Systems and methods for reducing temperature of a braking assembly
Abstract:
A system for reducing a temperature of a braking assembly includes the braking assembly of a wheel assembly, an airflow amplifier, and a conduit. The braking assembly may include a plurality of friction disks. The airflow amplifier may be coupled to the wheel assembly, and the conduit may extend from a compressed gas source to the airflow amplifier. Generally, the airflow amplifier is configured to entrain ambient air (“entrained air”) in response to compressed gas from the compressed gas source flowing to the airflow amplifier via the conduit, according to various embodiments. The airflow amplifier may be configured to direct the entrained air and the compressed gas to the braking assembly to reduce the temperature of the braking assembly.
