SERVICE MANUALthe spring above piston "A! forces it into contact with inletexhaust valve"A" causing the exhaust to seal and inlet toopen.Fig. 3 Initial Air System Charge Below 55 PSI1Primary Reservoir2Secondary Reservoir3Inlet & Exhaust A4Piston A5Piston B6Check Valve7Exhaust8Inlet & Exhaust B9Spring Brake Control Valve10Double Check ValveSystem Fully Charged (Fig. 4)When the air pressure builds up past theapproximate 379 kPa (55 psi) in both the primary andsecondary reservoirs, piston "A" has moved against theforce of the spring above it permitting the inlet of valve"A" to close and open the hollow exhaust passagethrough piston "A."When air pressure under piston "B" is about 655 kPa(95 psi), piston "B" raises slightly against the force ofsprings above it allowing the inlet of valve "B" to close.The exhaust through valve "B" remains closed. Theclosing of inlet portion of valve "B" traps about 655 kPa(95 psi) in the hold-off cavity of the spring brakeactuators while allowing full air system pressure to buildelsewhere.Normal Brake Application with Primary andSecondary Reservoirs Charged (Fig. 5)When the service brakes are applied by ac-tuating the dual brake valve, air from the secondarysystem is delivered from the brake valve to the controlport where it is stopped at the closed inlet valve "A." Nofurther movement of internal components of theinversion valve takes place. Air from the primary deliverysystem of the brake valve actuates the service brakes ofthe spring brake chambers.Fig. 4 Air System Fully ChargedFig. 5 Normal Broke Application, Primary andSecondary Systems Charged1Primary Reservoir2Secondary Reservoir3Inlet & Exhaust A4Piston A5Piston B6Check Valve7Exhaust8Inlet & Exhaust B9Spring Brake Control Valve10Double Check ValveBrake Application with Loss of Air in SecondarySystem (Fig. 6)If air pressure is lost in the secondary reservoir, theprimary reservoir as well as the spring brake controlvalve is protected against air loss through action of singlecheck valve (air source to primary reservoir) and doublecheck valve (Fig. 6). A brake application at brake valve inthis situation results in little or no air being delivered fromthe secondary system to the control port of inversionvalve. No movement of the internal components of thevalve takes place. Braking is assured since the primaryreservoir is protected and the primary delivery system ofthe brake valve will apply the service brake portion of thespring brake chambers.CTS-4079 - CHAPTER VII - Page4
