SELF INFLATING TYRE SYSTEM

……tire system for future



Introduction

Tires lose air through normal driving (especially after hitting pot

holes) and seasonal changes in temperatures resulting in under-

inflation

Under-inflation is bad for tyres because it results in wear of tyre

threads ,affects the handling of cars and is generally unsafe.

The Self inflating tires is designed to inflate or deflate tiresautomatically.

Tires need more air while driving on hard surfaces at high speedsand less air for driving on soft surfaces such as soil or sand.

etect whether the air pressure in a particular tyre hasdropped using suitable pressure sensors and give the input

to electronic control unit (%#U)ECU controls the pneumatic system consisting up ofcontrol valves , air source and hose-pipes

To compensate the pressure loss by inflating that tire

bac to the proper level thereby maintaining correct air pressure

This entire process can be automated

)* hen a tire loses pressure, due to a puncture or other seepage, a series ofchec valves automatically detects it.

,* The air pressure is delivered via thetrailers hollow a/le housing.

-* The air then goes through the hubassembly and into the tires. It iscompletely isolated from the braesystem
