Construcción e implementación de un banco de comprobación de válvulas neumáticas distribuidoras y de flujo que se utilizan en los sistemas automotrices para camiones europeos en la Escuela de Ingeniería Automotriz.

Abstract

The construction and implementation of a check bank for pneumatic valves and flowdistribution used in automotive systems for European truck at the School of AutomotiveEngineering, aims to have equipment which permits to perform realapplications in thearea of pneumatic and help to improve the skills of the students.To prepare the check bank it was preceded with collecting performance information ofpneumatic valves used in automotive systems of European trucks, subsequently it wasdesigned and analyzed both the components on the mechanical part such as thepneumatic.The support structure was built with square structural tube and then covered with steelsheets in order to give a better appearance, for the development of the pneumaticcircuit 3/2 manually–operated valves were used which are responsible for controllingthe passage of compressed air into the vas couplings, as well as the adaptation of asingle-acting cylinder that helps to hold the check valve and prevent itfrommovingduring the verification process. As a pilot project, this bank was tested for correctsealing leaks and performance-testing pressure to control opening and closing ofvalves.The bank implemented is an educational is an educational tool to know and understandthe operation, parts and settings of pneumatic components for European trucks,because it has detailed guidance on the procedures to be applied in the trials. Theproper management and used of equipment that must be handled prior to theunderstanding and effective training operation to obtain optimum results during practiceis recommended.
