IMPROVEMENT OF THE BRAKE RELEASE SYSTEM OF THE PUMPER АЦ–4–60(5309)–505М

Abstract

The brake release system of the pumper AЦ - 4 - 60 (5309) - 505М is considered in the work. Nowadays those fire engines are supplied to the divisions of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine. The tactical and technical characteristics of the pumper including the braking system were analysed. Due to the results of the analysis  we proposed to equip the pneumatic drive of the pumper with an additional compressed air tank, which is used by the units of the gas-smoke rescue service of the SES of Ukraine. Introduction of such a tank can significantly facilitate the daily work of drivers and reduce the time of departure at least by 11,59 %.
