SYSTEM DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT IN CALCULATION OF RESPONSE TIME
FOR AIR BRAKE SYSTEM
COMPONENTS OF AN AIR BRAKE SYSTEM:
Air brake system
consists of the following components:
Compressor:
The compressor
generates the compressed air for the whole system.
Reservoir:
The compressed air
from the compressor is stored in the reservoir.
Unloader
Valve:
This maintains
pressure in the reservoir at 8bar.When the pressure goes above 8 bar it
immediately releases the pressurized air to bring the system to 8-bar pressure.
Air Dryer:
This removes the
moisture from the atmospheric air and prevents corrosion of the reservoir.
System Protection Valve:
This valve takes care
of the whole system. Air from the compressor is given to various channels only
through this valve. This valve operates only at 4-bar pressure and once the
system pressure goes below 4-bar valve immediately becomes inactive and applies
the parking brake to ensure safety.
Dual Brake Valve:
When the driver
applies brakes, depending upon the pedal force this valve releases air from one
side to another.
Graduated Hand Control Valve:
This valve takes care
of the parking brakes.
Brake Chamber:
The air from the
reservoir flows through various valves and finally reaches the brake chamber
which activates the S-cam in the brake shoe to apply the brakes in the front
Actuators:
The air from the
reservoir flows through various valves and finally reaches the brake chamber,
which activates the S-cam in the brake shoe to apply the brakes in the rear.
