ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for energy recovery is provided. The apparatus comprises a hydrostatic machine and at least one hydraulic storage component. The hydraulic storage component is connected to the hydrostatic machine via a working line. A valve device is provided for influencing the volumetric flow in the working line between the hydraulic storage component and the hydrostatic machine. The valve device comprises a brake pressure regulating valve unit with a valve and a pilot valve unit which acts on the valve with a control pressure. The invention also relates to a method for controlling the apparatus for energy recovery. In order to store released energy, a required braking torque is determined by a control electronics system. The volume from the hydrostatic piston machine into the working line is increased and the pilot valve is actuated by the control electronics system such that the valve is moved towards its open position.
