Air Brake Relay - How it Works. Air braking systems and Commercial vehicles

A more detailed look at the air braking system, in particular with this video at the air brake relay.
Relays are fitted to an air braking system for larger vehicles to speed up the application and release of the brakes, minimising brake lag, which is the time it takes between the driver operating the controls (park brake/foot brake valve) and the action actually happening at the brakes.

This is the clearest explanation and visualization of air brake systems that I've ever encountered. Thank you!

[@EducationalMechanics]

You're very welcome, thanks for watching.

[@5wh1]

I don't know how to thank you, sir! You nailed this extraordinary air brake relay video down to the science. Excellent devery style and methods to my mind's taste buds. I was blind about this concept, but you made me see! Once again, thank you and may God bless you!

[@vincesmith5846]

Yes! Very good video!! Thanks

[@mr_nice.]

Finaly, a video about air brakes that can be understood by everyone!

[@VivekAnandJ]

This was just awesome! I LOVED the "tu tu du..." part. Reminded me of one of the most epic stand up comedians I know, Eddie Izzard!

[@EducationalMechanics]

I love Eddie Izzard!

lol, I'm an instrument tech looking for information on pneumatic relays and this was the best video I could find to explain it. well done

[@EducationalMechanics]

Thanks Kevin 😀

[@tankosl]

Great video!!!!The simple graphics make the principles much easier to understand.....thank you very much!

[@EducationalMechanics]

Thanks Mark. It means a lot to us.

[@r0ckworthy]

Awesome video! Now I feel like I completely understand air brake relays, and this is extra helpful because I now know I have a faulty relay on my school bus. Cheers mate!

[@VIP18041988]

Very well explained, can be understood by everyone

[@zues2013]

Short concise and informative. Thank you

[@patodwyer721]

Great video, very informative.
For a small valve, there's a lot going on there. I'll have to look at this video a few times to take it all in. Thanks

[@johannap6252]

Thank you so much for this video! Very well explained. I just discovered your channel and am looking forward to watching more of your educational videos!

Thank you, this video is very helpful for brake system analysis

[@shawnwright2356]

Outstanding explanation. Graphics are awesome. Thank you for posting

[@atreaunormandy9827]

Great video really clarified how it works over what books tell you

[@jamieheald8732]

What's even more marvellous is the durability of these parts.

This satisfies my curiosity of that air below vehicle blown on the road. Exhaust... Air released from delivery pipe line.
Thank you.

Superb explanation. Someday (if you like) would love to see a similar video for DD3 (bus, non-spring brake) brake systems. Thanks.

[@truckcaretv8649]

Good 👍

[@CosgroveNotts]

Good stuff. Just like been a DAF training school but without felt tipped pens and no nodding off lol

[@EducationalMechanics]

Still got my red, yellow and blue felt tips! 😉

[@waymondhallum7203]

I was just working on one of those relays last week. Really threw me for a loop I think now I can fix it

[@christopherkane2842]

Awesome information thank you

[@sam111880]

very nice video cleared up the lag issues i was concerned about in air brakes as well as where the sound is coming from when air is released out the exhaust port when you let off the brake pedal as well as the brake button/throttle's on dash. Its this simple relay component that i over looked. The relay is an important components :)

[@truckcaretv8649]

Good 👍

[@edmourgagnon1504]

Wooooo.
Slow down mate.
Easy to see that you know your stuff.
But remember... good teachers speak slowly enough so that everyone will understand.
This is not a race...
10/10 for the graphics!

[@gowrisankarm4668]

Great explanation. Well done. I have one common question. What is use of solenoid valve in addition with relay valve and how its functioning?

This isn't the modern two line disk breaking system used on modern European articulated lorries, is it ?
These don't have a separate park break line do they ?

[@SuperBayarea87]

Thanks a lot...Excellent video. Can you do the same detailed video for the inner operation of an air compressor?

Is there any valve available that is adjustable to give a higher service brake pressure

Great video but where does the exhaust hose(yellow) from the parking brakes goes to?

I think it was pretty neat that you seem to talk like the dolphin in Family Guy (Billy Finn)! :)
