Abstract

A method and a device for controlling a load sensing hydraulic system, having a bypass valve (F), which is controlled by a pump pressure (P) and which when the hydraulic system is in operation diverts a pump flow of hydraulic fluid to a tank (E). The bypass valve (F) is pre-stressed towards a closed position and is put on load by the pump pressure (P) towards an open position against the action of the pre-stress. When the hydraulic system operates in a idling operation a first pre-stress element (I) limits the pre-stress to a first pressure and upon activation of the hydraulic system, a pressure regulator (10) increases the pre-stress to a second, substantially higher pressure by applying a hydraulic, constant second pre-stress force, that is added to the first pre-stress force and is substantially greater than this.
