Can the air brake be pressed continuously?
1 Answers
Air brakes cannot be pressed continuously. Keeping them pressed will deplete the air in the air tank, resulting in a loss of braking capability. The method for using air brakes: 1. The vehicle's air pressure must reach at least 5 before releasing the hand brake; 2. Before starting the vehicle, ensure the air pressure is above 6 to drive, otherwise insufficient air pressure when braking may cause difficulty in starting. The air brake is a braking system composed of a brake control mechanism, dual-circuit braking mechanism, central disc brake mechanism, brake, air compressor, etc. When the engine drives the compressor, the compressed air first passes through a one-way valve into the wet reservoir. After cooling and oil-water separation in the wet reservoir, the compressed air is then directed through two one-way valves into the front and rear chambers of the air reservoir. The front chamber of the air reservoir is connected to the upper chamber of the tandem dual-chamber brake valve, which can inflate the rear brake chamber, while the rear chamber of the air reservoir is connected to the lower chamber of the brake valve, which can inflate the front air reservoir.
