2. Air brake (road vehicle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_brake_(road_vehicle)

   Truck air-actuated disc brake. An air brake or, more formally, a compressed-air-brake system, is a type of friction brake for vehicles in which compressed air pressing on a piston is used to both release the parking/emergency brakes in order to move the vehicle, and also to apply pressure to the brake pads or brake shoes to slow and stop the vehicle.

3. Compressed air dryer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air_dryer

   Compressed air dryers are special types of filter systems that are specifically designed to remove the water that is inherent in compressed air. The compression of air raises its temperature and concentrates atmospheric contaminants, primarily water vapor, as resulting in air with elevated temperature and 100% relative humidity.

4. Railway air brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_air_brake

   A comparatively simple brake linkage. In the air brake's simplest form, called the straight air system, compressed air pushes on a piston in a cylinder. The piston is connected through mechanical linkage to brake shoes that can rub on the train wheels, using the resulting friction to slow the train.

   The Foundation Brake product line includes brake products for wheel ends such as disc brakes, brake adjusters for drum brakes and actuators. Air Controls comprises products that improve the safety and driving dynamics of the brake system, such as compressed air dryers, valves, ABS and EBS.

6. Westinghouse Air Brake Company - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westinghouse_Air_Brake_Company

   Although the plain automatic air brake was a great improvement over the straight air brake, in an emergency the system still applied the brakes to the last cars in a train later than to the first cars in a train. To remedy that condition, George Westinghouse invented the quick-action triple valve in 1887.

7. Volvo FE - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_FE

   The brake system for FE is similar to the rest of the FM/FH family of trucks with EBS however a new integrated air dryer system called APM or Air Production Management was introduced. APM combines the functions of air dryer, regulator, four-way protection valve, pressure limiting and safety valves, pressure sensors and blocking valve into one ...
