    摘要: A system for monitoring the state of a wheel of a rail vehicle includes an acquisition unit that is designed, upon a braking event, to acquire at least one operating parameter for the wheel, an evaluation unit that is designed to determine a temperature value for the wheel based on the acquired operating parameter; and a control unit that is designed to generate and to output an output on the basis of the determined temperature value. It furthermore relates to a method for monitoring the state of a wheel of a rail vehicle, in which, upon a braking event, at least one operating parameter for the wheel is acquired, a temperature value for the wheel is determined based on the acquired operating parameter and an output is generated and output on the basis of the determined temperature value.

    摘要: A brake control valve arrangement includes an electro-pneumatic brake control valve block having a hold valve and a vent valve, a main regulator valve and an emergency and a tare pressure regulator. The valve block has an inlet for a brake supply pressure and an outlet for a brake cylinder, wherein an inlet and a vent pneumatic opening is provided for the hold valve and vent valve. The arrangement also includes a configuration module in pneumatic connection with the brake supply pressure and providing a pneumatic path to the inlet, and a pneumatic path to the vent valve from the brake cylinder, the arrangement also including at least one choke configured to control air flow in pneumatic paths to the inlet opening and vent opening.

    摘要: A levelling system for a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, includes at least one levelling cylinder and a levelling piston. The levelling piston is at least partially provided in the levelling cylinder in a movable manner for setting the level of the rail vehicle. Further, the levelling system includes at least one guiding element, which is arranged within the levelling piston and partially protrudes from the levelling piston into at least one recess of the levelling cylinder such that an end stop in a longitudinal direction is provided for the relative movement between the levelling piston and the levelling cylinder.

    摘要: The invention relates to a drain valve for a cooler of a compressor, with a pressure chamber which can be connected to the inner chamber of the cooler by means of a connection opening, and an outlet for removing a condensate. The valve according to the invention comprises a pneumatic switching device and a non-return valve which are operatively connected to the pressure chamber, with an operative connection between the switching device and the non-return valve by means of which the non-return valve can be switched to an open position by the switching device. During the idle operation of the compressor, the non-return valve can be switched by means of the switching device into an open position such that condensate from the connection opening can be removed through the outlet via the non-return valve.
