Key Aspects of a Differential Relay Valve:
Function:
It acts as a relay station, speeding up the application and release of brakes in vehicles, especially those with long wheelbases, by reducing brake lag.
Mechanism:
It receives a control signal from the foot valve and then relays a larger volume of reservoir air directly to the brake chambers, ensuring faster and more efficient brake application, particularly for rear brakes.
Anti-Compound Feature:
Differential relay valves, like the Bendix R-8™, often include an anti-compound feature to prevent spring brakes and service brakes from applying simultaneously, which helps avoid overloading mechanical components.
Safety:
They are crucial for safety in air brake systems, ensuring balanced air pressure between front and rear brakes and contributing to the rapid and efficient operation of the braking system.
