    Closed loop hydraulic circuits are generally used for hydrostatic transmissions in mobile applications. They have a direct connection between the motor-return and pump-inlet, and use a small charge pump to supply cooled and filtered oil. Advantages include no directional valve and better response across pressure changes, but disadvantages are limited flow exchange for cooling and inability to use the pump for other functions. High power systems need a flush valve to increase cooling and filtering by exchanging more oil flow. A large charge pump is important to supply the leakage and flush flows needed to manage pressure and temperature at high speeds.

    Closed loop hydraulic circuits

    Closed-loop: Motor-return is connected directly to the pump-inlet. To keep up pressure on


    the low pressure side, the circuits have a charge pump (a small gearpump) that supplies
    cooled and filtered oil to the low pressure side. Closed-loop circuits are generally used for
    hydrostatic transmissions in mobile applications. Advantages: No directional valve and better
    response, the circuit can work with higher pressure. The pump swivel angle covers both
    positive and negative flow direction. Disadvantages: The pump cannot be utilized for any
    other hydraulic function in an easy way and cooling can be a problem due to limited
    exchange of oil flow. High power closed loop systems generally must have a 'flush-valve'
    assembled in the circuit in order to exchange much more flow than the basic leakage flow
    from the pump and the motor, for increased cooling and filtering. The flush valve is normally
    integrated in the motor housing to get a cooling effect for the oil that is rotating in the motor
    housing itself. The losses in the motor housing from rotating effects and losses in the ball
    bearings can be considerable as motor speeds will reach 4000-5000 rev/min or even more at
    maximum vehicle speed. The leakage flow as well as the extra flush flow must be supplied
    by the charge pump. A large charge pump is thus very important if the transmission is
    designed for high pressures and high motor speeds. High oil temperature is usually a major
    problem when using hydrostatic transmissions at high vehicle speeds for longer periods, for
    instance when transporting the machine from one work place to the other. High oil
    temperatures for long periods will drastically reduce the lifetime of the transmission. To keep
    down the oil temperature, the system pressure during transport must be lowered, meaning that
    the minimum displacement for the motor must be limited to a reasonable value. Circuit
    pressure during transport around 200-250 bar is recommended.

    Closed loop systems in mobile equipment are generally used for the transmission as an
    alternative to mechanical and hydrodynamic (converter) transmissions. The advantage is a
    stepless gear ratio (continuously variable speed/torque) and a more flexible control of the
    gear ratio depending on the load and operating conditions. The hydrostatic transmission is
    generally limited to around 200 kW maximum power, as the total cost gets too high at higher
    power compared to a hydrodynamic transmission. Large wheel loaders for instance and
    heavy machines are therefore usually equipped with converter transmissions. Recent
    technical achievements for the converter transmissions have improved the efficiency and
    developments in the software have also improved the characteristics, for example selectable
    gear shifting programs during operation and more gear steps, giving them characteristics
    close to the hydrostatic transmission.
