Analisys of the Efficiency of a Conventional Ventilated Brake Disc Compared to a Hyperventilated Disc by Machining [Análisis de la eficiencia de un disco de freno convencional ventilado con respecto a un disco hiperventilado mediante mecanizado]

The objective of this study is to redesign a ventilated brake disc as a hyperventilated disc to compare the differences in temperature and brake distances; for this purpose, a monitoring system was installed in the vehicle which consisted of the implementation of two temperature sensors located near each disk and a data acquisition card. With the implementation of hyperventilated discs, the temperature generated by the braking friction could be reduced. The temperature values that occur between the discs when braking was monitored. To obtain the temperature values of the brake discs, road tests were conducted with different types of discs: ventilated discs on the two front wheels, hyperventilated discs on the two front wheels and mixed discs. In the mixed discs there is a ventilated disc on the right front wheel and a hyperventilated disc on the left front wheel. © 2021, Universidad Politecnica Salesiana. All rights reserved.
