Abstract
A tire pressure control system (100) for a self-inflating tire includes a left coupling conduit (128) in fluid communication with a left tube end (104) of a peristaltic pump tube (102), a right coupling conduit (129) in fluid communication with a right tube end (105), a bypass conduit (130) extending between and coupling the left coupling conduit (128) and the right coupling conduit (129), and a bypass valve (150) configured to block the bypass conduit (130) when the tire pressure is less than a predetermined target pressure. When the bypass valve (150) substantially blocks the bypass conduit (130), then pressurized air generated in the peristaltic pump tube (102) is forced into the self-inflating tire. When the bypass valve (150) does not block the bypass conduit (130), then air is allowed to circulate within the peristaltic pump tube (102).
