Relay valves – types and purpose

    Relay valves

    Purpose

    They are most often installed between PV and C, providing the necessary filling and emptying times of C.

    In certain cases, they are also used to change the C pressure without changing the PV outlet pressure.

    They are also often called pressure transducers.

    Examples of their use:

    • At PV KE1;
    • In the case of locomotives, etc.

    Types of relay – valves

    • single-level – realize only one value of the maximum pressure in C;
    • two-stage – realize two stages of the maximum pressure in C;
    • three-level;
    • adjustable.
