Abstract
A pressure medium supply arrangement for operating a pneumatic apparatus, comprises a pressure medium supply, a pressure medium connection, a vent connection and at least one pressure medium charging connection to the pneumatic apparatus, together with a suction line, a compressor line, a vent line and at least one pressure medium charging line. A charging apparatus is configured to simultaneously direct the pressurized pressure medium applied to the pressure medium charging connection, and the further pressure medium made available in the charging apparatus by the first compressor stage of a two-stage or multistage compressor, to the second compressor stage of the compressor.
Claims48
A pressure medium supply arrangement for operating a pneumatic apparatus, the pressure medium supply arrangement comprising:
- a pressure medium supply;
- a charging apparatus having a multistage compressor, the charging apparatus being connected to the pressure medium supply on a pressure medium supply side, the compressor having a first and a second compressor stage;
- a pressure medium connection to a pneumatic apparatus;
- a vent connection to the environment;
- at least one pressure medium charging connection to the pneumatic apparatus;
- a suction line on a suction side of the compressor between a suction connection to the environment and the compressor;
- a compressor line between the first and the second compressor stages;
- a main pneumatic line between the pressure medium supply and the pressure medium connection;
- a vent line between the pressure medium connection and the vent connection, the vent line having a vent valve;
- and
- at least one pressure medium charging line between the at least one pressure medium charging connection and the compressor line;
- at least one of the charging apparatus and the compressor line being configured to substantially simultaneously conduct both a pressurized pressure medium applied to the at least one pressure medium charging connection and a further pressure medium made available by the first compressor stage, to the second compressor stage.
