Evaluation of the effectiveness of the cooling system of ventilated disc brakes
The main problem for most of the designed disc-pad brakes is the imposition of restrictions on the speed and load modes of their application. The main heating criteria is the temperature on the surfaces of the assembly and the volumetric temperature of the brake mechanism. One of the most important problems that must be addressed in the design process is the heat removal from various surfaces of the brake mechanism. Due to phenomena such as radiation and conduction, up to 30% of the total amount of thermal energy that is accumulated during braking is scattered into the environment. The remaining accumulated heat is due to convective heat transfer. Based on this fact, we can formulate the goal of research as an assessment of the structural and thermophysical factors of the ventilation apparatus of the brake disc and the effect on the cooling of the brake mechanism.
