ABSTRACT:
A brake accelerator is operable sequentially upon each successive braking stage over the service application range of brake line pressure reductions and is employed with a single release brake control valve of an indirectly acting compressed air brake for railway vehicles. The control valve has a service brake portion and an emergency brake portion provided with a emergency brake piston one side of which is subjected to brake line pressure and the other side is subjected to auxiliary chamber pressure . The accelerator has a main piston which operates an inlet valve to connect the accelerator to the brake line. The main piston which is also subjected on one side to brake line pressure and the other side to auxiliary chamber pressure is moved to a service position upon an application of the brakes to open the inlet valve and connect a control piston with the brake line such that the control piston is subjected on both sides to brake line pressure. The control piston is repeatedly moved between two positions such that quantities of air are cyclically withdrawn from the brake line and the auxiliary chamber to maintain the pressure relationship existing on both sides of the main piston during the service application. The drawing off of air from the auxiliary chamber by the control piston is carried out separately and independently from venting of the auxiliary chamber by the emergency brake piston.
