Life cycle analysis of Dowty Retarder

The life cycle of dowty retarder is also known as the extreme cycle of dowty retarder, that is, the operation cycle of dowty retarder.

As we all know, the dowty retarder is a kind of hydraulic mechanical equipment. When the wheels are rolling and the parts of the dowty retarder move with each other, the brake work is done to the locomotive and vehicle to realize the purpose of braking, deceleration and parking to the rolling hook car.

With the extension of the operation time and the increase of the number of times of the dowty retarder's wheel pressure, the parts of the dowty retarder appear wear, deformation, fracture, corrosion and other aging problems, which weaken the braking performance of the dowty retarder until it disappears. This process is called the operation cycle of the dowty retarder, also known as the life cycle of the dowty retarder. Beyond this period, the braking performance of the dowty retarder will decline, resulting in vehicle overspeed coupling, even vehicle conflict, derailment and other accidents.
