TESTING BRAKE FLUID WEAR PROCESSES IN COMPLEX CONSTRAINED CONDITIONS

摘要

The study determined the effect of increased water content in a brake fluid by measuring its hydration and boiling temperature and examining the impact of brake fluid wear on the safety and reliability of a braking system. Within the scope of work, the temperature of the brake discs was determined according to the braking distance. An experimental bench was set up to determine the boiling point of the hydrated brake fluid. The position is designed to reflect the operating conditions of intense braking and lead to the boiling of the brake fluid. A summary of all laboratory and operating tests of the brake fluid tested allowed the minimum braking distance to be determined after which the brake fluid of varying degrees of hydration (over various operating periods) could boil beyond the permitted boiling point.
