Abstract
A brake system for a vehicle is disclosed herein, which is constructed for selective pressurisation and pressure relief of at least two pressure connections for brake actuators. The brake system comprises an electrofluidic pressure generation unit, a main cylinder unit and an electrofluidic pressure increase unit, which is fluidly coupled at the input side to the electrofluidic pressure generation unit and/or the main cylinder unit in such a manner that exclusively a volume flow of pressure fluid which is pressurised by the electrofluidic pressure generation unit and/or the main cylinder unit can be acted on with a supplementary pressure by the pressure increase unit. At the output side, the pressure increase unit is connected in fluid terms to one of the pressure connections. In addition, a method for operating such a brake system is set out.
