ELX-S Valve
Developed for freight cars that transport bulk commodities
The ELX-S Empty/Load Valve is a canister type sensor that attaches to the slope sheet. It uses a valve with a rubber diaphragm designed to contact the product inside the car when it is loaded to give full brake cylinder pressure. When the car is empty, the sensor rubber is unrestricted which causes the valve to divert some of the air pressure directed to the brake cylinder into a dummy volume.
