APT auxiliary friction brake - surface temperature (IM-DT-028)

Last updated on 06 December 2013 11:33

The specifications for the hydrokinetic brake (IMBA 2) requires that the APT auxiliary friction brake will be capable of producing retardations of 9% at speeds up to 15 km/h (4 m/s) reducing linearly with speed to zero at 60 km/h (16.7 m/s. An approximate solution for the temperature rise at...
