Record 4 1997-01-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Trucking (Road Transport)
  • Braking Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
DEF

Line connecting a control device, such as a brake valve, to another control device, such as a relay valve, in order to transfer control energy to the latter.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Camionnage
  • Freins (Véhicules automobiles et bicyclettes)
DEF

Record 5 1997-01-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Trucking (Road Transport)
  • Braking Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
DEF

Supplemental brake with a butterfly valve or sliding gate in the exhaust system which restricts exhaust gas flow to decrease piston speed, thus using the engine as a braking device.

OBS

When exhaust flow is restricted, the engine acts as a compressor. As back pressure increases, RPM decreases; vehicle speed also decreases because the engine is coupled to the drive wheels through the transmission.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Camionnage
  • Freins (Véhicules automobiles et bicyclettes)
DEF

Frein complémentaire comportant un appareil à volet ou à boisseau monté sur le circuit d'échappement, dont le but est de limiter le débit des gaz vers le silencieux pour freiner le déplacement des pistons et assurer ainsi la fonction de retenue du moteur.

OBS

Lorsqu'on obture l'échappement, le moteur se comporte comme un compresseur puisqu'il travaille en contre-pression; restant accouplé aux roues motrices par la transmission, il ralentit donc le véhicule.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Transporte por camión
  • Frenos (Vehículos automotores y bicicletas)
DEF

Freno auxiliar compuesto de un obturador o una válvula tubular de compuerta del circuito de escape que sirve para limitar la salida del gas hacia el silenciador, lo que frena el desplazamiento de los pistones y asegura la función de retención del motor.

OBS

Al cerrarse el escape, el motor actúa como un compresor que trabaja a contra presión y, puesto que sigue acoplado a las ruedas motrices por intermedio de la transmisión, disminuye la velocidad.

Record 6 1996-12-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Braking Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
DEF

To store energy in a braking circuit or an air brake reservoir.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Freins (Véhicules automobiles et bicyclettes)
DEF

Emmagasiner de l'énergie dans un circuit de freinage ou un réservoir d'air comprimé.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Frenos (Vehículos automotores y bicicletas)
DEF

Almacenar energía en un circuito de freno o depósito de aire comprimido.
