FORM NO. L-20071-R-1211

NOTE: The auxiliary cooling option is not a standard

feature. It is a passage through which compressed air

can flow for increased thermal capacity. If you desire

this feature or are replacing a brake that has this feature

please contact Nexen at 800-843-7445.

NOTE: Do not use rigid pipe or tubing when making

air line connections.

A 10-32 tapped hole in the piston plate allows auxiliary
cooling of the brake's friction surface (see Figure 3).
Auxiliary cooling increases the brake's thermal capacity
approximately 0.1 HP

t

per 100 SCFH of cooling air over

the brake's rated thermal horsepower at any RPM (see
Table 2).

EXAMPLE: A T-1000 develops 1.0 HP

t

at 200 RPM.

Referring to Table 2, 80 psi of cooling air increases the
HP

t

0.4 (400 SCFH/100 x 0.1). RESULT: Total HP

t

is

1.0+0.4=1.4 HP

t

.

NOTE: Use non-lubricated air tapped off the air line

ahead of the lubricator.

Hose assembly part number is 857000.

CAUTION

The temperature limits for this product
line are 4.5-100 Degree Celsius (40-
220 Degree F).

Never exceed life of facing material. Facing

life depends on the volume of material and

the total energy over the life of the unit.

Expected life (in hrs) can be found by:

Time=Volume/(Power*Wear Rate).
