Can you explain what the quick release valve is for that is being installed at the end of this video? I went to the Pacbrake website to see if I could find it there and had no luck.
The quick release valve is installed to help discharge air from the actuating air cylinder on the butterfly valve, improving the release time to reopen the exhaust brake to full exhaust flow. This is only applicable for applications where the air solenoid is located more than about 3 feet away from the air cylinder, which also discharges air when the brake shuts off.
Thanks for the detail and proper illustration
I have the same Monaco, with a 8.3 cummins, Is there a way to test just by hitting the pedal? while idling?
Thanks
