Abstract:
1. An airbrake reservoir lock system for an airbrake system of a vehicle, the vehicle having an electronic control module, the airbrake reservoir lock system comprising: a primary air reservoir having an input port and an output port, the primary air reservoir provided for storing pressurized air; a first airbrake reservoir lock disposed in fluid communication with the output port of the primary air reservoir, the first airbrake reservoir lock having a valve portion and an electrical actuator, the electrical actuator being disposed in electrical communication with the electronic control module, the valve portion having an open position and a closed position, wherein the electrical actuator moves the valve portion of the first airbrake reservoir lock between the open position and a closed position in response to an output signal from the electronic control module; and a second airbrake reservoir lock disposed in fluid communication with the input port of the primary air reservoir, the second airbrake reservoir lock having a second valve portion and a second electrical actuator, the second electrical actuator being disposed in electrical communication with the electronic control module, the second valve portion having an open position and a closed position, wherein the second electrical actuator moves the second valve portion of the second airbrake reservoir lock between the open position and a closed position in response to an output signal from the electronic control module.
