Abstract: An electropneumatic valve unit (100, 200) for a vehicle brake system has a plurality of valve sections (102; 104; 106; 108; 204; 206) integrated into a single valve housing (101). The plurality of valve sections (102; 104; 106; 108; 204; 206) includes a front axle redundancy section (102) configured to provide a redundant supply or control pressure for controlling brakes associated with a front axle of a vehicle or a tractor, and a trailer control section (104; 204) for providing supply and/or control pressure to a trailer connected to the tractor. The redundant supply or control pressure for controlling brakes associated with the front axle of the vehicle at the front axle redundancy section (102) is derived from an output pressure of the trailer control section (104; 204).

Abstract: A silencer fitting element for a silencer of a pneumatic component or a pneumatic system for a vehicle is provided. The silencer fitting element includes including a baffle plate, a gas guiding structure extending from the baffle plate and is configured to guide gas exiting several gas passages provided in the baffle plate, and further includes a thread for mounting the silencer fitting element. The gas guiding structure is configured to guide the gas over a guiding distance from the second baffle plate surface. The guiding distance is different for at least one first gas passage of the several gas passages and at least one second gas passage of the several gas passages.

Abstract: An electropneumatic trailer control module (100; 300; 500) with a housing structure (100a; 300a; 500a) includes a manual brake pressure port (154) receiving a driver's brake demand pressure component, a spring-supported electropneumatic input valve (104) with at least two ports and being capable of switching between two positions (open or closed), an electropneumatic brake pressure port (144; 146) for receiving an electropneumatic brake pressure component from at least one independent pressure source (138; 140), and a relay valve (112) including a control port (110), a supply port (114), an outlet port (116), and a relief port (118). The spring-supported electropneumatic input valve (104) is retained in an open position when there is no electronic activation of the spring-supported electropneumatic input valve (104). A tractor protection module (124; 324; 524) is provided within the housing structure (100a; 300a; 500a) of the electropneumatic trailer control module (100; 300; 500).
