| Résumé | This paper presents results from controlled laboratory testing of the operational performance of 23 service worn and 21 refurbished freight car brake systems at temperatures ranging from +10°C to -40°C. The 44 systems were tested using service brake applications, and emergency brake applications from brake pipe pressures of 75 psi and 90 psi. Forces after 10 minutes are compared for service brake applications, forces after 10 and 90 minutes are compared for emergency brake applications. Air flow demand is compared. Findings are that service worn brake systems require up to 5 times more air at -40°C compared to a new brake system at the same temperatures; service worn brake systems demonstrate degraded performance at colder temperatures. The brake force degradation, both in maximum achieved peak force and the length of time the force is held has implications for rail operations during service braking, emergency braking, and during the recovery from emergency brake applications. |
