AIR BRAKING SYSTEM
This is new method of braking system, which is more efficient than the vacuum brakes. It is used
at first in Rajdhani and satabadi coaches. Progress conversion of vacuum brakes in air-brake has
being undertaken.
The main parts of air-brake system are following-
1. Brake cylinder.
2. Brake pipe.
3. Feed pipe.
4. Distributer pipe.
5. Angle lock.
6. House pipe.
7. Auxiliary reservoir.
8. Guards van valve & pressure gauge.
9. Isolating cock.
10. Passenger emerging alarm signal device.
11. Dirt collector.
Description of some important parts of air-braking system-
BRAKE CYLINDER-
There are two 355 mm brake cylinder under frame, which is fed by common distributor
valve. It has the piston-rod arrangement, which works under pressure. Brake cylinder is
connected to distributor valve on one side and by pivot to the block cylinder.
BRAKE PIPE-
This is charged from the locomotive at 5 kg/cm3 and causes application and release of brakes
due to change in its pressure through the locomotive control system. The pipe linked to
distributor system.
FEED PIPE-
It having 6kg/cm3 pressure, and keeps the auxiliary reservoir charge at fuel pressure even
when brakes are applied. Feed pipe are also connected to the distributor valve.
DISTRIBUTOR VALVE-
It is connected to the brake pipe auxiliary reservoir and brake cylinder. It controls the
pressure in the brake cylinder. It controls the pressure in the brake cylinder in proportion to
the reduction of pressure in brake-pipe.
ANGLE COCK- It is use for alarming purpose.
HOUSE COUPLING-
Both the brake-pipe and feed pipe are fitted to the angle cock outlet for the passage of
compressed air from one coach to another mean of braided rubber and metal coupling.
GUARD VAN VALVE & PRESSURE GAUGE-
These are provided in the guard’s compartments. These are provided to control the train
movement.
ISOLATING COCK-
Use for isolating the air from one point to the other point.
CHOKE-
It is device for restricting the flow of air from one point brakes circuit to other point. The
handle of this cock is kept parallel to the pipe to indicate that it is in open conditions.
DIRT COLLECTOR- it is used for cleaning the air in brake pipe.
The brake cylinder piston work in thee function that is as follows: -
1) Charging
2) Releasing
3) Application
1) Charging: -
During this stage, Brake pipe is charge to 5 kilograms per centimeter square pressure is
turn charges control Reservoir and distributor reservoir to 5 kilogram centimeter square
pressure via distributor valve. At this stage, brake Cylinder gets vented to atm. Through
passage in distributor valve.
2) Release Stage: -
for releasing brakes, The Brakes pipe is again charged to 5 kilograms per centimeter
square pressure by compressor through driver’s Brake valve. This action position,
distributor valve in such a way that Auxiliary reservoir get isolated from brake cylinder is
vented to atmosphere through distributor valve and thus, the brake is released.
3) Application: -
For application of brakes The pressure in brake pipe has to be dropped this is done by
venting air from driver’s brake valve. Reduction in brake pipe pressure position the
distributer valve in such a way that the control reservoir gets disconnected from brake
pipe and auxiliary connected to break cylinder. This result in increase in air pressure in
brake cylinder resulting in application of brake. The Magnitude of brake force is
proportional to reduction in brake pipe pressure.

Q.2 The pressure inside the feed pipe is
(a) 4 kg/cm2
(b) 6 kg/cm2
(c) 7 kg/cm2
(d) 12 kg/cm2
Correct answer: b
Q.3 What is the function of dirt collector
(a) collect dirt
(b) collect air
(c) clean air
(d) clean distributor valve
correct answer: c
Q.4 what is the diameter of brake cylinder
(a) 355 mm
(b) 259 mm
(c) 311 mm
(d) 368 mm
correct answer: a
Q.5 Brake pipe is charged from
(a) auxiliary reservoir
(b) control reservoir
(c) locomotive
(d) non-of these
Correct answer: c
Q.6 Brake pipe and feed pipe are linked to
(a) distributor valve
(b) check valve
(c) auxiliary reservoir
(d) non- of these
Correct answer: a
Q.7 which one is control pressure in brake cylinder
(a) cut off valve
(b) distributor valve
(c) feed pipe
(d) brake pipe
Correct answer: b
Q.8 choke is used for
(a) alarm purpose
(b) restricting flow of air
(c)isolating the air
(d) non-of these
Correct answer: b
Q.9 the pressure in brake pipe is reduced by
(a) distributor valve
(b) cut off valve
(c) check valve
(d) driver’s brake valve
Correct answer: d
Q.10 how many stages in air brake system
(a) 4
(b) 5
(c) 3
(d) 2
Correct answer: 3
