Compressed-air arrangement for trucks

Abstract

A compressed-air supply system for goods vehicles, comprising an air-suspension system and a brake system, wherein the brake system is dimensioned to operate at a lower air pressure than the air-suspension system, and wherein the compressed-air supply system comprises at least one compressed-air tank (43, 51) for supplying the brake system with compressed air. The compressed-air tank (43, 44) is dimensioned for an air pressure which is greater than or equal to the air pressure which is demanded in the air-suspension system and, further, the compressed-air tank is connected to both the air-suspension system and the brake system and comprises compressed-air conduits (40, 40'; 52, 52') through which compressed air can pass by way of one or more outlets in the compressed-air tank (43, 51) to the brake system and the air-suspension system, respectively, wherein a pressure-limiting valve (44, 55) is arranged downstream of the outlet to the compressed-air conduit(s) connecting the compressed-air tank (43, 51) with the brake system.
