Enhanced Temperature Control in Disc Brakes

P. Sylvester Selvanathan and R. Govindaraj


Abstract:

In enhanced temperature control in disc brakes, the problems regarding the heat generation in the disc brakes have been taken into account and their solutions are provided. The notification of the temperature raise of the disc brakes is made available to the driver when the temperature reaches above the safe value. In addition, the problem of heat generation is minimized by using the forced convection technique. It is concluded that the heat generated due to friction between the disc and the pad should be minimized to avoid the loss of friction coefficient between the disc and the pad and to avoid the temperature rise of various brake components and brake fluid vaporization due to excessive heating.

Keywords: Disc Brakes, Temperature Problem, Convection Principle.
