ABSTRACT

elf inating tire system is an automaticmechanism for maintaining proper level of pressureinside the vehicle tires, or in other words it is an

automatic ination or deation system used intires. This system reduces the wear of the tread ofthe tire and increases driving comfort. !t alsoincreases feel e"ciency and ensures safe driving.

The main self inating used are #T! and T$system.

Detect when the air pressure in a particular tirehas dropped, this means they have to constantlymonitor the air pressure in each tire.

In(ate the tire back to the proper level, this

means there has to be an air supply as well as acheck valve that opens only when needed.

CENTRAL TIRE INFLATION SYSTEM

The idea behind the #T! is to provide control over the air

pressure in each tire as a way to improve performance on

di&erent surfaces. 'or e%ample, lowering the air pressure in

a tire creates a larger area of contact between the tire and

the ground and makes driving on softer ground much

easier. !t also does less damage to the surface. This is

important on work sites and in agricultural (elds.Another function of the #T! is to maintain pressure in the

tires if there is a slow leak or puncture. !n this case, the

system controls ination automatically based on the

selected pressure the driver has set.

A 0** ,* is located at each wheel end. 'or dual

wheels, the valves are typically connected only to the outer

wheel so the pressure between the two tires can be

balanced. *art of the wheel valve+s ob is to isolate the tire

from the system when it+s not in use in order to let the

pressure o& of the seal and e%tend its life. The wheel valve

also enables on-demand ination and deation of the

tires.An **#$%" %"#$% '"# (ECU) mounted behind the

passenger seat is the brain of the system. !t processes driver

commands, monitors all signals throughout the system and

tells the system to check tire pressures every / minutes to

make sure the selected pressure is being maintained. The

The pneumatic control unit also contains a sensor that

transmits tire-pressure readings to the 0#U.

An %*$,#%$ %"#$% ,"* allows the driver to select tire-

pressure modes to match current conditions. This dash-

mounted panel displays current tire pressures, selected

modes and system status. When the driver selects a tire-

pressure setting, signals from the control panel travel to the

electronic control unit to the "*'/,# %"#$% '"# to

the wheel valves

TYRE MAINTENANCE SYSTEM

The system has three main components1

The tire hose assembly provides the air route to inate

the tire and has check valves so that the air lines and

seals do not have to be pressuri2ed when the system is

not checking or inating the tires. This cuts down on

wear and tear on the seals.

The rotary oint is comprised of air and oil seals and

bearings and connects the air hose from the non-

rotating a%le to the rotating hubcap. !ts air seals prevent

The manifold houses the pressure protection valve,

which makes sure the system doesn+t pull air if the

brakes+ air supply is below 3/ psi. !t also houses an

inlet (lter to keep the air clean, a pressure sensor to

measure tire pressures and solenoids that control

airow to the tires

The A!456 system is a constant monitoringsystem that uses a series of check valves todetect a loss in air pressure.

When a tire loses pressure, due to a punctureor other seepage, a series of check valvesautomatically detects it.

The ystem then immediately draws air from

the vehicle7s pneumatic system and directs it toeach tire requiring air.

The air pressure is delivered via the trailer7shollow a%le housing.

The air then goes through the hub assemblyand into the tires. !t is completely isolated from

the brake system

MERITOR TIRE INFLATION

SYSTEMThe $eritor Tire !nation ystem 8$T!9 is designedfor use on tractor-trailers. !t uses compressed air

from the trailer to inate any tire that falls below itsappropriate pressure. Air from the e%isting trailer airsupply is routed to a control bo% and then into eacha%le. The airlines run through the a%les to carry airthrough a rotary union assembly at the spindle end

in order to distribute air to each tire. !f there issigni(cant air-pressure loss, an indicator lightinforms the driver.

CONCLUSION

Automatic tire pressure ination system has manyadvantageous bene(ts in the transportation industry.

These bene(ts include, improved vehicle mobilitydue to the increase in traction when tire pressuresare lowered, improved ride quality and cargo safety

due to the reduction in vehicle vibration when thecorrect tire pressure is used for a particular roadcondition, reduced road maintenance becausesediment production is limited and lowered road

construction cost, increased fuel e"ciency and aconsiderable increase in the tire life of the vehicles.
