APPROACHES FOLLOWED

DEFINE PHASE
WHY?
A DROP IN TYRE PRESSURE MAY CAUSE REDUCTIONS IN :
1. TYRE LIFE
2. SAFETY
3. VEHICLE PERFORMANCE

HOW?
KEEPING IN MIND THE FOLLOWING ABOVE PROBLEMS WE ARE
DESIGNING A SELF INFLATION TYRE SYSTEM IN WHICH WE
WILL SUPPLY COMPRESSED AIR TO THE WHEELS DIRECTLY
USING THE PNEUMATICS CIRCUIT FROM A MAIN AIR TANK .

MEASURE PHASE

SO OUR BASIC DESIGN WILL HAVE:

1. AIR TANK
2. 2 BY 2 VALVE ( Unidirectional )
3. SINGLE ACTING CYLINDER
4. DETACHABLE ROTARY JOINT
CALCULATING VALVE SIZE :
VALVE FLOW =

>
>
>
>

Area x Stroke x A x Cf
Time x 29

TO ACCOUNT FOR VARIOUS PRESSURE LOSSES WE HAVE TO OVERSIZE THE VALVE BY 25%.
CF IS COMPRESSION FACTOR.
STROKE = CYLINDER TRAVEL.
A = PRESSURE DROP COSTANT

Pneumatic Cylinder Force :

Air supply line must supply another 5% of
pressure to make up for cylinder loss.
FOR A DIFFRENTIAL PRESSURE SUPPLY OF 60 PSI :
PISTON DIA. =5/16
HAVING RODLESS CYLINDER, DIA. = 0
AREA EFFECTED SQUARE INCHES = 0.077
EXTENSION FORCES ( pounds ) = 4.6

ANALYSIS PHASE
TEMPRATURE AND PRESSURE OF TIRES
PRESSURE

A tire pressure gauge used to measure the pressure of tires

on a vehicle.
It measures pressure in psi (Pounds per Square Inch)
Tire pressure may vary with the types of vehicles.
(Bicycle, Cars, Mini vans, Trucks, SUVs)

Vehicles

Tire pressure (When its cold)

Bicycle (Tubeless Mountain bike)

Inflation pressure ranges below 2 bar

(29 psi)

Bicycle (Tubular Track racing)

To15 bar (218 psi)

Cars, Mini vans ,Mini pickups

27-32 psi

Large vehicles (Trucks , SUVs)

45-60 psi

TEMPRATURE

When the tires roll along the road ,friction between them and

road

generates heat.

Tire pressure will increase when it heats up.

Every 100 Fahrenheit change in air temperature ,tire

pressure will adjust by 1 psi.

Ambient Temperature

APPROXIMATE COST ANALYSIS :

2 BY 2 ONE WAY VALVE = $17

CYCLE TYRE = $11
TANK(50psi) = $15
PROXIMITY SENSORS = $13
RODLESS CYLINDER = -------WHEEL VALVE = $2
ROTARY JOINT = $5
OTHER EXPENSES = $10

CONCLUSION :
According to the above analysis
part , we will design this tyre self
inflation model practicing it at
NTP(Normal temperature & pressure)
or at surrounding conditions, using a
cycle tyre to inflate it at 30 psi
( +5%psi ),using the above predicted
model or if there will be changes
made in the design phase of our
approach , we will cope up with that .
