5AIR BRAKE SYSTEM
- INTRODUCTION-
- In the air brake system, a lot of developments
have taken - place such as bogie mounted Air brake
system, Twin pipe - air brake system, Automatic load sensing
device etc,. - As a result, the maintenance and
requirements have changed - considerably.
- Recently, Bogie mounted Brake System (BMBS)
has also - been introduced for freight stock. The
details of BMBS - for freight stocks are given in this
seminar.
6AIR BRAKE SYSTEM
- CLASSIFICATION OF AIR BRAKE SYSTEM-
- On the basis of type of release,
- air brake system is classified as
- Direct release air brake system.
- Graduated release air brake system.
- Both Direct and Graduated release are
- further available in two forms viz.
- Single pipe and
- Twin pipe
- On the basis of type of fitment,
- air brake system is classified as
- 1.Under frame mounted air brake system.
- 2.Boige mounted air brake system.
7AIR BRAKE SYSTEM
- The graduated release air brake system
- consists of following components-
- 1. Distributor valve.
- 2. Common pipe bracket with control reservoir.
- 3. Auxiliary reservoir-100 Litres 75 Litres.
- 4. Brake cylinder 355mm dia. , 300 mm dia.,BMBS

During this stage, brake pipe is charged
to 5kg/cm2 pressure which in turn charges control
reservoir and auxiliary reservoir to 5 kg/cm2
pressure via distributor valve. At this stage,
brake cylinder gets vented to atmosphere through
passage in Distributor valve.

For application of brakes, the pressure
in brake pipe has to be dropped. This is done by
venting air from driver's brake valve. Reduction
in brake pipe pressure positions the distributor
valve in such a way that the control reservoir
gets disconnected from brake pipe and auxiliary
reservoir gets connected to brake cylinder. This
results in increase in air pressure in brake
cylinder resulting in application of brakes. The
magnitude of braking force is proportional to
reduction in brake pipe pressure. NOTE-
1. Brake Application takes places when Brake pipe
pressure is dropped. 2.
The drop of pressure may be a) Intentional and
b) Accidental.

For releasing brakes, the
brake pipe is again charged to 5kg/cm2 pressure
by compressor through driver?s brake valve. This
action positions distributor valve in such a away
that auxiliary reservoir gets isolated from brake
cylinder and brake cylinder is vented to
atmosphere through distributor valve and thus
brakes are released.

BYPASS TWIN PIPE SYSTEM-
In case due to any reason brake pipe of a coach
or any wagon gets damaged or goes defective, it
can be bypassed in twin pipe system and the
detachment of the coach or wagon would not be
essential as in the case of single pipe system,
But in this case the train will be worked as
single pipe system.
16HEART OF THE AIRBRAKE
DISTRIBUTOR VALVE
17DISTRIBUTOR VALVE
- Distributor valve is the most important
functional component of the air brake system and
is also sometimes referred to as the heart of the
air brake system. - The function of the distributor valve is to
distribute compressed air received from brake
pipe to auxiliary reservoir and control
reservoir. In addition to this it also senses
drop and rise in brake pipe pressure for brake
application and release respectively.
- It is connected to brake pipe through
branch pipe. Various other components connected
to the distributor valve are auxiliary
reservoir, brake cylinders and control reservoir. - The distributor valve is removed for
overhaul, maintenance replace without
disturbing the pipe connections. - The complete working of braking system
depends upon the working of distributor valve. -
18DISTRIBUTOR VALVE
- Two designs of distributor valves are
in use on wagons. These are - 1) KE Type distributor valve.
- 2) C3W Type distributor valve.
- The KE type distributor valve consists of
the following - main subassemblies-
- Three pressure valve 5.
Minimum pressure limiter - U Controller
6. Maximum pressure limiter - R charger
7. A controller - Choke cover
8. Quick release valve
19KE DV / R-CHARGER
FUNCTIONS
ASSEMBLING
- The function of R- charger are
- To charge the auxiliary reservoir from BP to 5
kg/cm2 in single pipe system during charging. - It prevents back flow of air from AR to BP during
brake application. - To isolate the DV in case of malfunctioning.
- To release the air from AR BC manually.
R-CHARGER
- In dv assembling
- 48 no.s must change items,
- 64 no.s spare parts,
- 20 no.s bolts nuts,
- total near about 140 items
- are used.
- around 60 Tools are used in
- assembling.
20KE DV / A-CONTROLLER
FUNCTIONS
ASSEMBLING
- The functions of A-controller are
- It charges control reservoir to
- 5 kg/cm2 from BP during charging.
- It isolates the CR from BP, when the brake pipe
pressure is reduced at the faster rate, during
sensitivity range. - It connects CR with BP,when the brake pipe
pressure is reduced at the slower rate, during
insensitivity range. - As soon as BC gets a pressure of
- 0.2 kg/cm2 A-controller closes the passage
b/w CR BP during brake application.
21KE DV / U-CONTROLLER
FUNCTIONS
ASSEMBLING
- The function of U-controller is
- to reduce the brake pipe pressure further by
0.4 kg/cm2, in addition to brake pipe pressure
reduced by the driver from the loco, to
accelerate the brake application. - As soon as BC gets a pressure of 0.4
kg/cm2,The U-controller closes the passage B/w
BP exhaust, which in turn prevents any further
drop in BP pressure.
22KE DV / 3 PRESSURE VALVE
FUNCTIONS
ASSEMBLING
- It connects AR with BC during brake application.
- It connects BC with Exhaust during brake release.
- It admits BC pressure in steps, when the brake
pipe pressure is reduced in steps, to facilitate
graduated application. - It releases air from BC in steps, when the brake
pipe is pressure is increased in steps, to
facilitate graduated release.
23KE DV / MIN.PR.LIMITER
FUNCTIONS
ASSEMBLING
- The function of MIN.pressure limiter is to admit
a pressure of 0.8kg/cm2 - immediately into the BC during brake
application to overcome the resistance offered by
the brake rigging. - It is a non restricted passage between AR BC.
- Initially during brake application the air from
AR is sent into BC through two passeges.one with
restrictions and another without restrictions. as
soon as BC gets a pressure of 0.8 kg/cm2 the
min.limiter closes the non-restricted passage and
further admission of air from AR is sent into BC
through restricted passage.
24KE DV / MAX.PR.LIMITER
FUNCTIONS
ASSEMBLING
- The function of MAX.pressure limiter is to admit
a max.pressure of 3.8 kg/cm2 even emergency
application. - It is a restricted passage between AR BC.
- When the BC gets a pressure of 3.8 kg/cm2 max.
limiter closes the restricted passage. and this
passage is closed, the AR completely disconnected
from BC.and further admission of air from AR in
to BC is stopped.
25KE DV / QUICK RELEASE VALVE
FUNCTIONS
ASSEMBLING
- The function of quick release valve is to release
the air from CR manually to facilitate manual - release.
- NOTE- In case of C3W DV,
- it is a double release valve and it is to
release the air from CR as well as from AR
manually. - When the release valve is pulled only onceshort
pull the air from CR is released completely. - On continuous release, AR can also be released.
26KE DV / CHOKE COVER
FUNCTIONS
ASSEMBLING
- The choke cover has application release chokes
inside it. The application and release chokes
help in regulating the application and release
times of brake. - The following are the different hole sizes used
in our workshop. - BOXN,BCN,BTPN,BOBYN,BCNHL etc.
- application/release choke hole size - 1.7/1.7
mm - Any BMBS wagons
- application/release choke hole size -
1.42/1.52 mm - 3. BOBR , BLC, BCCW, BTAP etc.wagons (PT
DV) - application/release choke hole size -
0.44/0.42 mm

37LOAD SENSING DEVICE
- BOBR/BTAP/BCCW BLC wagons are
provided with' automatic two stage empty load
device to cater for higher brake power in loaded
condition instead of the conventional manual
empty load' device. With the provision of this,
brake cylinder pressure of 2.2 kglcm2 is obtained
in empty condition and 3.8 kglcm2 is obtained in
loaded condition.
- So as to obtain this a change over mechanism
called "Load Sensing Device" (LSD) is interposed
between the bogie bolster and spring plank. The
mechanism gets actuated at a pre determined
change over weight and the distributor valve
which has the additional feature (i.e.EK PT/C3W2)
controls the brake cylinder pressure.

In loaded condition the operating
valve lets the compressed air signal to EL port
of distributor valve pipe bracket and the
transformer gets the pneumatic command and the
brake system gets adjusted to a max .. brake
cylinder pressure of 3.8 0.1 kg./cm2
Load Sensing Device (LSD)
consisting of operating valve and spring buffer
mounted on the bogie and pipe with flexible hoses
Compressed air from auxiliary reservoir enters
into the operating valve through the pipe
connection and flexible hose.
Another flexible hose is connected
between EL port of distributor valve pipe bracket
and operating valve. The operating valve remains
closed in empty condition. Thus no pneumatic
signal is passed on via EL port to the
transformer which controls the maximum brake
cylinder pressure of 2.2/- kg/cm2.

The piston rod assembly is connected to the
brake shoes through a system of rigging
arrangement to amplify and transmit the brake
power. The compression spring provided in the
brake cylinder brings back the ram thus the
rigging is also brought to its original position
when brake is released.

The built-in slack adjuster compensates for
the wear of brake blocks during the brake
application through equivalent pay-out. For
paying-in, a pry bar is applied between the brake
shoe and wheel and the rigging is pushed in.
The brake cylinder has got a double acting slack
adjuster as a result the actuator of brake
cylinder will continue to move out till all the
slack in the system is take care off and reaction
force of the wheels is encountered.
This ensures that every time every time the brake
application takes place,sufficient brake force is
delivered on the wheels. The brake cylinder
compensates for any change in gap between brake
block and wheel through the inbuilt slack
adjuster.

- NEED FOR ADOPTION OF BMBS
- IN FREIGHT STOCK
- In order to overcome the problem faced in
conventional bogie breakage, missing
components and malfunctioning of SAB. In BMBS
fitted wagons, BC is equipped with in built SAB. - In conventional BOXN/BCN wagons due to frequent
theft of control rod, main pull
Rod, End pull rod Brake Rigging parts in
tripling operation of wagons causing
poor brake power in Rakes, resulting Detentions
of wagons. In BMBS, wagons these Items are
eliminated. - In order to Improve Mechanical
efficiency of brake power. - In a Normal Rake of BOXN wagon Fitted with
conventional type brake system there was around
18 Brake fading after a trial run of 1000 Km.
But In case of BMBS fitted Rakes No brake fading
is observed - after around 5000 km Trial Run.
53BOGIE MOUNTED BRAKE SYSTEM
- NEED FOR ADOPTION OF BMBS
- IN FREIGHT STOCK
- Braking distance of conventional Rake of 58 1
wagons of BOXN is 1350 m. - However in BMBS wagons it is 880 m
(approx). - In conventional wagons setting of A Dimension
was a major problem. If any change made in sleeve
nuts of E/L device that may create to heavy loss
of wagon creating brake binding / wheel skidding.
In order to overcome this, BMBS fitted wagons
came into field which contains in built slack
adjuster. - In case of BMBS system Automatic Load sensing
Device is used which Gives 2.2Kg/cm2 Pressure to
brake cylinder during empty condition 3.8 Kg/cm2
pressure during loaded for avoiding the above
Problems.
