Commercial Vehicle Systems Product Doc. No. Y2042 DATA (EN - Rev. 000) PD-07-00 PD-07-00 Function 048042209000 The Unloader Valve is used to control the maximum pressure of the compressed air delivered from the air compressor to the brake system of the vehicle. When the pressure in the system downstream of the Unloader Valve reaches the setting pressure (cut-out pressure) of the valve it operates to discharge to atmosphere any further air delivered from the compressor whilst maintaining the pressure in the brake system by means of an internal check valve. The Unloader Valve monitors the downstream pressure in the brake system and when the pressure falls to the DR50 cut-in pressure of the valve it operates to direct the air from the compressor back into the brake system to recharge it until the cut-out pressure is again reached. The difference between the cut-out and cut-in pressures is called the range. The Knorr-Bremse range of incorporate a safety valve so that, should the supply pressure exceed the setting of the safety valve, it will open automatically to exhaust the supply pressure to atmosphere. Some incorporate other ports to provide compressed air for tyre inflation or a signal pressure to operate other devices, such as air dryers, alcohol injectors or shut-off valves. Other valves are designed with a control port and the operation of the valve is controlled by an external device such as an air dryer with integral unloader.
