Abstract:
1. A fluid supply unit, comprising a pressure generator for the fluid, and a pressure outlet of the pressure generator, further comprising a pressure booster ( 6 ) comprised of a high pressure piston ( 18 ) and a low pressure piston ( 22 ), wherein the low pressure piston ( 22 ) is mounted in a first low pressure chamber ( 36 ), and a switching valve ( 26 ), which, when switched, causes fluid from the pressure generator ( 2 ) to act on the low pressure piston, the pressure booster ( 6 ) being installed between the pressure generator ( 2 ) and a pressure outlet ( 7 ) of the pressure booster and rigidly mechanically connected with the pressure generator ( 2 ) wherein the pressure booster ( 6 ) is driven by a portion of the fluid generated by the pressure generator, wherein the pressure generator ( 2 ) and the pressure booster ( 6 ) are installed in a common housing, wherein the pressure outlet of the pressure generator ( 5 ) extends in the housing between the pressure generator ( 2 ) and the pressure booster ( 6 ) and the pressure outlet of the pressure booster extends from an end of the housing, wherein the housing is constructed of more than one part, wherein two of the housing parts have a joining surface ( 4 ), and wherein the joining surfaces together form an interface between the pressure generator ( 2 ) and the pressure booster ( 6 ), and further comprising a tank ( 15 ) is integrated in the housing and rigidly connected with the combination of pressure generator ( 2 ) and pressure booster ( 6 ), which tank holds the portion of fluid for driving the pressure booster ( 6 ).
