Functions of an air compressor :
-
Air Supply for Braking Systems:
- The most critical function of the air compressor in a Howo is to supply compressed air to the vehicle's air brake system. Air brakes rely on compressed air stored in reservoirs to apply and release brake pressure, allowing for quick and efficient braking. The compressor ensures that these reservoirs are continuously replenished with air, ensuring the brakes are always ready for use.
-
Suspension and Ride Control:
- In some Howo models, the air compressor may also be used to control the air suspension system. Air suspension systems use compressed air to adjust the ride height and stiffness of the vehicle, providing a smoother ride and better handling. The compressor maintains the required air pressure in the suspension components, ensuring optimal ride quality and vehicle stability.
-
Powering Pneumatic Accessories:
- The air compressor can also supply compressed air to various pneumatic accessories and systems in the truck, such as air horns, air seats, and air-operated tools. These accessories rely on compressed air for operation, and the compressor ensures they have a reliable source of power.
-
System Maintenance and Safety:
- The air compressor plays a vital role in maintaining the overall health and safety of the vehicle's pneumatic systems. Regular compression and circulation of air within the system helps to prevent moisture build-up, corrosion, and other issues that can compromise system performance and safety.
-
Automatic and Efficient Operation:
- Modern air compressors in Howo vehicles are designed for automatic and efficient operation. They are typically integrated with pressure sensors and control systems that monitor air pressure levels and automatically engage the compressor when pressure drops below a certain threshold. This ensures that the vehicle's pneumatic systems are always adequately pressurized and ready for use.
