Quick Release Valve

What is a Quick Release Valve?

A quick release valve is a component developed to ensure the fast and safe operation of the braking system. This valve enables the brakes to release more quickly and safely by rapidly releasing hydraulic or air pressure during braking.

Working Principle of a Quick Release Valve

• Pressure Reduction: Shortens the pressure reduction time in the braking system, allowing the brakes to be released quickly.
• Preventing Lock-up: Reduces the risk of wheel lock-up by releasing pressure during braking.
• Fast Response: Ensures that the brakes respond faster during sudden braking situations.

Components of a Quick Release Valve

• Valve Body: The main component where brake pressure is released.
• Air Inlet and Outlet Channels: Channels that enable the release of brake pressure.
• Sealing Gaskets: Provides sealing to ensure the pressure is directed correctly.
• Valve Diaphragm: Optimizes braking control by ensuring that the pressure is released in a balanced way.
• Mounting Elements: Ensures that the valve is securely mounted on the vehicle.

Advantages of Quick Release Valves

• Fast Brake Response: Allows the brakes to release quickly by releasing brake pressure rapidly.
• Brake Safety: Supports safe braking by maintaining vehicle balance in sudden braking situations.
• Long-Lasting Use: A quick release valve made from high-quality components ensures less wear on the braking system.
• Increasing Brake Performance: Faster release shortens braking time and increases driving safety.

Quick Release Valve Faults and Symptoms

• Delay in Brake Response: Slow response of the brakes may indicate a problem with the release valve.
• Lengthened Braking Distance: If the valve cannot release pressure quickly enough, it can lengthen the braking distance.
• Brake Noises: Unusual noises during braking may indicate that the valve components are worn.
• Air Leaks: Air leakage may indicate that the valve gaskets are damaged.

Quick Release Valve Maintenance

• Valve Body Cleaning: The valve body should be cleaned regularly and kept free from dirt and dust.
• Gasket Check: It should be ensured that the sealing gaskets are intact, and they should be replaced if there is leakage.
• Preventing Air Leaks: The tightness of the connections should be checked to prevent leakage in the air channels.
• Lubrication of Diaphragm and Parts: The necessary lubrication should be done regularly for the smooth operation of the valve diaphragm and other moving parts.

Conclusion

A quick release valve is an important component that enhances safety in the braking system and ensures that the brakes respond faster. VADEN ORIGINAL quick release valves are manufactured to high-quality standards for commercial vehicles, providing long-lasting and reliable performance.
