Air Brake System Question

[FIREMECH1]

My question about adjusting the cut-out pressure was in how it would work with the station compressor as an in-line dryer for the station. Should I adjust the station pressure to match the dryer cut-out so it exhausts when it is supposed to?

No, you shouldn't have to adjust anything. With that, I'll post up a diagram of what you will need to make it work, as it does on the rig. I've set one up last year with a governor, and it works fine.

My problem is time right now, and the reason for sporadic responses. I've been working 14 hour days since Dec 6 due to the onslaught of snow then, and lately, and being predicted. I still haven't done Christmas with the kids and grandkids yet.

Thanks for any help you can give, a diagram would be great. No rush.

To be honest, I have never heard of an AD-8. Outside of the AD-9's and AD-IP/SP, there isn't one that I know of.



The only way to control or adjust the cut-out pressure is through the governor.

EDIT: I'm not sure who is more confused, you or me???

Uhm...... yeah.... I was wrong. AD-9. Not sure where I got the 8 from, but at least I screwed up on an international public forum! No... wait... that's bad too..

Sorry about the confusion.
