Operation

When compressed by the compressor (1.01), the air flows to the compressed air cleaner reservoir (5.01) which has a manual draining valve (6.01) incorporated that eliminates the condensed water by the reservoir.

From the compressed air reservoir (5.01), the air flows to the air cleaner which has a pressure adjuster valve (6.13) incorporated where the filtering and control of the compressed air pneumatic pressure is done.

The pressure regulating valve incorporated into the air cleaner (6.13) sends air to the compressed air reservoir (5.01) and to the 4-circuit valve (4.03).

The compressed air reservoir (5.01) stores the compressed air and uses it to clean the filter of the valve (6.13).

The four-circuit protective valve (4.03) supplies compressed air to the various pneumatic circuits of the brake system (service brake, parking brake, auxiliary circuits etc). As well as ensuring minimum pressure to each one of the circuits.
