The Electronic Air Suspension (EAS) system is basically similar to that fitted to the previous model, but now has interconnected cross-link valves for all wheels. This has provided a stiffer spring rate on the road but a softer setting off-road. To give better roll control but good compliance, the cross-link valves are closed when the Range Rover is driven on the road. 1, record 6, English, - cross%2Dlinked%20electronic%20air%20suspension

In special cases [air suspension] sifters have also been used as dryers, where a heat source is connected to the air inlet; thus, drying of the furnish takes places simultaneously with the sifting. The furnish to be separated falls through a rotary valve and a central feed pipe into the suspension chamber. Rotating stirring arms above the screen floor distribute the material evenly over the area of the screen, through which the airstream enters the suspension chamber from below. With appropriate air velocities, any desired separation of the furnish can be obtained. 2, record 11, English, - air%20suspension%20sifting
