When the driver presses the brake pedal, it activates a mechanical or hydraulic mechanism within the brake master valve.
This mechanism generates hydraulic pressure, which is then regulated and distributed to the wheel brakes according to the force applied by the driver.
Pressure Distribution:
The brake master valve ensures that the generated hydraulic pressure is evenly distributed to each wheel brake, promoting balanced braking across all wheels.
This is crucial for maintaining vehicle stability and preventing skidding or loss of control during braking.
Antilock Braking System (ABS) Integration:
In modern HOWO vehicles equipped with ABS, the brake master valve works in conjunction with the ABS control unit.
When the ABS system detects wheel lock-up, it modulates the hydraulic pressure from the brake master valve to prevent wheel lock-up and maintain traction.
Emergency Braking:
In case of an emergency, the brake master valve can quickly respond to maximize braking force, reducing stopping distance and enhancing safety.
Durability and Reliability:
The brake master valve is designed to withstand high pressures and temperatures, ensuring long-term durability and reliability in various operating conditions.
Ease of Maintenance:
The brake master valve is typically accessible for maintenance and repair, allowing technicians to inspect and replace components as needed.
