Functional description - Brake charging valve
• The charging valve has three positions and is spring loaded
• There is a constant 150 bar spring load on the valve

• When brake charging pump deliver oil flow to the brake system

• The accumulators, start charging and the pressure increases in the brake
charging system (MP503)

• Charging valve start shifting against the 150 bar spring force

Training modules
BRAKE HYDRAULICS
Functional description - Brake activation
• When the charging valve shifts to 2nd position the charging pressure rises
up to 150 bar (MP503)

• To keep the valve in 2nd position, a constant 150 bar hydraulic pressure is
required
• Which shifts the valve against the 150 bar spring force

• At the same time, oil is directed to the relief valve and on top of the
charging valve

• The oil pressure which is directed to the top of the charging valve adds on
to the 150 bar spring force

• The maximum hydraulic pressure which can be added to the spring force is
limited to 40 bar by the relief valve

• Thus the total pressure over the charging valve is (150 + 40 = 190 bar)
• Thus the charging pressure increases up to 190 bar (MP503) till the
charging valve shifts to 3rd position

Grease reservoir - bleeding screw
• Bleeding screw to is provided at the top of the tank
• Screw is used to bleed any trapped air, inside the tank
• It is recommended to bleed air, every time the reservoir is filled with new grease

• Bleeding prevents aeriation in the greasing line

• Open the screw by few turns and wait until clear oil comes out without air

<

Training modules
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
Hydraulic pump
• Solenoid valve controls the pilot pressure flow (35Bar) to the double acting pump (3)
• Pilot pressure moves larger piston back and forth accordingly to the solenoid valve status

• The diameter ratio of larger and smaller piston is 8:1

• This difference in surface area creates higher pressure in the grease lines

• Maximum grease pressure depends on the pilot pressure and can go up to 280bar (35x8=280bar)
• Smaller piston pushes out grease to the dosers via direction valve

<

Training modules
LUBRICATION SYSTEM
Directional valve
• The direction valve(4) switches over the pressurized grease between line 1 and 2
• With every stroke, grease is switched over between line 1 & 2

• The spool inside the direction valve changes position with each stroke

• Two non-return valve in the direction valve are used to bleed the pump

Manual activation units
• Used to manually activate the fire suppression system
• Main components:
• Safety tie
• Handle
• Pressure indicator

• Handle is secured with safety tie (1) 1

• Safety tie breaks when the handle(2) is turned


2
• Turning the handle connects pressured activation line to atmosphere
• Drop in pressure in the activation circuit, activates the fire suppression system

• The pressure indicator shows the pressure in the activation circuit

FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
Pressure indicators
• The pressure indicators shows the pressure in the activation circuit
• There are three pressure indicators in the circuit
• One on the tank control valve assembly
• One each on both the manual activation units

• The pressure indicators indicates the charged pressure in the system


• The correct charge pressure is 1500 kPa or 15bar

• When the system is pressurized, the gauge needle must always be in green zone

FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
Auto detection tube
• Detection tube is connected to the activation line
• In case of fire the tube is designed to melting

• Melting point of tube is 150 °C

• Melting of the tube, causes pressure drop in the activation circuit

• Drop in pressure activates the fire suppression system

Note: This training section is to provide a basic information about the Eclipse fire suppression system and does not entitle <
< the participant(s) to service or install the fire suppression system.

FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
Twin pressure switch
• Twin pressure switch monitors the activation line pressure
• S3120 - Low pressure switch (1200 KPa)
• S3119 – Discharge switch (900 Kpa)

• The pressure setting of the switches are marked on both switches


• System pressure input is sent to the engine shutdown panel
• Engine shut-down panel, give warning or alarm in case of drop in pressure

• System activate, if pressure drops below 900 Kpa

Note: This training section is to provide a basic information about the Eclipse fire suppression system and does not entitle <

FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
Engine shutdown panel
• Engine shut down panel gives audio-visual alarm
• Green light – Tank pressure OK
• Yellow light – Tank pressure Low (< 1200 Kpa)
• Red light – System fault or discharge (< 900 Kpa)

• In case of fire, engine shutdown automatically after 6 seconds delay

• Pressing the delay extension button adds delays shutdown by 20 sec.

• Manual override key switch allow the engine starting, if the system is discharged
