Abstract

A hydraulic installation with means for storing energy produced by the prime mover during a rest period of the installation. Energy is stored by a fluid accumulator by suitable positioning of control valves during the reset period. Control of the valves is effected by a logic circuit responsive to pressure in the accumulator, pressure in the main feed conduit leading to the driven device, and the position of a feed conduit control valve.
