   Oct 2, 2023 · Air can be considered to be a fluid in a thermal model of a brake system when it is moving and is contact with the heated surfaces of the disc or drum. In the case of a solid disc the air moving over the surface of the disc is very random and turbulent, but still functions to provide some cooling.

   What is a spring break on an air brake system?

   • All that spring breaks are is another power source on an air brake system. On an air brake system we have service brakes, which is the foot pedal, and it applies the brakes on the vehicle using air pressure.

   Can a braking system fail?

   • All systems are divided into two independent subsystems, so it's unlikely that braking systems, regardless whether it's a hydraulic braking system or an air brake system, are going to fail. So, service brakes is the foot pedal. The next brake that you have on your vehicle is the parking brake.

   What happens if you lose service brakes on an air brake equipped vehicle?

   • Now, what happens is, you're going up and down the road, and lose the service brakes, on an air brake equipped vehicle: The air drains down, the air drains down, because what happens is, when you push the buttons in on the dash to release the parking brakes, air pressure compresses those large powerful springs.

   What happens if air brake pressure is too low?

   • When the air brake system pressure falls below its normal operating range (normally 414 kPa or 60 psi), the spring brakes will begin to apply automatically. If brakes are out of adjustment, the spring brakes may not stop or hold a vehicle.

   Can you drive a car without spring brakes?

   • Many vehicles can still be driven even with the spring brakes applied because they do not have the braking power of the full service brake application. Before driving the vehicle, it is important to ensure that the air brake system has enough air pressure (normally 414 kPa (60 psi)) to keep the spring brakes from applying.
