Abstract: A block brake device of a bogie of a rail vehicle containing two wheel sets with two wheels respectively as well as two brake beams each assigned to a wheel axle and extending parallel to the latter, which brake beams carry brake blocks and are mutually connected by way of pressing rods which can be actuated by at least one pressure-medium operated cylinder piston drive for the braking engagement of the brake blocks with assigned braking areas of the wheels. At least a portion of a brake beam forms the cylinder of the cylinder piston drive.

Abstract: A pneumatic brake force producing device for a vehicle comprising: a heat storing container; at least one intake device in the container for taking in surrounding air, the intake device having a condenser for condensing humidity out of the surrounding air, the condenser including at least one pope feeding the intake air the brake force producing device, and at least portions of the at least one pipe ore arranged in a cooler zone of the container which is cooler in a regular driving operation of the vehicle than air-guiding parts of the brake force producing device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic brake force producing device comprising at least one suction device for the surrounding air. The aim of the invention is to prevent the condensation of air humidity in the brake force producing device. According to the invention, this can be achieved in an especially reliable manner by passing the aspirated air through a condenser before it enters the brake force producing device. The air-guiding parts in said condenser are at a lower temperature than the air-guiding parts of the brake force producing device in such a way that enough air humidity from the air condenses in the condenser to avoid further condensation in the brake force producing device.
