Pneumatic System

How the pneumatic system

works

The pneumatic system comprises the following:



Air supply



Filtering system



Controls



Pneumatic valve box and air valves



Air Actuators

Air Supply

Air is drawn from the chassis air tanks, passes through

an air and mist filter system (or air filter assembly) and

into the pneumatic valve box. The system runs at

approximately 120 PSI.

Figure 6

1 Air tanks

Filter System

The chassis air supply is filtered before it is used in the

control circuit. Two filters (the water filter element

and the coalescing filter [or mist filter]) are fitted on

the curbside of the chassis (see Figure 6

2). Air supply

is passed through an air filter and a mist separator, and

then routed to the pneumatic valve box.
