Abstract:
A brake heat reducing system for use in conjunction with a vehicular braking system activated by pressurized fluid during a braking event, comprising:a control device that is energized in response to the deceleration of the vehicle during the braking event, the control device including an accelerometer that responds to the deceleration of the vehicle during the braking event; and a modulating device activated by the control device to modulate the pressurized fluid to the braking system during the braking event, the modulating device comprising: a body member having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet interconnected by a fluid canal for pressurized fluid passage; and a solenoid valve supported by the body member and communicating with the fluid canal to selectively reduce fluid passage therethrough to modulate the passage of pressurized fluid to the fluid outlet; and a safety switch supported by the body member and communicating with the fluid canal to selectively deactivate the solenoid valve in response to the pressurized fluid reaching a predetermined pressure value, and wherein the control device comprises a timer relay connected for pulsating off-on current to the solenoid valve.
