Abstract
A deaeration valve (1) for a hydraulic coupling, such as a hydraulic coupling for distributing torque in a vehicle, said valve (1) comprising a valve member (3) and a valve housing (2), the valve housing (2) supporting the valve member (3) for reciprocal movement between two closed end positions.
Claims20
A deaeration valve for a hydraulic coupling, such as a hydraulic coupling for distributing torque in a vehicle, said valve comprising a valve member and a valve housing, the valve housing supporting the valve member for reciprocal movement between an idle closed end position and an actuated closed end position, wherein the valve member is biased towards the idle closed end position, such that when the valve member is subjected to an increased pressure, pressurized air will be allowed to escape through the valve.
A hydraulic coupling for distributing torque in a vehicle, comprising a deaeration valve, a valve member and a valve housing, the valve housing supporting the valve member for reciprocal movement between an idle closed end position and an actuated closed end position, wherein the valve member is biased towards the idle closed end position, such that when the valve member is subjected to an increased pressure, pressurized air will be allowed to escape through the valve.
A method for deaeration of a hydraulic system for a hydraulic coupling, such as a hydraulic coupling for distributing torque in a vehicle, comprising the step of providing a valve having a valve member and a valve housing, the valve housing supporting a valve member for reciprocal movement between two closed end positions, wherein the valve member is biased towards one of said closed end positions, and the step of subjecting the valve member to an increased pressure whereby pressurized air will be allowed to escape through the valve.
