Functions

new(jbeamData) (factory)

  • Description: Creates a new pressure tank.

  • Returns: storage

Methods (on object)

  • updateTankSync(dt): Handles pneumatic PTO synchronization across couplers between vehicles (e.g., truck and trailer).
  • setRemainingMass(mass): Updates pressure based on molar quantity and temperature.

Key Variables (on object)

  • currentPressure: Absolute pressure in Pascal (Pa).
  • isPrimarySupply: True if this tank is the source (e.g., connected to a compressor).

Related

  • electrics: Stores sync variables for PTO (pneumaticPTOPressure, etc.).
  • beamstate: Handles the physical coupling required for PTO sync.
