Abstract
A hydraulic pump [,] for use in a power steering system includes a power steering fluid chamber [,] for receiving power steering fluid from a fluid source. The power steering fluid chamber [,] is in fluid communication with a first fluid conduit [,] and a second fluid conduit [,] each of which has different lengths. A pressure valve attenuator [,] has two ports, one in communication with the first fluid conduit [,] and one in communication with the second fluid conduit [,] for receiving power steering fluid from the power steering fluid chamber [,] such that fluid borne noise in the power steering system is minimized.
