Dowty retarder

The exit speed of the vehicle is related to the braking power of the dowty retarder, the number of roofs, the weight of the vehicle, the height difference of the section, the resistance of the vehicle

When the dowty retarder is used in marshalling stations, it must also adapt to the characteristics of the dowty retarder and meet its technical requirements.

It turns out that this is the legendary dowty retarder, which is installed on the rail and contacts the wheels by sliding the cylinder cap head to brake and decelerate the freight vehicle.

When a train with an empty car or a caboose passes through the dowty retarder zone, because the roof has a reaction force on the wheels, if the pulling speed is too fast or instantaneous acceleration

What are the requirements for the use of the dowty retarder? Let me introduce you
