APT-P hydrokinetic brake system - theoretical and experimental methods for determining the performance of both the cooling system and the radiator (TM-PBS-002)

Last updated on 14 June 2013 2:24
One of the main benefits gained from using a Hydro-kinetic (HK) braking system on APT is that the braking energy is dissipated in a volume of fluid which can be cooled subsequently. This removes the risk of thermal damage to braking system components which could occur if largo values of...
