Flow Characterization and Redesign of Load-Leveling Valves for Improving Transient Dynamics of Heavy Truck Air Suspensions

This research provides a thorough flow characterization study to compare the functionality of two types of load-leveling valves that are commonly used for air suspension systems of commercial trucks. The first valve features a simple disk/slot design and is relatively compact for installation. The s...
