What is the correct usage of the exhaust brake?
1 Answers
Exhaust brake correct usage method: When the accelerator pedal is at zero position, the fuel injector stops injecting fuel. If the accelerator pedal or clutch pedal is pressed, the exhaust brake will automatically turn off, which can prevent the engine from stalling when stopping and the exhaust brake from activating during fuel injection. The following is a detailed introduction to the exhaust brake: 1. The exhaust brake is a type of auxiliary braking device, widely used in large diesel vehicles. 2. Its function is to reduce or maintain the vehicle's speed without using or minimizing the use of the service brake, but it cannot bring the vehicle to an emergency stop. 3. The exhaust brake is generally activated by a manual switch. To prevent the engine from stalling when stopping and the exhaust brake from activating during fuel injection, pressing the accelerator pedal or clutch pedal will automatically deactivate the exhaust brake. 4. Since it requires cutting off the fuel supply during operation, the exhaust brake cannot be used in gasoline vehicles. 5. Correct use of the exhaust brake can reduce the use of the service brake, thereby reducing brake pad wear and lowering the risk of driving safety caused by continuous brake overheating.
