Abstract
An electro-pneumatic brake system with a pressure control valve switched ahead of the brake cylinders is proposed, which connects the brake cylinders either with outside air or with a storage tank. The pressure control valve is directly operable by an electro-magnet or, in the case of its loss, by an operating piston and is formed as a double-seat valve with large flow-through diameters. It can be combined with stop valves in order to make possible a multichannel pressure control. The compressed brake system is intended for use in motor vehicles, especially in utility vehicles.
