, adversely affecting the control behavior of the brake system. The present invention discloses bridging the route of the brake fluid flow at low temperatures via the filter at least in part, which is done by means of a temperature-responsively controlled valve.
Claims9
Brake system wherein brake fluid is transmitted from individual components of the system to others by way of flow connections, with at least one filter inserted into the system,
- characterized in that a flow path is connected in parallel to the filter, and that this flow path can be opened or closed in dependence on a temperature-controlled valve.
