New design of the proportional valve
A new valve block, V97, is introduced in
production from 9908 on trucks and from 9910
on buses. The functions for the following are
incorporated into the valve block:
Proportional valve 19
Air supply for solenoid valve (ON/OFF) 20
Solenoid valve for oil accumulator 17
Note: The new valve block V97 requires a
higher control frequency, 360 Hz. This
frequency is available from control units
manufactured from 9902. Otherwise, the
system is not modified but works in the same
way irrespective of valve design.
Retarder
There is an oil pump 7 on shaft 3 which
receives oil from the sump 8, via the filter 9.
From there, the oil is directed via the control
valve 10, either to the rotor 2 for braking or to
the oil cooler 11 for cooling in disengaged
mode.
There are two annular chambers 12 between
the rotor 2 and the stators 1. When these are
filled with oil, the rotor and the stators force the
oil to change direction repeatedly. The flow of
oil thus provides resistance to the rotor and
counteracts its rotation.
The oil flows extremely quickly and in a
curved spiral path. Centrifugal force causes the
oil in the chambers to accumulat on the
periphery and attempt to escape. The oil is
therefore retained in the chambers by back
pressure from the outside. Higher pressure
gives more oil in the chambers and higher
brake torque.
The chambers are connected to the sump via air
ducts 13. These are necessary to enable the
quantity of oil to be adjusted quickly when the
driver wants to adjust the brake torque.
The oil pump 7 rotates as soon as the vehicle is
in motion. When braking, the oil is directed via
the control valve to the rotor and the oil cooler.
When the retarder is disengaged, most of the
oil is directed via the control valve to the oil
cooler and the sump. A small proportion is
directed via the coolant oilway 14 for
lubrication and cooling.
Safety valve 22 is fitted with an additional
sealing ring from chassis number SS1251239,
SN4414949, SA9043610, SBK1835768.
The retarder and gearbox oil systems are
separated by two radial seals 15.

Oil accumulator
The accumulator 16 is emptied and quickly fills
the retarder when braking begins. This is
activated with compressed air from a solenoid
valve 17. There is a non-return restriction valve
18 in the accumulator outlet.
The left-hand position is the non-return valve
position. The oil then passes both through the
restriction and on the outside of the bushing.
The non-return valve position is used both
when emptying and refilling when the driver
ceases braking.
The right-hand position is the restriction valve
position. The oil then passes only through the
restriction. The restriction valve position is
used when refilling the accumulator during
braking.
Oil cooler
The oil cooler 11 transmits the heat from the
retarder oil to the engine cooling system where
the heat is finally dissipated by the vehicle's
ordinary radiator.
Proportional valve
The supply air solenoid valve 20 and the
proportional valve 19 are both actuated by the
control unit. Unreduced air pressure is fed from
solenoid valve 20 to the proportional valve 19.
The control unit supplies a current, whose
strength corresponds to the required brake
torque, to the proportional valve. This then
delivers air pressure to control valve 10 which
creates the oil pressure necessary to achieve the
required brake torque.
