Abstract: A system for inflating vehicle tires including: (1) a valve positionable between an opened and a closed position; (2) a pneumatic pathway having a pressure value and in fluid communication with an outlet of the valve and an input of a pressure switch; (3) a vehicle tire in fluid communication with the pneumatic pathway; and (4) the pressure switch configured to actuate the valve to the opened position when the pressure value of the pneumatic pathway drops below a threshold value; and wherein an inlet of the valve is configured to be in fluid communication with an air tank having a pressure value.

Abstract: A central tire inflation system configured to maintain an air pressure on a first and second tire mounted to a wheel of a vehicle including a wheel assembly configured to be operably coupled to the wheel and including (1) a housing in fluid communication with an external air supply, (2) two check valves carried by the housing and in fluid communication with the air supply, (3) two tire air connectors carried by the housing and in fluid communication with the two check valves, respectively, and configured to be operably coupled to the two tires, respectively. The first tire, second tire, and air supply in fluid communication when both the first check valve and the second check valve are in an open position but not in fluid communication when either the first check valve or the second check valve is in a closed position.

Abstract: A central tire inflation system configured to monitor and maintain an air pressure on the tires of a vehicle includes a housing, a central processing unit, a controller, and a valve. The housing has a plurality of walls and a bottom forming an interior volume. The central processing unit has the necessary electronics to receive, store, transmit and manipulate data. The controller has a plurality of modes of operation wherein the modes of operation include default parameters for air pressure within the tires of the vehicle. The valve is configured to direct air flow as required into or out of the tires, the valve being operably coupled to the controller. The central tire inflation system is configured to monitor air pressure of the tires and provide inflation or deflation thereof based the mode of operation.
