A more detailed look at the air braking system, in particular with this video at the air brake relay.
Relays are fitted to an air braking system for larger vehicles to speed up the application and release of the brakes, minimising brake lag, which is the time it takes between the driver operating the controls (park brake/foot brake valve) and the action actually happening at the brakes.
For a bit more background before watching this video, take a look at our "introduction to air brakes" • Air Brakes - An Introd...

Its this simple relay component that i over looked. The relay is an important components :)

    • Air is a gas and gases can be compressed but liquids can't. Get a syringe and pull back the plunger then block the open end before pushing down on the plunger. The plunger will feel like it is pushing against a spring. Repeat the process after filling the syringe with water. The plunger will feel like it is pushing on something solid.

    • Some relay exhaust valves have different designs, and some may make a sound like hissing or lots of air rushing through an opening. Some make a sound not unlike a musical note, although that is not the intention of the manufacturer. Just like different tires would make different sounds on the driving surfaces, release valves make different noises as the air exhausts out through the ports. Some sound like a sneeze, some sound a bit like a musical instrument.
