HYDRODYNAMIC BRAKES ON DIESEL-HYDRAULICS

The hydrodynamic brake, which has been applied to diesel electric locomotives, also has been applied to small rail car transmission and gas turbine trains in Europe. The cooling equipment of diesel power plants is not present in gas turbine but with the use of oil air cooling equipment modified for the hydrodynamic brake, the braking power is equivalent to that developed by the turbine.
