CAirS with integrated fast down leveling valves
An air suspension system includes an air supply system block including one or more air spring valves, where the one or more air spring valves are disposed within the air supply system block, the air supply system block having a valve block housing. The system further includes the air supply system block pneumatically coupled with one or more air springs, and at least one reservoir coupled with the air supply system block, at least one motor and pump disposed within the air supply system block. The air suspension further includes fast down leveling valves disposed within the air supply system block.
1. An air suspension system comprising:
a first plurality of air spring valves within an air supply system block, wherein the air supply system block has a valve block housing;
at least one motor;
at least one pump coupled with the at least one motor, wherein the first plurality of air spring valves, the at least one motor, and the at least one pump coupled with the at least one motor are disposed within the air supply system block;
wherein the air supply system block is pneumatically coupled with a plurality of air springs;
a first reservoir connected to the plurality of air springs via the air supply system block;
a second plurality of valves that are reversing valves between the first plurality of air spring valves and the at least one motor coupled to the at least one pump;
a third plurality of valves that are fast down leveling valves disposed within the air supply system block; and
a secondary reservoir connect to at least a portion of the plurality of air springs via the third plurality of fast down leveling valves.
2. The air suspension system as recited in claim 1 , further comprising air lines extending from the air supply system block to the first reservoir and all of the air springs.
3. The air suspension system as recited in claim 2 , further comprising a second air line pneumatically coupled between the air supply system block and the secondary reservoir.
4. The air suspension system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the air suspension system is a closed air system.
5. The air suspension system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the air suspension system is an open air system.
6. The air suspension system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the fast down leveling valves are entirely disposed within the air supply system block.
7. The air suspension system as recited in claim 1 , further comprising at least one ambiance valve disposed within the air supply system block.
8. The air suspension system as recited in claim 7 , wherein the at least one ambiance valve exhausts to outside of the air supply system block.
