LOCOMOTIVE PNEUMATIC SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC B60T13/26 B60T17/02 

FIELD: railway transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to systems supplying compressed air to rolling stock pneumatic equipment. Proposed locomotive pneumatic system contains compressor 1 designed for intermittent operation with drive motor 2, controlled by pressure relay 3. Connected in series with compressor 1 are check valve 4, heat exchanger 8, air collectors 9, 10, adsorption plant 11 for drying compressed air, feed main line 12, and electronic control unit 21 of adsorption plant 11. Air collectors 9, 10 are interconnected by air cleaners, 14, 15, each connected by input to output of air collector, and by output, to input of following air collector. Last air collector 10 is connected through air cleaner 15 with input of adsorption plant 11 which is connected with feed main line 12 by air cleaner 17.

EFFECT: improved reliability, economy and efficiency of locomotive pneumatic system.
