DBK Fan cooled brake/ air disc brake

DBK Fan cooled brake/ air disc brake

The primary function of brakes is the conversion of mechanical energy into heat which is then dissipated into the atmosphere.

The amounts of heat which can be dissipated by air cooled disc brakes are dependent on a high rotational speed, large disc diameter, and large radiant surface. With the addition of an electric fan fitted to the centre of the housing, the best possible thermal power dissipation as achieved without high dependency on speed, and avoiding the need to increase the disc diameter in continuous slipping applications suitable for high heat dissipation.
