The air used for transmission of force, also stores potential energy that can serve to control the force applied for.
These systems have an air tank that stores enough energy to stop the vehicle in case the compressor suddenly stops working.
Air brake systems have enough “fail-safe” capacity. This way if the vehicle happens to have a minor leakage, brakes will still be effective and stop the vehicle safely.
How do Air Brakes Work?
Slowly but surely we’ve come to the final point of my article today, and answer the question how do Air brakes work!? I think I’ve cover a lot on how do Air brakes work, but here one more time I will say everything that I forgot to mention earlier.
At its most basic level, the Air brake operates pretty much same like the piston in an internal combustion engine inside its cylinder. The Air storage tanks are filedl with compressed air by the compressor, which is powered by the engine.
