1.13 PRESSURE-RELIEF VALVE WITH NON-RETURN VALVE
Purpose
The purpose of the pressure-limiting valve with
non-return valve is to limit the output pressure to
a specified preset value (8 bar).
Lower pressures are passed unreduced. This
valve also includes a non-return valve for
circuit 3 of the brake system.
Operation
Compressed air is input at connection
number 12 (maximum system pressure).
The storage reservoir for circuit 3 is filled via
port 11.
At port numbers 21, 22 and 23, the
pressure-limited air is once again bled. If the
exhaust air has not yet reached the limit value,
piston-shaped valve (2) is open.
When the pressure at the piston-shaped
valve (2) reaches the limit set by the adjusting
screw (6), valve (2) will be forced downwards
against the pressure of spring (5), until it
contacts seat (3).
No air can now pass.
If pressure at ports (21), (22) and (23) exceeds
that at ports 11 and 12, via an opening in
piston (4), the pressure will raise spring-loaded
seal (1), from piston-shaped valve (2). As a
result the air can flow back to ports (11) and
(12).
