Main Features & Functions

Air Spring Failure Indication cum brake application device is to be provided on main line passenger
coaches with Air springs.
One equipment per Bogie is required.
The equipment is purely pneumatic system.
It works on both single / twin pipe brake system.
Have one sensor valve for each bellow on the bogie.
Drops the brake pipe pressure resulting in brake application.
It is capable of sensing the rupture and rapid exhaust of compressed air from any one bellow or
both bellows in a bogie.
Main Features & Functions
As soon as pressure depletion is detected below 1 ± 0.1 kg/cm2 in any one of two bellows or in
both the bellows in the same bogie, the equipment initiates an exhausting of Brake pipe pressure.
Provides audio (hissing sound) and visual indication (indicators on both side) to indicating bellow
burst in a particular bogie.
Isolating cock provided in the system to reset the equipment / stop BP exhaust. It enable to
resume the journey at a lower cautions speed up to the destination.
The performance of the equipment is identical either for an empty coach with the lowest level of
the bellow or for a coach loaded to its full capacity with the maximum bellow pressure.
