VACUUM BRAKING SYSTEM Mr. Nand Lal Shah, Dept. of Electrical & Electronics Engineering Rabindranath Tagore University, Bhopal

ABSTRACT: For years, the was used as the normal, fail-safe brake used by railways instead of the . The vacuum brake system is manipulated via a brake pipe which connects the brake valve in the driver's car with braking gear on any vehicle. An ejector or exhauster device creates the aspirations in the pipe.

Keywords: Brake valve, Exhauster, Dummy coupling, Coupled hoses, Vacuum reservoir, Brake cylinder, Brake rigging, Brake block, Brake ball.

INTRODUCTION

Brakes consist of mechanical elements to slow or stop shafts on the drives of equipment [1]. They use levers or connections to transmit strength from one point to the next [2]. Braking slows or prevents the shafts moving together [3]. Mechanical are the easiest to set, have a metal strip lined with a friction fabric which is resistant to heat and wear [4]. When the sanding shoes press a spinning surface called a drum, drum brakes which are widely used on automotive rear wheels function. Brake pads, a caliper, a rotor are built in disk brakes [5]. The brake pads are pressed against the rotor during operation [6].

The ejector removes the atmospheric pressure from the brake pipe to generate the vacuum by steam on the steam train, or by a tug, on other kinds of using electric power [7]. The brake is applied completely without vacuum [8]. The vacuum is generated by a motor-driven exhauster in the brake pipe and retained [9]. Two speeds, elevated velocity and low velocity are in the exhauster [10]. The high-speed is turned into a void and the brakes are released [11]. The vacuum at the necessary level to maintain the frequency of brake release is used with slow velocity. The brake pipe is preserved by vacuum from tiny leaks. The function of vacuum braking system parts are:-  Brake valve Using a brake valve, the driver regulates the brake. There are: release, run, lap, stop, lap position to operate the brake system.  Exhauster A two-speed, train-fitting rotary machine to remove the air pressure from the brake tube, tanks, and brake cylinders to release the brake.

 Dummy coupling At the ends of every vehicle, a stupid couple point is provided to seal the ends of the brake pipe hoses when the vehicle has been disconnected.

 Coupled hoses The brake tube is conveyed through flexible tubes between neighboring cars.  Vacuum reservoir A vacuum reservoir on or linked to the top of the piston ensures the operation of the brake has a source of vacuum.

 Brake cylinder The piston motion inside the cylinder runs the brakes via "rigging" connections.  Brake rigging The motion of the brake cylinder piston transmits stress from this mechanism to the brake blocks of every wheel.

 Brake block The friction material pressed on the wheel surface by the upward motion of the piston brake cylinder.

 Ball valve The ball valve must be maintained during the brake release, at the desired level, i.e. the same as the break pipe, while the vacuum in the vacuum tank is maintained, but the brake pipe connection should be locked during brake application.

RESULT & CONCULSION

The vacuum brake was the ordinary, non-stoppable train brake used instead of the air brake by the railways. A brake pipe connects the into the driver's car with the braking equipment of every vehicle to handle the vacuum brake system. The pipe is supplied by an executor or exhaust unit. So, this braking system is more efficient than other brake in train.
