The automatic level control air dryer attaches directly
to the automatic level control air compressor head and provides the following
two functions:
• | The automatic level control air dryer contains a dry chemical
which absorbs moisture from the compressed air before it goes to the air shocks.
The moisture is later removed from the chemical when the dry air is exhausted
from the air shocks and passes back through the automatic level control
air dryer. |
• | The automatic level control air dryer contains a valving arangement
which maintains a minimum pressure of 48-97 kPa (7-14 psi)
in the air shocks at all times in order to minimize friction between the
air shock sleeve and the body. This minimum pressure feature improves
vehicle ride and shock reliability. |
