APT-P hydrokinetic brake system - Theoretical and experimental methods for determining the performance of both the cooling system and the radiator (TM-PBS-2)

Last updated on 02 April 2014 1:33
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 large values of...
