measures the vehicle's lateral acceleration. The Controller Area Network (CAN) bus provides <br />information on the steering angle. On the basis of lateral acceleration and steering angle, an integrated <br />microcontroller calculates a theoretical angular speed for the stable vehicle condition. <br />FRONT BRAKES <br />The front brakes shall be Meritor EX225 Disc Plus disc brakes with 17.00 inch vented rotors. <br />REAR BRAKES <br />The rear brakes shall be Meritor EX225 Disc Plus disc brakes with 17.00 inch vented rotors. <br />PARK BRAKE <br />Upon application of the push-pull valve in the cab, the rear brakes will engage via mechanical spring <br />force. This is accomplished by dual chamber rear brakes, satisfying the FMVSS parking brake <br />requirements. <br />PARK BRAKE CONTROL <br />A Meritor-Wabco manual hand control push-pull style valve shall operate the parking brake system. <br />The control shall be yellow in color. <br />The parking brake actuation valve shall be mounted 6.00 inches to the left of center of the dash within <br />easy access of the driver. <br />AIR DRYER <br />The brake system shall include a Wabco System Saver 1200 air dryer with an integral heater with a <br />Metri-Pack sealed connector. The air dryer incorporates an internal turbo cutoff valve that closes the <br />path between the air compressor and air dryer purge valve during the compressor "unload" cycle. The <br />turbo cutoff valve allows purging of moisture and contaminants without the loss of turbo boost pressure. <br />The air dryer shall be mounted behind the battery box on the left hand side. <br />FRONT BRAKE CHAMBERS <br />The front brakes shall be provided with type 24 brake chambers as supplied with the Hendrickson <br />STEERTEK NXT axle. <br />REAR BRAKE CHAMBERS <br />The rear axle shall include MGM 24/24 brake chambers shall convert the energy of compressed air into <br />mechanical force and motion. This shall actuate the brake camshaft, which in turn shall operate the <br />foundational brake mechanism forcing the brake pads against the brake rotor. <br />AIR COMPRESSOR <br />The air compressor provided for the engine shall be a naturally aspirated Wabco® SS440 single cylinder <br />pass -through drive type compressor which shall be capable of producing 26.0 CFM at 1200 engine <br />RPMs. The compressor shall include an aluminum cylinder head which shall improve cooling, reduce <br />weight and decrease carbon formation. <br />AIR GOVERNOR <br />An air governor shall be provided to control the cut -in and cut-out pressures of the engine mounted air <br />compressor. The governor shall be calibrated to meet FMVSS requirements. The air governor shall be <br />located on the air dryer bracket. <br />MOISTURE EJECTORS <br />
