33、Figure 1 Relay valve, pressures and control signals NOTE 2 The definition of “relay valve” in EN 14478 is specific to a load dependant relay valve. This EN standard considers one or more input pressures in accordance with the diagram in Figure 1. 3.1.2 input pressure control pressure received by the

34、 relay valve NOTE Pressure generally considered as being the output pressure from a distributor or a brake control unit; sometimes referred to as pilot pressure or dummy brake cylinder pressure. 3.1.3 output pressure pressure output from the relay valve NOTE Pressure generally considered as being th

35、e brake cylinder pressure when the relay valve is used in a variable load braking system. This pressure can also be used as the input pressure to another relay valve. The output pressure can obtain one, two or three fixed levels or it can be changed continuously between a minimum and a maximum or vi

39、qual or greater (step-up) than 1 3.1.6.2.1 relay valve type B1 multi stage relay valve that can change relay valve ratio during a brake application NOTE Typically used on vehicles normally operated in empty or fully loaded condition. 3.1.6.2.2 relay valve type B2 multi stage relay valve where a chan

40、ge of relay valve ratio cannot take place during a brake application NOTE Blocking the relay valve ratio during brake application is typically used to avoid frequent changeovers taking place on vehicles operated near the changeover weight. 3.1.6.2.3 empty/load relay valve specific type of multi stag

42、nal is used to change the ratio 3.1.6.4 multi stage variable load relay valve relay valve type C1 relay valve with a continuously changeable relay valve ratio, where a load signal is used to change the ratio and with a multi stage feature added NOTE Typically a load signal is used to change the rela

43、y valve ratio and a control signal (automatic or manual) is used to change the stage(s). The typical result is that at the same load and input pressure, in the lower stage (e.g. P-mode, passenger train) results a lower output pressure and in a higher stage (e.g. R-mode, rapid passenger train) this r

44、esults in a higher output pressure. 3.1.6.5 two (multi) input relay valve relay valve type D relay valve (type A, B or C) with two (or more) input pressures, controlling a single output pressure Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, ISO/EXCHANGE CHINA STANDARDS, 12/05/2009 01:46, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIBS EN
