The core function of the Howo T5 air reservoir is to provide a stable air supply for the vehicle's pneumatic control system, ensuring the proper operation of critical functions. Specifically, its roles are as follows:
- Storing compressed air: The air receiver tank stores clean compressed air that has been compressed by the air compressor and dried by a dryer, serving as an "energy reserve station" for the pneumatic control system. This helps prevent the air compressor from running too frequently while ensuring stable air pressure during usage.
- Ensuring the braking system operates: This is the most critical function. When braking, the compressed air stored in the air reservoir is delivered through pipelines to the brake chambers, activating the braking components to slow down or stop the vehicle. Similarly, releasing the parking brake (handbrake) also requires the air reservoir to supply sufficient air pressure, ensuring the vehicle can start moving smoothly.
- Supports other pneumatic functions: In addition to braking, auxiliary systems in some vehicle models—such as clutch assist, pneumatic doors and windows, and air horns—also rely on compressed air supplied by the air reservoir as their power source, ensuring these functions operate properly.
- Buffering pressure fluctuations: When the air compressor is operating, air pressure may fluctuate. The air receiver tank helps to buffer these fluctuations, ensuring a smoother air supply to various systems and reducing shock loads on pipelines and components.
- Assisted separation of water and impurities: Although the air dryer has already treated the air, small amounts of moisture and impurities may still remain. The air receiver tank can temporarily store these contaminants, and regular draining—by opening the bottom drain valve—helps minimize their impact on the air system.
