<p>A pneumatic to hydraulic booster having an integral skid control means is disclosed. The skid control means includes a dump chamber and a dump valve, with the dump chamber being integrally formed within the housing of the pneumatic to hydraulic booster. A choke is also mounted between the dump chamber and atmosphere to provide a two-stage controlled dump rate. In operation, a large portion of the pneumatic pressure in the booster is quickly transferred to the dump chamber when a skid is detected. The atmospheric choke allows a further transfer of pressure from the booster at a second, but controlled rate.</p> |
