5.1 Basic principles
5.1.1 Open and closed hydraulic circuit
Fig. 80: Open circuit
Open in this case means that the suction line of a pump (1) nor-
mally is situated below the fluid level, the surface of which is in
open contact with atmospheric pressure. Reliable equalization of
pressure between the air in the hydraulic oil tank and the ambient
air ensures problem free suction of the pump.
In an open circuit the hydraulic oil is fed to the consumer (2 or 3)
and also returned to the tank through way valves.
