NON-COMPRESSION OF AIR (UNLOADED)
When air pressure in the reservoir reaches the cut-out
setting of the governor, the governor allows air to pass from
the reservoir, through the governor and into the cavity above
the unloader pistons. The unloader pistons move down
holding the inlet valves off their seats (see Figure 6.) With
the inlet valves held off their seats by the unloader pistons,
air is pumped back and forth between the two cylinders, and
the discharge valves remain closed. When air pressure from
the reservoir drops to the cut-in setting of the governor, the

COMPRESSOR & THE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM

compressor is typically cooled by the engine coolant
system, lubricated by the engine oil supply and has its inlet
connected to the engine induction system.
As the atmospheric air is compressed, all the water vapor
originally in the air is carried along into the air system, as
well as a small amount of the lubricating oil as vapor. If an
air dryer is not used to remove these contaminants prior
to entering the air system, the majority, but not all, will
condense in the reservoirs. The quantity of contaminants
that reach the air system depends on several factors
including installation, maintenance and contaminant
handling devices in the system. These contaminants must
either be eliminated prior to entering the air system or after
they enter.
