Thermal analysis and thermovision laboratory tests of electric brakes

The purpose of this article was to show two thing thermal issues theory and thermovision tests in the laboratory. The main idea of this article was to describe the thermal issues theory of interesting problem base on the thermovision tests of new type electric brake prototype. After the creation of new product the designer needed to know how behave the prototype of the brake during tests with higher energy which could increase the temperatures on the object in our case of the electric brake prototype. The first step in that kind of issues was thermal analysis, which is very useful to define and subscribe the thermal issues. The second step it was measurement of the temperature, which was really significant during the electric brake tests. It was really important to check the temperature of engines. If there was some influence to the brake during braking. One of the method was using special thermal camera. The camera was checking the temperature during whole test after beginning the test to the end of the trial. The full spectrum of the temperature allowed the author to verify if there was some influence of temperature to the new electric brake prototype. The thermocouple was other type of sensors, which was normally used in our laboratory methodology to check temperature during the test. The pyrometer was other type of the method, which was used to measure the temperature after the test. The results of this measurement were subscribed in this article.
