Where is the air pump for the rear airbags of the Prado installed?

The air pump is installed at the base port of the Prado vehicle. Classification of air pumps: Pneumatic booster pumps are divided into gas-liquid booster pumps and gas booster pumps. The principle of the gas-liquid booster pump is to use the low air pressure of a large-area piston to generate high hydraulic pressure on a small-area piston. Various gases, including compressed air, nitrogen, water vapor, and natural gas, can be used as the driving gas source for the pump. It has a wide range of applications, such as clamping machine tool chucks, inflating accumulators, filling high-pressure cylinders, and converting low-pressure gas into high-pressure gas in industrial fields. Whenever the gas source pressure is insufficient, whether in mechanical or testing devices, a booster pump can be used. Mechanical principle of the air pump: Regardless of the reason for the pressure drop in the pressure-holding circuit, the booster pump will automatically start to supplement the leakage pressure and maintain a constant circuit pressure. It is driven by gas, with no arcs or sparks, making it completely suitable for use in places with flammable or explosive liquids or gases. It is easy to maintain and cost-effective. The booster pump is a plunger pump. During operation, it rapidly reciprocates. As the output pressure increases, the reciprocation slows down until it stops, at which point the pump's pressure remains constant, energy consumption is minimized, and all components cease movement.
