Section IV. CARRIER MOISTURE EJECTOR VALVE ASSEMBLY
326. General
The carrier moisture ejector valve assembly is a
small relay valve with no delivery ports. A line from the
bottom of the dry tank to the inlet port of the ejector
carries a combination of air, moisture, and sludge into
the area in the body between the seat, that the movable
seat seals against, and the O-ring. With each brake
application, air enters the ejector through the application
line port. This application air forces the actuator down
and pushes the valve away from its seat on the casting,
allowing about a spoonful of moisture to be admitted to
the area under the O-ring. Upon release of the brake
application, the actuator is forced up, allowing the seat
to seal off any further flow of moisture or air from the
tank and opening the exhaust port through the center of
the seat. This permits moisture to flow out.
