BC Transit – Air Brake Course

Loss of Main Reservoir Air
In this case we’ve suffered a major failure in the main discharge line
leading from the compressor to the wet tank. The low air warning devices
activated by 60 psi. The one-way check valve between the wet and dry
tanks prevented any loss of air from the dry tank. There is sufficient
reservoir air left to make a brake application and bring the unit to a
stop.The trailer brakes did not dynamite because the dry tank is still
supplying reservoir air to the trailer reservoir.
