Why Do Large Vehicles Make Exhaust Sounds When Braking?
1 Answers
Large vehicles making exhaust sounds during braking is a completely normal phenomenon for them. This is a safety consideration incorporated into the design, where an air brake system is installed on the exhaust pipe. Here's more information about air brakes: 1. Working Principle: When a large vehicle starts, the air compressor begins charging the air cylinder and compressing gas; when the driver presses the brake pedal, the air valve opens, allowing a large volume of high-pressure gas from the cylinder to flow through pipes into the brake pump, activating a series of braking mechanisms to stop the vehicle. 2. Application of Air Brakes: Air brakes are predominantly used in large trucks and buses. These vehicles have ample space, require greater braking force, operate over long distances, and need rapid response times.
