Brake-by-wire system with pressure balanced PSU piston
An electro-hydraulic brake system includes a master cylinder (MC) fluidly coupled to an MC fluid passageway and configured to supply fluid into the MC fluid passageway in response to pressing force on a brake pedal. A pressure supply unit (PSU) includes an electric motor and a PSU piston disposed within a piston bore, the PSU piston is movable through the piston bore by the electric motor and divides the piston bore into a first chamber and a second chamber. A pedal feel emulator (PFE) includes a PFE piston movable through a PFE bore and separating an upper chamber from a lower chamber. Fluid is conveyed from the lower chamber of the PFE to the second chamber of the PSU in response to a compression of the PFE. The MC fluid passageway provides a fluid path from the master cylinder into the upper chamber of the PFE.

Air monitoring system
A controller for monitoring an air system in a vehicle comprises an input for receiving at least one pressure signal indicative of an air pressure in an air system an output for transmitting an alert to a vehicle operator; and control logic. The control logic is capable of determining an instant cut out time indicative of the time for the at least one air pressure signal to reach a cut out pressure value from a cut in pressure value; determining a difference between the instant cut out time to an average cut out time; and transmitting a leakage alert at the output in response to the instant cut out time being greater than or equal to a predetermined difference from the average cut out time. The control logic is also capable of changing the compressor operation in response to the alert.
COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY INSTALLATION AND PNEUMATIC SYSTEM
A compressed air supply installation for operating an air suspension installation of a vehicle includes an air supply unit configured to supply air, an air compression unit configured to compress air, a bleeding line, and a compressed air supply line. The bleeding line includes a bleeding valve arrangement in the form of a controllable solenoid valve arrangement comprising a magnetic part and a pneumatic part actuatable directly via the magnetic part, and a bleeding port for bleeding air. The compressed air supply line includes an air dryer, and a compressed air port for supplying the pneumatic installation with compressed air. The pneumatic part is open in an unactivated state of the magnetic part of the solenoid valve arrangement. The pneumatic part is open in a branch line of the compressed air supply line between a pressure-side valve port and a control-side valve port of the branch line.
