摘要： An air dryer cartridge 100 configured for use on both conventional air dryer systems having internal purge air valving and newer air dryer systems wherein at least some of the purge air valving is located in the cartridge. The air dryer cartridge 100 has a first connector 112 for mating with a corresponding connector of a conventional air dryer system, and a second connector 156 for mating with a corresponding connector of a newer-style air dryer system. When the cartridge 100 is installed on a conventional air dryer system, purge air valving 144/146 within the cartridge is deactivated causing the cartridge to act as a conventional air dryer cartridge. When the cartridge 100 is installed in a newer-style system, the purge air valving 144/166 within the cartridge is activated thus enabling the system to function as designed.

摘要： An improved system and method for mounting an air dryer is provided. The improved system and method employs a single centralized special fitting that secures the air dryer manifold to a reservoir. The bore in which the fitting is disposed is used to communicate air from the reservoir to the air dryer in order to purge the desiccant in the air dryer. The mounting assembly includes anti-rotational mechanisms which prevent the air dryer from rotating about its axis. The mounting assembly may also include a reservoir and a mounting bracket for the reservoir which uses less than 75 percent of a truck mounting rail height.

摘要： An air charging arrangement for an air brake system of a vehicle driven by an internal combustion engine. The arrangement includes a hydraulic motor for driving an air compressor, which is mounted to the vehicle at a location that is thermally isolated from the engine. The arrangement may also include an air compressor controller that places the air compressor in a non-operating state when air pressure in an air reservoir is at or above a predetermined amount. In one embodiment, the air compressor is self-lubricated and air cooled.

摘要： A drain valve for a vehicle compressed air system, which separates dirt, water, debris and other relatively heavy objects from a compressed air stream. The drain valve includes a sump with a tangential inlet. The tangential inlet creates a vortex within the sump that collects relatively heavy objects at the bottom of the sump and allows the compressed air to exit the drain valve through an outlet port located at the top of the drain valve. A pressure actuated valve and drain port allows for the water to be discharged from the drain valve while retaining the pneumatic signal.
