Abstract

A fluid supply system with a component includes a first bypass valve arranged in a control channel with a valve body adjustable at least between a first and a second position. The valve body separates the control channel into a first and a second space and has a leakage opening connecting the first space to the second space. The second space is connected to a fluid reservoir via a leakage channel, and a switchable valve is arranged in the leakage channel. A sensing device is configured to sense a property of the fluid and convey the property to a controlling device that is configured to close the valve to block the leakage channel when a predefined property is reached. A second bypass valve is configured to reduce a transient oscillation of the first bypass valve during a starting of the system.
