Hydraulic brake distributor for a two-wheeled vehicle
A hydraulic brake distributor for a two-wheeled vehicle has an outer body that forms an internal cavity accommodating two floating piston valve elements. The two floating piston valve elements are axially movable and mutually coupled in a telescopic manner. One of the two floating piston valve elements has an internal through-channel.
VENTILATION CAP ON A SOLENOID VALVE IN COMPRESSED-AIR INSTALLATIONS, FOR EXAMPLE FOR VEHICLES
A venting cap for a solenoid valve for compressed-air systems includes a carrier element configured to be arranged on an outlet tube of the solenoid valve and a sealing element arranged on the carrier element. The sealing element is in the form of a cap which engages radially and axially over the carrier element and which has a coaxially extending circular rim. The circular rim has on its inner side, adjacent to a free axial end, at least one receiver for at least one radially outwardly projecting snap-in contour of a geometrically complementary form on the carrier element. The carrier element has a coaxially arranged hollow-cylindrical extension, which is configured to be fastened to the axial end of the outlet tube. The carrier element has a coaxial venting path connected to an exit opening via a labyrinthine sealing structure.
GAS-LIQUID SEPARATING GAS EXCHANGE DEVICE
Described herein is a gas-liquid separating gas exchange device comprising a vent mechanism that services gas exchange between the interior and exterior of a housing, a shelter of the vent mechanism distal from the housing that provides shelter of a distal area around the vent mechanism, an area-encompassing abutment rising distally from the housing and encompassing both the vent mechanism and the shelter and creating a fluid-catchment junction between the shelter and the abutment, and at least one fluid-exchange passageway in the at least one shelter allowing fluid exchange between the distal sheltered area and the abutment into the fluid-catchment junction. The gas-liquid separating gas exchange device may separate gas and liquid by gravity, energy of vibration, air-pressure forces, or a combination thereof and facilitates expulsion of contaminating liquid and debris from the housing.
Controller Apparatus and Method for a Compressed Air System
A compressed air supply apparatus for heavy vehicles includes a service reservoir, an air dryer in communication with the service reservoir, a purge reservoir in communication with the air dryer, a compressor for delivering compressed air through the air dryer preferentially to the purge reservoir and then to the service reservoir and a controller. The controller interrupts the charge cycle of the compressor in response to a moisture accumulation value being equal to or exceeding a wetness threshold value and the pressure in the service reservoir being within a predetermined pressure range. The controller then initiates a modified purge cycle of the air dryer, which includes iteratively regenerating the air dryer with air from the purge reservoir until at least one of the moisture accumulation value is less than the wetness threshold value and the pressure in the service reservoir is outside the predetermined pressure range.
CONTROL MODULE OF AN AIR TREATMENT SYSTEM OF A UTILITY VEHICLE
A control module for an air treatment system of a utility vehicle comprises the following: a first and second pneumatic magnetic valve having a first or second coil, connecting pins, and armatures accommodated in the coils, a circuit carrier, and a module housing that is cast from a plastic material, into which housing the coils are cast. The connecting pins project from a first side of the module housing and are electrically connected to the circuit carrier. A plug-in connection for receiving a connection plug is formed in the module housing, wherein the plug-in connection has plug-in pins, which extend through the module housing and are electrically connected to the circuit carrier. The module housing has a mounting surface having pneumatic connections for installation on an air dryer housing of an air dryer.
Pneumatic Braking Device
A pneumatic braking device for a utility vehicle includes at least one pneumatically controllable spring accumulator for a parking brake of the utility vehicle and an electronic parking brake device. The electronic parking brake device has at least one electronic control unit, at least one bistable valve unit, at least one first valve unit by which a parking brake of a trailer of the utility vehicle can be deactivated when activating the parking brake of the utility vehicle, at least one second valve device which can be connected in such a way that when there is a decrease in the system pressure for supplying the parking brake of the trailer, the parking brake of the trailer can be activated, and a traction vehicle protection valve.
INSULATED ELECTRICAL CABLE
Provided is an insulated electrical cable including: a core wire made up of at least one insulated wire including a conductor and an insulating layer covering the conductor; an inner sheath layer covering the core wire; and an outer sheath layer covering the inner sheath layer. The inner sheath layer has an elastic modulus A at −30° C. in a range from 10 MPa to 1000 MPa.
DUAL AIR COMPRESSOR FOR HYBRID VEHICLES
A system for generating air pressure in a hybrid vehicle, comprising an engine-driven air compressor (C1) configured to be selectively operated by an ICE engine, an electrically—driven air compressor (C2) configured to be operated by an electric motor, wherein said electric motor is supplied from the electric network, at least one air reservoir configured to store pressurized air and being configured to be connected directly or indirectly to both an outlet of the engine-driven air compressor (C1) and an outlet of the electrically-driven air compressor (C2), at least one electronic control unit (3, 3′) configured to control at least the electrically-driven air compressor (C2) according at least to a selected drive mode of the vehicle, wherein the electrically-driven air compressor (C2) is downsized compared to the engine-driven compressor (C1), and corresponding control methods.
