COMPRESSED AIR PREPARATION SYSTEM FOR LOCOMOTIVES Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC B60T17/06 B60T13/26 

FIELD: railway transport; rolling stock pneumatic equipment.

SUBSTANCE: proposed system contains compressor 1 with drive motor 2, controlled by pressure relay 3. Connected successively to compressor 1 are check valve 4, heat exchanger 8, reservoirs 9, 10, adsorption set 11 with electronic control unit 21 and feed main line 12. Reservoirs 9, 10 are interconnected through air cleaners 14, 15, each being connected by input to output of reservoir located in lower part and by output, to input of following reservoir located in upper part. Last reservoir 10 is connected through air cleaner 15 with input of adsorption set 11 which is connected by air cleaner 17 with feed main line 12. Reservoirs 9, 10 are installed with tilting relative to longitudinal horizontal axis towards side of outputs located in lowermost point of reservoirs 9, 10.

EFFECT: reduced mass and overall dimensions of adsorption set, provision of its economy and efficiency.
