F00291814 Air Dryer Valve for Lohr Vehicles

What does an air dryer valve do?

This air dryer valve plays a critical role in the pneumatic brake system by managing air quality and moisture removal. By effectively filtering out contaminants, it protects downstream components from corrosion and prevents freezing, which is essential for maintaining consistent braking performance in heavy commercial vehicles.

Vehicle compatibility and application

This specific component is designed for use in Lohr vehicles. It ensures the integrity of the air supply by managing pressure levels around 8.5 BAR, making it a vital part for maintaining the pneumatic stability of the vehicle's braking architecture.

Installation and technical specifications

Installation requires attention to the specific port configurations, including the M22x1.5 and M12x1.5 threads, to ensure a leak-free connection within the brake system. The integrated 24 V heater provides essential protection against moisture buildup in cold climates, ensuring the valve operates reliably under diverse environmental conditions.

Maintenance and reliability

Regular inspection of the valve and its connections helps prevent system failures caused by air contamination. For optimal performance, technicians should verify that all port seals are intact and that the electrical connections for the heater are secure during routine maintenance.

OE cross-reference
