Abstract

A brake system comprises a tandem master cylinder (24) with working pistons (19, 27), each of which confining a working chamber (25, 29). Upstream of the tandem master cylinder (24) a power booster (1) is connected which is connected to an auxiliary energy source (8) for the pressure supply. Connected to the booster chamber (3) are valves (22, 23) which are controllable by the pressure of the booster chamber (3) and by which a pressure medium communication may be established from the auxiliary energy source (8) to the working chambers (25, 29) of the tandem master cylinder (24) and a dynamic inflow of pressure medium takes place.
