Central Tire Inflation System in Different Vehicle Types
Commercial Vehicles:
It provides 10%-40% fuel savings in commercial vehicles and offers safe driving. It increases tire life and prevents sudden breakdowns.
It also has advantages such as financial gain, time saving and comfort. The structure of the Central Tire Inflation System includes a rim valve on each rim. On twin axles, the valve is usually located only on the outer rim, so that the pressure of both tires can be balanced.
Agricultural Vehicles:
In agricultural vehicles, inefficient area may occur depending on the thickness of the tractor wheel, so the pressure is adjusted according to the terrain and the inefficient area is minimized. The necessary hardness is maintained for the seed to germinate in the soil. Since wrong pressure will increase fuel consumption, fuel savings are achieved by providing the correct pressure. It also extends tire life, ensures safe driving and saves time.
Military Vehicles:
Sudden breakdowns are prevented in military vehicles. The pressures applied to the terrain type are memorized and the same pressure is applied on the same terrain. This provides an increase in tire life and provides safe driving opportunity by increasing road grip. The soldier can control the vehicle without getting out of the vehicle.
