damaged if it is not aligned. In the end the cover is tightened by a wrench.
Tools: Socked wrench S 27
4.17. In the orifice the axle seal (112), then the same is secured with locking ring (7).
Pay attention!
When you fit the axle seal and the locking ring there is one small orifice on the upper
side of the housing. This orifice has to be free. It is checked when compressed air is let
through choke (K - 631.067) over orifice, when air has to flow in this small orifice over
the axle seal.
4.18. Fit O - ring (76) and diaphragm (78) on cover - ass. (75). Check with compressed air
with small pressure does the diaphragm work.
Tools: Compressed air
4.20. Piston (80) is fitted in the axle seal orifice fit the piston (77), the supporting ring (79)
and the orifice is closed with cover - ass. (75) of point 4.18.
Tools: Socked wrench S 27
4.21. Distributor valve is rotated for 180° and laced on the working table where the flange
should fit the table wedge.
Tools: Working table
4.22. On supporting cover - ass. (40) fit the axle seals (8), (pay attention to their position),
then fit the locking rings (7), the sealing ring (10) and bolts (11).
Tools: Circlip pliers.
4.23. Pressing plate (6), diaphragm (5) and spring support (3) fit on valve rod (9). The
completed valve rod is fitted in the cover from point 4.25.
4.24. Spring (2), supporting ring (4) and cover complete from point 4.26 fit in the orifice of
housing - ass. (42), then easily move the cover complete up and down (pushing it
manually).
4.25. Spring box (12) is fitted on valve rod (9) that exists from cover (40), then screw the
pressing dish (41), firstly manually and then with a screwdriver.
Pay attention!
When screwing the pressing dish (41), the rocking arm-ass. (81) is also fitted so
that the tooth holds to the retaining plate.
Remark:
After each assembly and disassembly of the pressing dish (41), the rocking arm
complete (81) is checked whether it is correctly fitted, also it is non-damaging in the
further process of assembling in the following way.
Pull the rocking arm tooth aside, and with compressed air act (blow) in orifice of the
housing, when the rocking arm should move and stop in vertical position. If this
does not happen, seek the cause in wrongly fitted rocking arm (repeat the
procedure of retaining plate assembly) however the cause can be also failure of the
unit, named as a “blocking unit” in orifice. Check the exiting of the piston under
action of compressed air let in orifice.
4.26. Attention: The max. pressure limiter HBG 310 will assembly to testing room.

5. General
Distributor valves type MH 3f HBG 310 / 100 have a simple design where all parts are
alterable, however provide maximum safety in exploitation.
The modern design provides large tolerances in manufacture, simple assembly and
revision.
6. Technical description
The distributor valve consists of the following devices:
ACCELERATOR VALVE
The accelerator valve is activated by the main control member such that in the initial stage
of a brake application it opens to allow the escape to atmosphere of a controlled volume
of air from the brake pipe thus promoting the rapid propagation of the brake application
throughout the train.
LOCKING MEMBER
The locking member ensures that the accelerator valve only operates when a brake
application is initiated and thereafter it holds the accelerator valve inoperative until the
brake cylinder pressure falls below 0,25 bar during a release of the brakes.
7. Functional description
It will be seen that after the accelerator valve has closed, brake pipe air in chambers (14)
and (17) is vented to atmosphere by the chokes (15) and (22).
By modifying the bore of the choke (22), the length of time, when the accelerator valve
(13) is open, can be varied and consequently the volume of air vented from the brake pipe
can also be varied, without in anyway altering the brake cylinder application or release
timings, which remain in compliance with UIC or customer specification.
By rapid drop of pressure in chamber (10) of the Main control device, the same opens the
inlet valve (20) with large bore by means of the valve stem (19). In this moment the
pressure of the auxiliary reservoir flows through channel (55) and the open large bore
initial admission valve (57), hence via channel (58) and the opened inlet valve (20) in to
chamber (24) and as command pressure through channel (28), the locking member
chamber (29), to the relay valve type REL 10, by which brake cylinder filling is achieved,
can flow as a regulating compressed air towards the one-way relay valve REL 10, when
brake cylinder is charged.
Relay valve type REL 10 provides brake cylinder charge with air from auxiliary reservoir
through the inlet valve with large cross-section (54), which is opened by means of hollow
valve stem, diaphragm (53) and pressure of regulating air in chamber (50).
In order to prevent premature closing of the inlet valve (20) and initial admission valve (57)
of the max. pressure limiter due to the rapid build up of pressure in the relatively small
volumes within the distributor body, a supply of sustaining air from chamber (14) is
introduced momentarily below the diaphragms (33) and (59) , this air is vented to
atmosphere via choke (15).
As a result of the above sequence of action, during the initial stage of brake application an
efficient “in - shot“ of air is provided to the brake cylinder causing an almost instantaneous
rise in pressure 0,70 bar thus causing the brake cylinder piston, acting through the brake
rigging, to move the brake shoes rapidly into contact with the wheels.
Before the valve stem can lift the inlet valve (20) of the max. pressure limiter from its
seating, the sensitivity spring (40) has to be compressed, resulting from the mutual
counter action of springs (40) and (43) the control of low brake cylinder pressure is
enhanced.
A reduction of the brake pipe pressure by only 0,08 bar is sufficient to cause the valve
stem (44) to move to the left, allowing spring (70) to close the valve stem against its seat
(73), thus restricting communication between the brake pipe and the control reservoir.
If the brake pipe pressure is reduced by 0,20 bar, the valve stem (44) moves further to the
left compressing spring (37) and seating itself against valve (36), which is moved off its
seating. Thus the control reservoir is positively isolated from the brake pipe whilst
simultaneously the auxiliary reservoir is connected to the brake pipe via the check valve (2).
Air from the auxiliary reservoir flowing to the brake cylinder via the open main control
device as described, also flows via channel (23) into chamber (25) of the sealing valve
acting downwards on diaphragm (26) against the brake pipe pressure. This is acting
upwards in chamber (7) on diaphragm (27). When the pressure in chamber (25) reaches
0,50 bar the sealing valve (5) closes against its seating thus preventing air from the brake
pipe passing to the auxiliary reservoir via choke (6).
After the distributor has acted to provide the “in - shot“ feature and with its sealing valve
closed, with the control reservoir isolated and valve (36) open as described, air from the
auxiliary reservoir flows to the brake cylinder via the filling choke, the bore of which
determines the brake cylinder filling time. As the air pressure in chamber (24) rises it
exerts a downward force via the diaphragm (33) on the hollow valve stem (19) together
with the springs (43) and (40) against the upward force caused by the pressure differential
across the diaphragm (9). When these forces acting on the hollow valve stem are
balanced, the stem moves downwards allowing the inlet valve of the max. pressure limiter
to close whilst the tip of the stem remains seated against the under face of the valve. Thus
the main control device is in a “lap“ position neither admitting nor releasing air from the
brake cylinder. Any further reduction in the brake pipe pressure unbalances the forces on
the hollow valve stem causing it to move upwards opening the inlet valve of the max.
pressure limiter to admit air to the brake cylinder until the increasing pressure in chamber
(24) restores the equilibrium of forces on the hollow valve stem. As the main control
device is sensitive to small changes to the forces acting on the hollow valve stem, the
brake cylinder pressure can be increased step by step by very small increments, thus
providing a fine control of the braking, until reaching max. pressure of 3,80 ± 0,10 bar in
the brake cylinder.
The max. pressure in the brake cylinder is limited by the max. pressure limiter HBG 310,
which is fitted above the main control valve.
The force of spring (61) and (62), as well as the dia. of pressure plate (64), are chosen in
such a way that the inlet valve (20) sets on its seat only when max. pressure in the brake
cylinder is achieved.
Cylinder pressure from chamber (24), through channel (65), goes into chamber (66) above
diaphragm (67). The adjustment of the max. cylinder pressure is performed by screwing
bolt (63) after opening of cover (68).
In the event that air should leak from the brake cylinder, as for instance due to a faulty
piston seal or pipe connection, the corresponding fall in pressure in chamber (24) will
unbalance the forces on the hollow valve stem causing it to rise and open the inlet valve
admitting air to the cylinder to compensate for the leakage. Air from the brake pipe can
flow to the auxiliary reservoir via the open valve (36) and check valve (2) thus maintaining
the brake effective and safe.
When the brake cylinder pressure falls below 0,25 bar, brake pipe pressure acting on stem
(31) of the locking member overcomes the brake cylinder pressure acting in chamber (10) on
the diaphragm (30) freeing the rocker lever to return to its normal position and reactivating the
accelerator valve in the event of re-braking. Thus the accelerator remains inoperative when
regulating the brake with low brake cylinder pressure in excess of 0,25 bar.
INEXHAUSTIBILITY, Scheme 3
During the final stages of brake release and when the brake pipe pressure has risen to
approximately 4.80 bar, the valve stem (44) moves towards the right and separates from
the valve (36), which closes. The spring (70) presses the sliding choke valve (71) against
the stop (74) in the housing. In this position communication between the brake pipe and
the control reservoir is restricted by the small bore of the choke (72). When the pressure
differential across the diaphragm (38) is at a low value, the force of the spring (37) is
greater than the force of the spring (70) so that the stem (44) moves further towards the
right, valve (73) opens and final equalization takes place quickly via the sensitivity choke
(8), thus the equalization of the brake pipe and the control reservoir pressure is completely
independent from the brake cylinder pressure so that brake cylinder leakage does not
have any influence over the design value for complete brake release. This arrangement
also protects the control reservoir from loss of air pressure, even under abnormal
circumstances.
When the control reservoir is charged to running pressure, or in the event of its being
overcharged, equalization with the brake pipe pressure is always via the sensitivity choke
(8) and the open valve (73). When closed valve (73) provides two important functions.
a) It restricts the loss of air from the control reservoir in the event of a small slow fall in
the brake pipe pressure. This could be the case with a train requiring only a very
light and brief brake application.
b) It retards the equalization of the control reservoir pressure with the brake pipe
pressure during the brake release.
