Brake Fluid in ABS Evaluator, Rig Design

Abstract

This task developed a method to determine the compatibility of brake fluid in an anti-lock braking system under different environments. A laboratory based test rig was designed and built to mimic an anti-lock braking system environment and to provide a close approximation to field testing. The test rig was tested and proved to have the ability to simulate an anti-lock braking event at 200 deg C and ambient (25 deg C) temperatures. The test rig was not able to produce the braking event at -55 deg C, but was functional at -40 deg C.
