Air Suspension
As a starting point, it is important to discuss what is air
suspension and how does it differ from traditional suspension
systems? The main difference between a traditional shock or strut
is that they have a dampening mechanism set to a certain ride
control feel while an air suspension system uses an air compressor
in combination with air struts and suspension air bags to control
the feel of the ride.
HONGGU Air suspension has several advantages over traditional
shocks and struts. The first is that the ride quality is often
controlled by the driver of the vehicle. Therefore, if you want a
softer ride you can set your air suspension system to deliver that
and vice versa if you are looking for a stiffer, rougher ride. The
second advantage is that you can control ride height, some systems
are advanced in that they automatically control this for you. The
final advantage of an air suspension system is weight management.
If you load the back of your SUV with a large amount of groceries
from the store, the air suspension system either automotically
adjusts to handle it or you can manually adjust it. For traditional
shocks and struts the level of rebound is set and therefore no
matter what the weight of your load is, you have to stick with it.
This often creates a sagging rear end when carrying a heavy load.

Air compressor
Air compressors for cars connect to a power source (usually your
car's 12-volt DC outlet) and force pressurized air into the tire
via the valve. Simple to use and relatively compact, these devices
are essential in any season — especially if you want to get
triple-A off your speed dial.
Air compressor System
The compressor is only one part of a complete air system, The
receiver tank is a vital component that prevents unnecessary wear
on the compressor from too-frequent cycling. The tank also
eliminates pulsing of the air flow.
Air compressors have many uses
including: supplying high-pressure clean air to fill gas cylinders,
supplying moderate-pressure clean air to a submerged surface
supplied diver, supplying moderate-pressure clean air for driving
some office and school building pneumatic HVAC control system
valves, supplying a large amount of moderate-pressure air to power
pneumatic tools, such as jackhammers, filling high pressure air
tanks (HPA), for filling tires, and to produce large volumes of
moderate-pressure air for large-scale industrial processes (such as
oxidation for petroleum coking or cement plant bag house purge
systems).
Air compressors are also widely used in oil and gas, mining and
drilling applications as the flushing medium, aerating muds in
underbalanced drilling and in air pigging of pipelines.
Most air compressors either are reciprocating piston type, rotary
vane or rotary screw. Centrifugal compressors are common in very
large applications, while rotary screw, scroll,and reciprocating
air compressors are favored for small and medium sized
applications.
The Benefits of Air Suspension Systems1. Comfort
One of the main benefits of air suspension cars is the improved
comfort behind the wheel, making it good for daily driving. The
adjustable air suspension makes for a more comfortable ride on poor
quality roads and can improve control when off-roading. The use of
airbags above your wheels, rather than springs, also improves the
quality of the journey for passengers.
2.Reduced noise and vibration
Another advantage of air suspension is less wear and tear on the
suspension system and vehicle components, due to reduced harshness
and vibration, particularly with heavy-duty driving. Air suspension
compensates for potholes, uneven surfaces and speed bumps in the
road allowing your vehicle to glide easily over the road surface.
3.Versatility on the road
An air spring system allows the driver to adjust the car to suit
their personal preferences for ride comfort and handling. When the
driver can choose between a harder drive for motorway driving or a
softer feel for demanding roads, the driver maintains control no
matter the terrain. Higher cornering speeds and greater levels of
control when turning corners can be achieved with air suspension,
as the vehicle is better suited to the conditions of the road. An
adjustable suspension that can lower the vehicle to the ground
means the drag can potentially reduce at higher speeds.
Additionally, the ability to raise the car for everyday use is
extremely handy for off-road driving.
4.Versatility on load
Another advantage of air suspension is its versatility on load. The
height of the car can be adjusted according to the load, the
‘kneel’ or ‘raise’ functions making loading easier from the outset.
The purpose of air suspension is to give consistency across all
wheels, and there is a lower risk of body roll when turning
corners, less risk of breakages and less load shifting and damage
caused due to reduced vibrations through the suspension. Plus,
better control due to increased firmness provides improved towing
capabilities for larger vehicles.
5.Fuel economy
As vehicles with air suspension can be adjusted to road type, they
benefit from better fuel economy. For example, a lower ride height
for motorway driving means better aerodynamics and reduced wind
resistance. Conversely, a suspension that is better suited to a
particular road surface with better control can achieve higher
corner speeds and lead to time-saving on routes with many turns.
