15. A valve assembly configured for controlling fluid flow between a first reservoir and a second reservoir, the valve assembly comprising:
-
a relief valve configured to open a first fluid flow path when the pressure inside the first reservoir is above a first predetermined pressure value; a solenoid assembly configured to open a second fluid flow path when a rate of the fluid flow from the first reservoir to the second reservoir is above a predetermined reference value; and a flow restrictor configured to open a third fluid flow path when the rate of the fluid flow from the first reservoir to the second reservoir is below the predetermined reference value, and when the pressure inside the first reservoir is below a second predetermined pressure value, wherein the first predetermined pressure value is greater than the second predetermined pressure value. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
