Why is the spring brake chamber not a primary element?
The spring brake chamber is designed as a parking brake only. The service brake chamber is air operated which can be controlled more efficiently as needed.
How can a springbrake on a tractor trailer kill you?
It's actually the brake chamber which can do this... if you're not ASE certified to work on air brake systems, you shouldn't worry yourself about this too much, because you have no reason to be working on the brake system - least of all, the brake chamber. When a brake chamber pot is removed, it must first be caged, meaning the spring inside the brake chamber is fully compressed. Before that brake chamber pot is disposed of, they must first be uncaged - if someone (such as a scrap metal recycler) takes that brake chamber pot apart while the spring is still caged, it could be a potentially lethal mistake.
What is the difference between spring brake and service brake chambers?
On a T30 brake can, there are two chambers - the service chamber, and the emergency chamber. In the brake chamber, there is a spring.. when decompressed, it rotates the S-cam to lock the brakes. This is your parking brake. When you release the brakes, the emergency chamber remains constantly supplied with air to compress this spring, effectively releasing your brakes. The service chamber counteracts this, allowing you to utilize your brakes, but only when air is supplied to it when you push on the treadle valve.
Is the spring brake chamber a primary element?

Why wont my brake chamber work on my trailer when I apply brakes?
First, what makes you sure it's the brake chamber? If your brakes are releasing when you push in the emergency air, but applying the foot brakes (which use the service line) has no effect, then the boot (gasket) within the brake chamber is probably worn, if it is a brake chamber issue. If you have a codriver (or just someone who can push on a brake), you should follow your service (blue) line under your trailer until you find a connector which you can uncouple. Once that's done, have them hit the brake pedal and see if air is even getting through the service line before you start messing with the brake chamber.
When you release brakes you hear air?
If you're referring to an air brake system, you have a leak in a brake chamber... one of your emergency chambers has gone bad (if you hear it only when you depress the brake pedal, then it's a service chamber).
