32、g conditions. 4.2 Functional requirements 4.2.1 General Brake pipe accelerator valves shall be able to operate with all interoperable distributors and existing interoperable brake pipe accelerator valves. The brake pipe accelerator valve shall be ready to operate when the brake pipe has reached its

33、operating (running) pressure. The brake pipe accelerator valve shall operate in response to a defined rapid fall of brake pipe pressure to ensure a continuing rapid fall to below 2,5 bar. 4.2.2 Operating requirements The following operating requirements are defined in relation to a 5 bar brake pipe

34、operating (running) pressure. When an emergency brake application occurs, the brake pipe accelerator valves shall create a sufficiently rapid reduction in brake pipe pressure to ensure the rapid increase in brake cylinder pressure on every vehicle Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, ISO/EXCHANGE CHINA STANDARD

When the pressure in the brake pipe has fallen quickly to below 2,5 bar, and within no more than 4 s after the brake pipe accelerator valve commences operation, the brake pipe accelerator valve shall

36、 stop venting air in such a way that the brake pipe can rapidly be refilled. This requirement shall be proven by testing in accordance with 6.2.4.4. No functional errors shall occur in the operation of the brake pipe accelerator valve at operating (running) pressures of (5 1) bar. This requirement s

37、hall be proven by testing in accordance with 6.2.4.10. 4.2.3 Train/vehicle behaviour The brake pipe accelerator valve shall exhaust the air from the brake pipe without causing any adverse effect on vehicle/train behaviour. This requirement shall be proven by testing in accordance with 6.3. 4.2.4 Aff

38、ect of overcharge 4.2.4.1 Overcharge after full service application The brake pipe accelerator valve shall not come into operation due to the effect of an operating pressure overcharge after a full service brake application, which allows a build up of brake pipe pressure above normal operating press

39、ure to 6 bar. It shall be taken into account that this overcharge can be present for up to 40 s in braking mode “G” and 10 s in braking mode “P” after a full service application. This requirement shall be proven by testing in accordance with 6.2.4.8. 4.2.4.2 Overcharge starting from operating pressu

40、re The brake pipe accelerator valve shall not come into operation if the brake pipe pressure, starting from the operating pressure, is raised to 6 bar for 2 s, then is reduced to 5,2 bar in 1 s, followed by a return to the operating pressure at a rate of 0,15 bar in 60 s. This requirement shall be p

41、roven by testing in accordance with 6.2.4.9. 4.2.5 Affect of individual vehicle The operation of the brake pipe accelerator valve shall not be affected by an individual vehicle with a brake pipe volume not exceeding 25 l, where a brake pipe accelerator valve is not fitted or the brake has been isola

42、ted. This shall apply irrespective of the position of that vehicle in the train consist. This requirement shall be proven by testing in accordance with 6.3. 4.2.6 Subsequent emergency application The brake pipe accelerator valve shall come into operation when an emergency brake application is made a

43、fter a full service brake application. This requirement shall be proven by testing in accordance with 6.2.4.7. 4.2.7 Sensitivity The brake pipe accelerator valve shall come into operation no later than 2 s after the pressure in the brake pipe, venting to atmosphere, has fallen from 5 bar to 3,2 bar

44、within 3 s. This requirement shall be proven by testing in accordance with 6.2.4.4. 4.2.8 Insensitivity to brake pipe pressure fall The brake pipe accelerator valve shall not come into operation when the pressure in the brake pipe falls uniformly from 5 bar to 3,2 bar over 6 s with the distributor i

45、noperative. Continuing the pressure fall down to 2,5 bar shall not cause the brake pipe accelerator valve to operate. This requirement shall be proven by testing in accordance with 6.2.4.5.

46、:2008EN 15612:2008 (E) 7 4.2.9 Insensitivity to distributor valve quick service device operation The brake pipe accelerator valve shall not operate during the initial stage of service braking due to operation of the distributor valve internal quick service device. This requirement shall be proven by

47、 testing in accordance with 6.2.4.6. 4.2.10 Isolation 4.2.10.1 If the brake pipe accelerator valve is incorporated in the distributor, it shall be inoperative after the distributor has been isolated. This requirement shall be proven by testing in accordance with EN 15355 as part of the distributor v

48、alve test. 4.2.10.2 If the brake pipe accelerator valve is fitted separately from the distributor it shall be possible to isolate the brake pipe accelerator valve from the brake pipe and vent its pressure, using a suitable valve or device in the pipework such that it can be sealed in the normal open

49、 position with the isolating handle in the vertical down position. NOTE This requirement will be specified in the relevant vehicle system standard. 4.2.11 Leakage Leakage of the brake pipe accelerator valve shall be such that technical performance as specified by this standard is met without restrictions. The sealing arrangement within the brake pipe accelerator valve shall prevent loss of air as follows when considering a brake pipe operating pressure of 6 bar: At an environmental temperature of (20 5) C, the brake pipe accelerator valve shall
