What is an Emergency Valve?

An emergency valve is a critical component designed to ensure the safe and rapid operation of the braking system. This valve controls the brake pressure in emergency situations, preventing wheel lock-up and ensuring the vehicle stops in a balanced manner.

Working Principle of an Emergency Valve
  • Pressure Control: Regulates hydraulic or air pressure in the braking system.
  • Preventing Lock-up: Prevents wheel slippage by adjusting brake pressure.
  • ABS Integration: Provides directional control during braking by working in harmony with the ABS system.

These features increase vehicle safety in emergency braking situations and maintain driving stability.

Components of an Emergency Valve
  • Brake Pressure Sensors: Monitors brake pressure and activates the valve when sudden pressure is needed.
  • Valve Body: Robust structure where brake fluid or air pressure is regulated.
  • ABS Integration Module: Ensures brake safety by working in integration with ABS.
  • Sealing Gaskets: Ensures proper direction of pressure.
  • Connection Parts: Provides connection with the braking system, ensuring effective transmission of brake pressure.

VADEN ORIGINAL emergency valve components offer reliability and long-lasting performance in commercial vehicles.

Advantages of Emergency Valves
  • Fast Braking Response: Regulates brake pressure instantly.
  • Safe Braking: Increases brake safety by activating in emergency situations.
  • Balanced Driving: Maintains vehicle balance by working in integration with ABS.
  • Long-Lasting Use: Offers long-term performance thanks to its durable structure.
Emergency Valve Faults and Symptoms
  • Decrease in Brake Performance: The vehicle not stopping in a balanced way during braking.
  • ABS Light Illumination: The ABS or brake warning light illuminates on the instrument panel.
  • Stiffening of the Brake Pedal: The pedal may become stiffer than normal when the valve malfunctions.
  • Lengthened Braking Distance: The braking distance increases as a result of the valve failing to regulate the pressure properly.

It is recommended to check the emergency valve when any of these symptoms are observed.

Emergency Valve Maintenance and Replacement Tips
  • Valve Body Cleaning: Should be cleaned regularly, kept free from dirt and dust.
  • Brake Fluid Check: It should be checked regularly whether the hydraulic level is sufficient.
  • ABS Integration Check: It should be ensured that it works in harmony with ABS.
  • Sealing Gaskets Check: It should be checked whether there is pressure leakage.
