Abstract: A highly accurate pressure control system (200) adapted to control fluid pressure in apparatus such as the air pressure in vehicle tires (136) comprises a control module (210) having an air pressure selector (211) for selecting a desired air pressure and a pressure to voltage transducer circuit (230) for generating a signal representative of the actual air pressure. Signals representative of the difference between actual and desired air pressure are applied to comparator circuitry (246, 248) which control output switches (254, 256) for activating an inflate/deflate valve (220) to inflate or deflate the tires (136) so as to achieve and maintain the desired air pressure. Various circuitry of the control module (210) employ reference signals maintained at reference values held constant relative to a common power supply voltage instead of to a ground reference (218), thus minimizing circuit count and power dissipation while providing sufficient current for operating output switches (254, 256).

Abstract: An air delivery system is operable to on-board compressed air to an associated work vehicle from an associated or auxiliary source such as for example an external large compressor or air storage tank for assisting a tire inflation system (TIS) of the associated work vehicle to expedite tire inflation particularly when transitioning to a desired raised tire pressure, and is further operable to off-board compressed air from a compressor of the TIS system on-board the associated work vehicle for delivery from the TIS to an associated or external compressed air consuming device such as an implement attached with the associated work vehicle or the like. A bi-directional air delivery retrofit kit provides on-boarding and off-boarding of an extra-vehicular compressed air product relative to an associated work vehicle. A dual source air delivery system provides pressurized air to an air storage device from on-board and off-board pressurized air sources.

Abstract: An air-ride axle/suspension system for a heavy-duty vehicle. A frame and at least a pair of suspension assemblies support opposite ends of an axle for movement relative to the frame. An air spring is associated with one of the suspension assemblies that establishes a first relative position between the axle and the frame as a function of fluid pressure in the air spring. A tire and wheel assembly is operatively mounted to an end portion of the axle associated with the air spring. A sensor detects an inflation condition of the tire and wheel assembly. A venting system exhausts fluid pressure from the air spring to establish a second relative position between the axle and the frame that is different than the first relative position in response to detecting a predetermined inflation condition of the tire and wheel assembly.
