Description

What does a 4-circuit protection valve do?

This 4-circuit protection valve plays a critical role in the pneumatic brake system of heavy commercial vehicles. It functions by partitioning the air supply into multiple circuits, ensuring that a leak in one section does not compromise the entire braking capability. Built with high-strength components, it maintains stable pressure distribution across all lines.

System compatibility and fitment

The component is compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems and other heavy-duty pneumatic architectures. It manages air flow through specific ports, including an M22x1.5 inlet and multiple M16x1.5 outlets, to maintain optimal system integrity during operation.

Installation and technical specifications

For professional installation, technicians should verify the pressure settings: Port 21 and 22 operate at a 7 BAR opening pressure, while Port 23 and 24 utilize a 5.7 BAR opening pressure. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent pressure drops in the braking circuit.

Maintenance and inspection

Regular inspection of the valve seating and port integrity is recommended to prevent air leaks in the pneumatic circuit.

OE cross-reference

303.02.0094 (4-circuit protection valve) is the equivalent of the Knorr-Bremse OE number. This part directly replaces Knorr-Bremse OE number AE4427.

FAQ

What is the function of a 4-circuit protection valve?
It partitions the air supply into four independent circuits, ensuring that if one circuit loses pressure due to a leak, the remaining circuits continue to function for safe braking.
What are the port sizes for this valve?
The primary port is M22x1.5, while the secondary outlets feature M16x1.5 thread sizes for standard pneumatic connections.
How do the opening pressures differ between ports?
This unit features two different pressure settings: Ports 21 and 22 have a 7 BAR opening pressure, whereas Ports 23 and 24 operate at a 5.7 BAR opening pressure.
Is this component compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems?
Yes, this component is designed to be compatible with Knorr-Bremse systems within heavy commercial vehicle pneumatic braking architectures.
What are the OE reference numbers of this part?
303.02.0094 directly replaces Knorr-Bremse OE number AE4427.
