Brake valve is to be equipped with an additional cover on port 3. This cover is equipped with a tube which allows for the release of pressure from the valve

About

A confident method to protect port 3 from water ingress is to utilize a straightforward engineering solution, which involves diverting the released compressed air beyond the water level. Depending on the valve type, our approach may entail minor adjustments to the port 3 valve housing.


It should be noted that any other alternative solutions involving the release of compressed air from a valve submerged in water may lead to changes in its operational characteristics. Our solution, however, does not impact the static and dynamic characteristics of the valve.

Key Benefits

  1. Static and dynamic properies of brake valve not change.
  2. Proposed solution is easly applicale to wide range of brake valves and vehicles

Applications

Brake valves utilitised in a wide range of vehicles
