September 18, 2024
The invention relates to an air-actuated vehicle system, comprising an actuating device which houses a pressurizable chamber, a pressurized air source, a conduit extending between the pressurized air source and the actuating device, for enabling the pressurizable chamber of the actuating device to be pressurized with air from the pressurized air source, and a pressure sensing arrangement measuring a first pressure inside the pressurized air source and a second pressure inside the pressurizable chamber, wherein the pressure sensing arrangement is configured to determine that the system has an air leakage when the result of the measurement(s) of said second pressure deviates from an expected result, wherein the expected result is based on the result of the measurement(s) of said first pressure. The invention also relates to a method of leakage detection.
