Moisture content has an important impact on the performance of the brake air dryer, which is directly related to the safety and reliability of the braking system and the driving comfort of the entire vehicle. In the automotive industry, brake gas dryers play a key role, and their performance is closely related to the normal operation of the braking system.
Braking system performance
Excessive moisture content will affect the stability of the brake gas, because moisture can easily cause blockage of the air path in the brake system. Especially in low temperature environments, the moisture may condense into ice, further hindering the normal flow of brake gas. This may result in slow response of the brakes or even brake failure, increasing the safety risk of the vehicle while driving.
Brake system corrosion
Moisture in moisture can cause corrosion of metal components in the braking system, especially when there are metals such as iron and steel that are susceptible to oxidation in the braking system. For a long time, corrosion caused by moisture will damage key components such as brake pipelines and brake valves. In severe cases, it may lead to leakage and failure of the brake system.
Reduced brake performance
Excessive moisture content will increase the moisture in the brake gas, resulting in unstable brake gas pressure. This will reduce the performance of the brakes, make the braking force of the brakes uneven, increase the braking distance, and reduce the braking efficiency of the vehicle.
Braking system life shortened
The presence of moisture will accelerate the aging and damage of brake system components, such as brake valves, air pressure sensors, etc. Premature damage to these components will shorten the life of the entire braking system, increase repair and replacement costs, and have a negative impact on the overall reliability of the vehicle.
Reduced vehicle driving comfort
Moisture can cause rust inside the brakes, causing the brakes to move less smoothly, thus affecting the driving comfort of the vehicle. When the brakes are working, abnormal noises and vibrations may occur, causing discomfort and unsafe feelings to the driver.
Increased energy consumption
Excessive moisture content will cause the brake air pressure to be unstable and the brakes to not work properly, which will increase the energy consumption of the vehicle. Because when the brake air pressure is unstable, the brakes require more brake air to maintain braking performance, which increases the vehicle's energy consumption.
