Testing
T he brakes were mounted as recommended in the HP Brakes Installation Instruction Manual. No guard or cover was used during testing. Addition of machine guarding, fan or blower cooling, differences in ambient conditions, location, mounting method, etc. will affect heat (hp) dissipation capacity of any air-cooled brake. Careful consideration should be given to all conditions surrounding installation. Please consult The Montalvo Corporation for help in application sizing.
Testing Conditions:
Ambient Temperature . . . . . . .55 ° - 60 ° F (13 ° -16 ° C)
Humidity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .65 - 70%
Cast Iron Bulk Temperature . . . . . . . .350 ° F (177 ° C)
Effective Cooling Speed (ECS):
The speed at which a brake will dissipate a given heat horsepower.

Note:
Montalvo Brakes are called upon to operate within a wide speed range when used in converting applications. They do not carry “nominal” ratings.
