Lapping/es: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:41, 9 March 2025

Dependiendo del vehículo motorizado, hay dos formas de controlar la presión de la tubería del freno: con control gradual y la más antigua, mediante aplicación y afloje manual.

Self-Lapping

En los sistemas con control gradual, la presión de la tubería del freno se maneja automáticamente. El maquinista puede colocar la palanca del freno automático en cualquier posición dentro de un rango. Cuanto más se ajuste en la dirección de "aplicación", mayor será la fuerza de frenado y viceversa. La válvula maneja automáticamente el vaciado o la presurización de la tubería del freno dependiendo de la posición de la palanca.

Non-Self-Lapping

Non-self-lapping control valves are older. With them, the control lever manipulates the brake pipe pressure directly, and the process is more hands-on. The lever has a few fixed positions. Two of the positions, called “release” and “service” can be thought of as adding and releasing the brake pipe pressure, respectively. The position in-between them, called “lap”, is used to maintain whatever pressure is in the brake pipe. The furthest position, called “emergency”, releases pressure at the fastest possible rate.

By control the brake pipe pressure, you indirectly set the cylinder pressure to the required amount.

Auxiliary reservoirs are partially drained whenever brakes are applied. When brakes are then released, it takes some time for the reservoirs to be recharged. The lap position, however, functions only if the auxiliary reservoirs are full. So, to stay in full control over the brakes it is recommended to not release non-self-lapping brakes when knowing that moments later braking may be needed again. Calculated, infrequent moves are preferable when operating non-self-lapping brakes.

Monitoring

With both control valve types it is crucial to monitor the brake pipe and cylinder gauges to fully understand the current brake state.

Conflicts

In case a train contains multiple motorized vehicles their control valves will conflict each other. The conflicts will be even more severe if there are mixed self-lapping and non-self-lapping types. To ensure safe operation it is necessary to cutout all excess control valves, other than the one intended to be used.

-Ambos sistemas son bastante simples de usar, aunque el gradual puede ser más intuitivo para los principiantes. En términos simples, con control gradual, el dispositivo de control establece la fuerza de frenado deseada, dejando que la válvula automática haga el trabajo, mientras que en el manual, el dispositivo de control establece directamente la fuerza de frenado.

-In case a train contains motorized vehicles with both self-lapping and non-self-lapping brake valve types, only the self-lapping ones will be functional when operating the brake. For that purpose, vehicles are also equipped with brake cutout valves, which can be used to isolate certain vehicles from the brake system and resolve this conflict.
