FAST REPLENISHING BRAKE SYSTEM
Abstract:
A brake system includes a source of pressurized hydraulic fluid, a plurality of wheel brakes, and an iso/dump control valve arrangement associated with at least one wheel brake. A reservoir is connected to the source of pressurized fluid and to the iso/dump control valve arrangement. A fast-replenishing circuit includes a FR iso valve, a venting valve, and a replenishing check valve. The venting and replenishing check valves are interposed between the source of pressurized fluid and the reservoir. The FR iso valve is interposed between the source of pressurized fluid and the iso/dump control valve arrangement. When the source of pressurized fluid reaches a predetermined stroke position, the FR iso valve is energized to restrict movement of fluid from at least one iso/dump control valve arrangement to the source of pressurized fluid. The source of pressurized fluid is re-stroked to draw fluid from the reservoir through the replenishing check valve.
