Replacing the pneumatic booster with hydraulic clutch

We replace the CCGT if there are malfunctions:

  • - jamming of the clutch actuator (with the clutch master cylinder and clutch mechanism in good working order);

Checking the pneumatic booster for tightness and performance

We check on the stand, made according to the scheme

Checking the air booster for tightness and performance

The hydraulic system must be filled with brake fluid before testing. Fill with brake fluid and pump air using pump 10 of tank 11 and bypass valve 14 installed on the pneumatic booster

When pump 10 is running, it is necessary to unscrew the bypass valve by 0.5 turns for 3-4 seconds. In this case, the air in the hydraulic system will exit through the pipeline 12 into the tank 11. After all the air has escaped, close the bypass valve.

Simultaneously, with the help of pump 10 and tap 9, the control cylinder is filled with working fluid

The hydraulic system of the booster is checked for leaks using the control cylinder 7. In this case, the valve 15 of the pneumatic system must be closed (there must be no air in the pneumatic system)

During the test and the tightness of the hydraulic system, the stop q1 must be rigidly fixed. In this case, the load q must provide a pressure in the hydraulic system of the booster of 5.8 MPa (60 kgf / cm 2) according to the pressure gauge 6

During the test, the presence of brake fluid leaks through the seals in the amplifier elements is not allowed

The piston of the control cylinder 7 under the action of the load q must be motionless for one minute

The tightness of the pneumatic system is checked using compressed air tank 5. During the test, tank 5 must be under an air pressure of 687 kPa (7 kgf/cm 2) with tap 3 closed.

When tap 15 is open, air leakage through the amplifier gearbox is unacceptable. At the same time, the air pressure in the tank 5, controlled by the pressure gauge 4, should not decrease within one minute of the acceptance test

Checking for performance is carried out during the joint operation of all elements of the pneumatic booster.

In order to check the tests on stop q1, a dynamometer must be installed.

Load q must have three values ​​A 1, A 2, A 3, providing pressure in the booster hydraulic system (P) 784, 1156 , 1569 kPa (8, 12 and 16 kgf/cm 2).

The air pressure supplied to the pneumatic system during testing must not fall below 589 kPa (6 kgf/cm 2).

When loading the control cylinder 7 with a load q according to the above three values, the force on the pusher rod must correspond to the graph

control cylinder loading diagram

When holding at each point indicated on the graph for 15 seconds, the readings of pressure gauges 2, 6 of the dynamometer should not change
