System components<br />
Solenoid valve block<br />
<strong>The</strong> solenoid valve block contains the pressure<br />
sender and the valves for actuating the<br />
pneumatic springs and the accumulator. It is<br />
installed in the wheel housing between the<br />
wheel housing liner and the left-hand<br />
A-pillar.<br />
Pressure connection<br />
for compressor<br />
Accumulator<br />
Front left<br />
Front right Rear left<br />
<strong>The</strong> accumulator is situated between the<br />
floor of the boot and the rear silencer on the<br />
left-hand side of the vehicle.<br />
Construction:<br />
<strong>The</strong> accumulator is made of aluminium.<br />
It has a volume of 5.8l and a max. operating<br />
pressure of 16 bar.<br />
Function:<br />
<strong>The</strong> objective in designing this system was to<br />
reliably satisfy functional requirements<br />
whilst keeping energy consumption to a minimum<br />
(so that the compressor is on as little<br />
as possible). <strong>In</strong> order to enable controlled<br />
pressure build-up to be effected solely with<br />
the accumulator, there must be a minimum<br />
difference in pressure of 3 bar between the<br />
accumulator and the pneumatic springs.<br />
Solenoid valves<br />
Construction/function:<br />
<strong>The</strong> construction and function of the solenoid<br />
valves are largely the same as in the allroad<br />
quattro (see SSP 243).<br />
