valve then to the emergency air connection at the spring
brake actuator. Note that the springs above piston B force
it into contact with inlet and exhaust valve B. In the position
shown the exhaust is closed and the inlet is open.
OPERATION - CHARGING SPRING BRAKE
ACTUATORS ABOVE 95 PSI
When air pressure beneath piston B is approximately
95* P.S.I., piston B rises slightly, against the force of the
springs above it, allowing the inlet of valve B to close. The
exhaust through valve B remains closed. The closing of
the inlet portion of valve B retains approximately 95* P.S.I.
in the hold- off cavity of the spring brake actuators while
allowing full air system pressure to build elsewhere. Refer
to Figures 5 and 6.
