SERVICE BRAKE RELEASE
As shown in Figure 6, when a service brake application
is released, air from the trailer control line returns to the
trailer control port of the TP-3DC
through the open inlet. It then forces the diaphragm to
move against its seat in the cover and fl ows out the tractor
control (secondary) port to be exhausted at either the foot
valve or the hand control valve.
TRACTOR PROTECTION
Figure 7 shows the tractor protection function of the
™
TP-3DC
valve. When the trailer supply valve is pulled
out, or if trailer supply line air pressure decreases to
approximately 20-30 psi, the valve spring forces the plunger
down and closes the inlet valve. Service air from the tractor
can no longer pass through the valve to the trailer.
ANTI-COMPOUNDING
The TP-3DC
™
valve has an internal single check valve
that prevents simultaneous spring brake and service brake
applications on the trailer. As shown in Figure 8, if a service
application is being made, and then the trailer supply valve
is pulled out to apply the trailer spring brakes, service air
passes back through the single check valve and exhausts
at the trailer supply valve. Future compounding is prevented
by the closed inlet valve.
