Abstract (en)

The present document relates to a hydraulic circuit (1; 100), comprising: a fluid reservoir (2), a fluid output port (7a), a first hydraulic pump (3) having a first fluid port (3a) and a second fluid port (3b), the first fluid port (3a) of the first hydraulic pump (3) selectively fluidly connected with the fluid reservoir (2), and the second fluid port (3b) of the first hydraulic pump (3) fluidly connected or selectively fluidly connected with the fluid output port (7a), a hydraulic accumulator (6), and at least one accumulator valve (14a, 14b). The at least one accumulator valve (14a, 14b) is configured to be selectively placed in either one of a first configuration and a second configuration, the at least one accumulator valve (14a, 14b) in the first configuration fluidly connecting the hydraulic accumulator (6) with the first fluid port (3a) of the first hydraulic pump (3) and fluidly disconnecting the hydraulic accumulator (6) from the fluid output port (7a), and the at least one accumulator valve (14a, 14b) in the second configuration fluidly connecting or selectively fluidly connecting the hydraulic accumulator (6) with the fluid output port (7a) and fluidly disconnecting the hydraulic accumulator (6) from the first fluid port (3a) of the first hydraulic pump (3). The present document further relates to methods of controlling the hydraulic circuit (1; 100).
