The two accumulators for the service brakes contain piston (7) , which is sealed. The piston moves
back and forth inside the bore of each accumulator. The chamber is charged to the proper precharge
pressure through nitrogen charging valve (3) .
Oil from the accumulator charging valve flows through outlet (6) . The oil then enters pressure oil
chamber (5) . The oil then pushes piston (7) . This causes the dry nitrogen gas to compress. When the
pressure in the brake system reaches the cut out pressure, the supply of oil is stopped by the cut out
valve.
When a brake pedal is depressed, oil from chamber (5) flows outward through outlet (6) . This oil
flows to the service brake control valve and the oil then applies the service brakes.
