00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,500
The typical compressed air system utilizes a WABCO 3CDCLAT air-cooled compressor to provide the main source of compressed air for the locomotive.

2
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:16,792
The compressed air system has four basic functions: compression, storage, filtration, and distribution.

3
00:00:16,792 --> 00:00:23,333
During compression, the outside air passes through two paper air filters and enters the air compressor.

4
00:00:23,333 --> 00:00:31,625
The air compressor is an AC motor-driven, two-stage air compressor that provides regulated compressed air to the first main reservoir.

5
00:00:31,625 --> 00:00:38,333
The locomotive's control system regulates the compressed air from the air compressor by controlling the following:

6
00:00:38,333 --> 00:00:41,542
When the air compressor motor turns on and off,

7
00:00:41,542 --> 00:00:44,083
The motor’s speed when operating, and

8
00:00:44,083 --> 00:00:51,042
When the compressor loads (compresses air) or unloads (stops compressing air).
