Analysis of Matching Application of Hydraulic Retarder for Medium Duty Truck
With the development of the transportation industry and the progress of the automobile industry,domestic mainstream OEMs have begun to match high-power engines on medium-sized trucks,and the applicable working conditions of medium-sized trucks have gradually penetrated from urban and rural less than carload transportation to long-distance transportation.With the improvement of vehicle transportation distance,the road conditions are more complex,especially in the long downhill section,which greatly tests the braking performance of the vehicle itself.As an auxiliary braking system,hydraulic retarder has attracted more and more users'attention and acceptance due to its safety and efficiency,and has been matched and applied by more and more OEMs on medium trucks.In this paper,taking a medium-sized truck matching hydraulic retarder as an example,theoretical analysis and calculation are carried out on the retarder selection,layout and cooling water path layout.
