On later cars fitted with Hydractive or Activa suspension, there may be as many as ten spheres. Spheres consist of a hollow metal ball, open to the bottom, with a flexible Desmopan rubber membrane, fixed at the 'equator' inside, separating top and bottom. The top is filled with <a href="/wiki/Nitrogen" title="Nitrogen">nitrogen</a> at high pressure, up to 75 <a href="/wiki/Bar_(unit)" title="Bar (unit)">bar</a>, the bottom connects to the car's hydraulic fluid circuit. The high pressure pump, powered by the engine, pressurizes the hydraulic fluid (LHM – liquide hydraulique minéral) and an <a href="/wiki/Hydraulic_accumulator" title="Hydraulic accumulator">accumulator sphere</a> maintains a reserve of hydraulic power. This part of the circuit is at between 150 and 180 bars. It powers the front brakes first, prioritised via a security valve, and depending on type of vehicle, can power the steering, clutch, gear selector, etc. </p><p>Pressure flows from the hydraulic circuit to the suspension cylinders, pressurizing the bottom part of the spheres and suspension cylinders. Suspension works by means of a piston forcing LHM into the sphere, compressing the nitrogen in the upper part of the sphere; damping is provided by a two-way 'leaf valve' in the opening of the sphere. LHM has to squeeze back and forth through this valve which causes resistance and controls the suspension movements. It is the simplest damper and one of the most efficient. Ride height correction (self leveling) is achieved by height corrector valves connected to the anti-roll bar, front and rear. When the car is too low, the height corrector valve opens to allow more fluid into the suspension cylinder (e.g., the car is loaded). When the car is too high (e.g. after unloading) fluid is returned to the system reservoir via low-pressure return lines. Height correctors act with some delay in order not to correct regular suspension movements. The rear brakes are powered from the rear suspension circuit. Because the pressure there is proportional to the load, so is the braking power. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Working_fluid"><span class="anchor" id="LHS_versus_LHM"></span> Working fluid</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Hydropneumatic_suspension&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Working fluid"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Citroën quickly realized that standard <a href="/wiki/Brake_fluid" title="Brake fluid">brake fluid</a> was not ideally suited to high pressure hydraulics, and developed a special red-coloured <a href="/wiki/Hydraulic_fluid" title="Hydraulic fluid">hydraulic fluid</a> named LHS (<span title="French-language text"><i lang="fr">Liquide Hydraulique Synthétique</i></span>), which they used from 1954 to 1967. The chief problem with LHS was that it absorbed moisture and dust from the air, which caused corrosion in the system. Most hydraulic brake systems are sealed from the outside air by a rubber diaphragm in the reservoir filler cap, but the Citroën system had to be vented to allow the fluid level in the reservoir to rise and fall, thus it was not hermetically sealed. Consequently, each time the suspension would rise, the fluid level in the reservoir dropped, drawing in fresh moisture-laden air. The large surface of the fluid in the reservoir readily absorbed moisture. Since the system recirculates fluid continually through the reservoir, all the fluid was repeatedly exposed to the air and its moisture content. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Veerbol_Xantia.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6f/Veerbol_Xantia.jpg/220px-Veerbol_Xantia.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6f/Veerbol_Xantia.jpg/330px-Veerbol_Xantia.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6f/Veerbol_Xantia.jpg/440px-Veerbol_Xantia.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2048" data-file-height="1536" /></a><figcaption>LHM reservoir and green suspension sphere in a Citroën Xantia</figcaption></figure> <p>To overcome these shortcomings of LHS, Citroën developed a new green fluid, <i>LHM</i> (<span title="French-language text"><i lang="fr">Liquide Hydraulique Minéral</i></span>). LHM is a <a href="/wiki/Mineral_oil" title="Mineral oil">mineral oil</a>, quite close to <a href="/wiki/Automatic_transmission_fluid" title="Automatic transmission fluid">automatic transmission fluid</a>. Mineral oil is hydrophobic, unlike standard brake fluid; therefore, water-vapour bubbles do not form in the system, as would be the case with standard brake fluid, creating a "spongy" brake feel. Use of <a href="/wiki/Mineral_oil" title="Mineral oil">mineral oil</a> has thus spread beyond <a href="/wiki/Citro%C3%ABn" title="Citroën">Citroën</a>, <a href="/wiki/Rolls-Royce_Limited" title="Rolls-Royce Limited">Rolls-Royce</a>, <a href="/wiki/Peugeot" title="Peugeot">Peugeot</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Mercedes-Benz" title="Mercedes-Benz">Mercedes-Benz</a>, to include <a href="/wiki/Jaguar_(car)" class="mw-redirect" title="Jaguar (car)">Jaguar</a>, <a href="/wiki/Audi" title="Audi">Audi</a>, and <a href="/wiki/BMW" title="BMW">BMW</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-citroen_29-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-citroen-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>LHM, being a mineral oil, absorbs only an infinitesimal proportion of moisture, plus it contains corrosion inhibitors. The dust inhalation problem continued, so a filter assembly was fitted into the hydraulic reservoir. Cleaning the filters and changing the fluid at the recommended intervals removes most dust and wear particles from the system, ensuring the longevity of the system. Failure to keep the oil clean is the main cause of problems. It is also imperative to always use the correct fluid for the system; the two types of fluids and their associated system components are not interchangeable. If the wrong type of fluid is used, the system must be drained and rinsed with Hydraflush (Total's Hydraurincage), before draining again and filling with the correct fluid. These procedures are clearly described in DIY manuals obtainable from automotive retailers. </p><p>The latest Citroën cars with Hydractive 3 suspension have a new orange coloured <i>LDS</i> hydraulic fluid.

The moving parts of the system, <i>e.g.</i>, suspension strut or steering ram, are sealed by contact seals between the cylinder and piston for tightness under pressure. The other plastic/rubber parts are return tubes from valves such as the brake control or height corrector valves, also catching seeping fluid around the suspension push-rods. Height corrector, brake master valve and steering valve spools, and hydraulic pump pistons have extremely small clearances (1–3 micrometres) within their cylinders, permitting only a very low leakage rate. The metal and alloy parts of the system rarely fail, even after excessively high mileages, but the elastomer components (especially those exposed to the air) can harden and leak, typical failure points for the system. </p><p>Spheres are not subject to mechanical wear, but suffer pressure loss, due to the pressurised nitrogen diffusing through the membrane. They can, however, be recharged, which is cheaper than replacing them. When Citroën designed their Hydractive 3 suspension they redesigned the spheres with new nylon membranes, which greatly slow the rate of deflation. These are recognisable by their grey colouring. </p><p>Classic (non-saucer) green- (and grey-) coloured suspension spheres typically last between 60,000 and 100,000 km. Spheres originally had a threaded plug on top for recharging. Newer ('saucer') spheres do not have this plug, but it can be retrofitted, enabling them to be recharged with gas. The sphere membrane has an indefinite life unless run at low pressure, which leads to rupture. Timely recharging, approximately every 3 years, is thus vital. A ruptured membrane means suspension loss at the attached wheel; however, ride height is unaffected. With no springing other than the (slight) flexibility of tyres, hitting a pothole with a flat sphere can bend the suspension parts or dent a wheel rim. In the case of main accumulator sphere failure, the high pressure pump is the only source of braking pressure for the front wheels. Some older cars had a separate front brake accumulator on power steering models. </p><p>The old LHS and LHS2 (coloured red) cars used a different elastomer in the diaphragms and seals that is <i>not</i> compatible with green LHM. The orange LDS fluid in Hydractive cars is also incompatible with other fluids. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Legacy">Legacy</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Hydropneumatic_suspension&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Legacy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The principles illustrated by the successful use of hydropneumatic suspension are now used in a broad range of applications, such as <a href="/wiki/Aircraft" title="Aircraft">aircraft</a> <a href="/wiki/Oleo_strut" title="Oleo strut">oleo struts</a> and gas filled automobile <a href="/wiki/Shock_absorber" title="Shock absorber">shock absorbers</a>, first patented in the U.S. in 1934<sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> by Cleveland Pneumatic Tool Co.

The prototype debuted in 1988 on the <a href="/wiki/Citro%C3%ABn_Activa" title="Citroën Activa">Citroën Activa</a> concept. It describes a development of the 1954 hydropneumatic suspension design using additional electronic sensors and driver control of suspension performance. The driver can make the suspension stiffen (sport mode) or ride in outstanding comfort (soft mode). Sensors in the steering, brakes, suspension, throttle pedal and gearbox feed information on the car's speed, acceleration, and road conditions to an on-board computer, which in turn activates or deactivates an extra pair of suspension spheres on the circuit, to enable either a more smooth supple ride or tighter handling in corners. On the Activa and Activa 2, the car leaned inwards by one degree in turns – Citroën acknowledged that this was somewhat of a marketing gimmick, and that a lean of zero degrees was optimal.<sup id="cite_ref-TV0391.44_32-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-TV0391.44-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>An additional, perhaps unexpected, benefit of active suspension is that fuel consumption and tire wear is lowered overall.

In the <i>Auto</i> setting, the suspension was switched from soft to firm mode temporarily when a speed-dependent threshold in accelerator pedal movement, brake pressure, steering wheel angle, or body movement was detected by one of several sensors.<sup id="cite_ref-XM_23-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-XM-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In Hydractive 2, the preset names were changed to <i>Sport</i> and <i>Normal</i>. In this new version the <i>Sport</i> setting would no longer keep the suspension system in firm mode, but instead lowered the thresholds significantly for any of the sensor readings also used in <i>Normal</i> mode, allowing for a similar level of body firmness during cornering and acceleration, without the sacrifice in ride quality the <i>Sport</i> mode in Hydractive 1 systems had caused. </p><p>Whenever the Hydractive 1 or 2 computers received abnormal sensor information, often caused by malfunctioning electrical contacts, the car's suspension system would be forced into its firm setting for the remainder of the ride. </p><p>Starting with Xantia model year 1994 and XM model year 1995, all models featured an additional sphere and valve that together functioned as a pressure reservoir for rear brakes because of new hydraulic locks, letting the car retain normal ride height for several weeks without running the engine. Correctly called the SC/MAC sphere, it often became known as the 'anti-sink' sphere, because of its ability to better maintain rear suspension height. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Hydractive_3">Hydractive 3</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Hydropneumatic_suspension&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Hydractive 3"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The 2001 <a href="/wiki/Citro%C3%ABn_C5" title="Citroën C5">Citroën C5</a> has continued development of Hydractive suspension with Hydractive 3.
