A guide ring for a piston pump of a vehicle brake system includes a body and a seal. The body is configured to movably support a piston of the piston pump in a cylinder liner. The seal is held on the guide ring and configured to inhibit passage of air between the piston and the guide ring during movement of the piston.

An air dryer control method may include a cold mode in which a controller performs a winter season condition control in which air temperature is lowered to freezing temperature if an engine starting is detected, and performs a winter season thawing control in which compressed air introduced into a valve control of an air dryer warms a purge valve of the air dryer.

Devices for producing vacuum using the Venturi effect are disclosed that have a motive passageway converging toward a suction chamber, a discharge passageway diverging away from the suction chamber, and a suction passageway, all of which are in fluid communication with the suction chamber. The motive passageway has a single entrance, and subdivides downstream thereof into a plurality of subpassageways, one each leading to one of the plurality of motive exits, which are spaced apart from a discharge entrance of the discharge passageway to define a Venturi gap. The fletch having a plurality of ribs extending between an exterior surface of the generally conically-shaped main body thereof and an interior surface of the motive passageway is disposed in the motive passageway. The ribs divide the motive passageway into the plurality of sub-passageways, each converging fluid flow over the exterior surface thereof toward one of the plurality of motive exits.

A brake device for a vehicle may include: a housing block; a plurality of buildup valve mounting parts formed in the housing block and disposed in a first row region; a plurality of reduce valve mounting parts formed in the housing block, and disposed in a second row region formed under the buildup valve mounting parts; a wheel cylinder port formed in the housing block, disposed above the buildup valve mounting parts, and connected to a wheel cylinder; a master cylinder port formed in the housing block, disposed above the buildup valve mounting parts, and connected to a master cylinder; a pump port formed in the housing block, and disposed under the buildup valve mounting parts; and one or more damper units formed in the housing block, and disposed among the buildup valve mounting parts, the wheel cylinder port and the master cylinder port.

The embodiments disclosed herein provide a check valve aspirator including a venturi pipe having a converging section with a converging inlet and a converging outlet, and a diverging section with a diverging inlet and a diverging outlet. The converging outlet is in fluid communication with the diverging inlet. An outlet channel is in fluid communication with the venturi pipe and has an outlet port.

A pressure variation damper for a slip-regulated, hydraulic vehicle brake system includes a damper housing and a tubular damper element. The damper element is disposed in the damper housing and configured for elastic deformation. The damper element is subjected on an inside and/or on an outside to a fluid. Possible pressure variations of the fluid are to be damped. The damper element comprises a corrugation on the outside and a corrugation on the inside configured to reduce a change in a wall thickness of the damper element owing to the corrugation on the outside.
