Recharge phase:
The compressed air coming from the compressor through
the supply fitting ”11” is arranged on the safety valve ”a”
(calibrated at 13+4 bar) and through the suitable channel it
reaches the drier filter.

Compressed air gives off, as it passes through the filter, its
own moisture and feeds the timer ”b” chamber through the
calibrated hole. At the same time, it opens the unidirectional
maintain valve ”c”, thus feeding the outlet 24 pressure intake,
pressure regulator ”d”, pneumatic suspension circuit feed
outlet 25 and, through outlet 21, the four-way protection
valve.

This

valve

will

convey

the

air

below

the

controlled-pressure valves of brake system outlets 21 and 22.

When

a

pressure of

≤ 7,5 bar is reached, the

controlled-pressure valves will open, thus making it possible
to feed the systems connected.

Simultaneously, through the two unidirectional valves ”e”, air
can reach the controlled-pressure valve of the secondary
sections.

The further pressure increase and reaching a pressure > 8 bar
allow opening the controlled-pressure valves in the
secondary sections and consequently supplying the outlets
23 and 24

When reaching the regulator calibration pressure of 10.3

+0.2

bar, there occurs the opening thereof and the consequent

opening of discharge valve ”h” that generates a pressure drop
inside the drier and the unidirectional keeping valve ”c”
closure and the activation of the drier filter regeneration step.
The slow pressure drop of the timer supply chamber allows
the pressure return from systems for a time of about 20
seconds. The compressed air returning from systems, when
passing through the filter, will guarantee its regeneration and
will discharge itself in the atmosphere through vent 3.

Failure phase of duct 21
In case there is a failure to main four-way protection valve
circuit, the component will behave as follows:

The pressure drop that affects outlet 21 creates a general
pressure drop in the whole component till the closure
pressure is reached (6.5 bar) for the controlled-pressure valve
in the faulty section.
This pressure decrease also goes to the regulator ”d” that by
moving itself goes back to its recharge condition.
The pressure drop in duct 21 creates the displacement and
discharge opening of the safety valve ”f” for the parking duct,
that discharges the protection valve duct 23. With moving
vehicle, the parking cylinders supply will be guaranteed either
by the manual self-limited distributor (single vehicles) or by
closing the unidirectional valve (vehicles adapted for towing)
avoiding the vehicle self-braking.

!

With any protection valve failure, the system supply
is ensured at pressure levels that guarantee brake
functionality but filter regeneration will not be
ensured any more since this function is only
activated when reaching the regulator triggering
pressure.

Under this failure condition, the possible connected trailer will
instead be automatically braked.

The system recharge, ensured by the regulator intervention,
will take back the pressure at the opening levels of the
controlled-pressure valve of the faulty section (about 7.5 bar),
guaranteeing this pressure in all other component outlets.

The possible failure of all other sections will guarantee that the
faulty valve opening pressure is kept for the healthy sections.
