Level Control Systems
The pressure accumulator decreases the load on the compressor and significantly reduces
the time required for large changes in ride height.
The EHC 2 control module monitors system pressure via a pressure sensor mounted on
the accumulator. Normal system pressure is 15.7 +/- 0.7 bar. Minimum system pressure
is 9 bar.
The pressure accumulator's charge is sufficient to fill the four suspension struts once from
the Access position to the normal position and compensate for vehicle load up to maximum
gross weight.
Valve Unit
In the valve unit, four bellows valves and the pressure accumulator valve are activated.
The bellows valves and the pressure accumulator valve are solenoid valves which are
closed under spring pressure when de-energized.
