Voith Animation Retarder VR115 CT (en) 

So it's a hydraulic brake that works via the drive line using fluid dynamics to directly slow the truck. Kinda like at torque converter but in reverse. That is pretty cool.

The holdback these devices give are truly mind-blowing,holding back a full 40ton payload on a 12% grade with no need to use the foot brake.

This video was from 10 years ago, but still the best quality graphics and animations.

A narrator voice is so pleasant. I can listen him for hours.

wow i must have, like, at least 3 of these installed in me

Totally random video recommendation was very interesting for once

Had a retarter in a 2003 Peterbilt 550 cat 18 speed and jake hauling heavy oilfield equipment and it worked great. You would be surprised how much braking power it has. 80,000kms and my brake drums were still black. Only time used any brake was to park. ps. It was a option when I bought the truck and it was $8900. Extra .

the music is from the Wargame series :D Ahhh, I fondly remember 10v10 in Red Dragon

Many trucks here in New Zealand use Voith Retarders in conjunction with Engine Brakes. Jacobs Brakes on a Cummins provides about 300hp of retarding. A Voith provides up to 800hp of retarding. Using both together means you can descend a steep hill fully loaded without cooking your brakes and therefore able to make a safe stop at any time. Voith Retarders work really well, are super reliable, make for quicker average speeds, shorter trip times, extend brake parts life, and crucially, much safer truck operation. They are expensive and add to tare weight, but if you have hilly terrain and or high gross weights they are worth it.

Had one on and R620 Scania V8. The breaking power really in impressive. Plus they make a nice sound when they operate

Had no idea this existed or what it was. Pretty cool. Also was explained really nice

Sistema fantástico, eu trabalhei na construção de uma hidrelétrica chamada UHE - Jirau no Brasil num Mercedes Bens 4144 que tinha o retarder, show de bola!

A backwards torque converter.

I've learned a lot from your videos. I'm looking forward to more wonderful videos.

The beauty of engineering

Hasta hoy en día es el mejor sistema de frenado en un scania . No produce contaminación Sonora.

"driving comfort" On our Wright Streetlites it's so harsh it throws drivers and passengers off their seats!!

Ah, Europe... Always 30 years ahead of us here in the United States... I've honestly never heard of one of these systems in a truck or train here in the United States... Someone tell me if I'm wrong.

I want one and I don't even own a semi truck. I'd just leave it out on my coffee table as a conversation piece. "That? Oh, yeah that's a Voith VR 115 CT retarder unit. I thought everybody knew that."

Amazing animation and very informative.

thanks you very much, i could not undertand it before but now is so easy, like

Herzlichen Glückwunsch sehr gut

That engine is an FPT (Iveco) Cursor engine. Not sure why we don't have those in trucks in North America. They seem to be a very reliable engine in agriculture and construction equipment.

In addition to efficiently slowing down trucks and heavy equipment, it’s also good for dropping on people’s heads.

hi. realy helpful and thank you very much for the video. which software did you use to create this animation. i need to create an educational video for children to promote disability awareness. it will be a great help. thank you

Gibts das Video auch in Deutsch?

*Why not just closed the exhaust pipe??? My truck has it Exhaust Brake. More simple and easy to maintenance.*

What? No MOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBO! No American will buy this.

이거 만든사람 천재인듯. 저기 들어가는 오일이 궁금하네요

Una de las mejores maneras de notar un frenado en video es usando un nivel de burbuja o un recipiente plano transparente, con una determinada cantidad de agua.

How long before we have to rename this too?

...but is it made of prefamulated Amulite?

3:13 - is compression no longer occuring then? Surely the compression still creates substantial heat, whether during acceleration or deceleration events?

Ausgezeichnet 💪💪💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

great video

Keine Ahnung warum ich das vorgeschlagen bekommen habe aber holy car porn batman das sieht super aus!

so its a torque converter in reverse

The only issue I see the oil converter fan is always moving with the truck, what happens if that oil converter fails? Does it freewheel, lock up, or blow up and make a mess if it fails?

*furiously researching how to fix one of these POS that has exploded and locked up the entire drive train leaving customer stuck on motorway*

2014: Energy to heat 2021: Energy to Energy?

Perfect explication thx

I like the part about the things and stuff.

Thank you

Me: wow an active engine brake, such a cool idea Also me: " youre a retarder side gear !"

That doesn't look expensive, heavy or unreliable at all.

You would do well to keep your efficiencies high, mr. Freeman. After all - we are all working for our common cause.

Millennials: “You can’t say that!!!”

why this is this good compared to classical tyres brakes?

They should use this technology for hybrid trucks, instead of just braking the vehicle could also create charge for the battery

I drove some buses that were fitted with retarders and from a drivers point of view and many others driving service buses we hated them , they never came on smoothly , some of them even banging on and off no mater how lightly the brake was pressed , yes they may save on wear and tear but the passengers that were thrown about just blamed the driver and I actually had some heated arguments with them , most were semi automatic but some fully automatic voith push button autos , the way we got round it was to slip the gear change into neutral which made for much smoother stops , but if the company found out you would be reprimanded , this was in the 80 s 90 s so I think judging by the few buses I've traveled on they have sorted it out or just not use them on some of them.

I love when my scania do Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeseeeee. On downhill.🤠🤠

Why not Clutched Dynamo for kinetic to electricity generation

So its just like a fluid flywheel that's forced to stall.

This is just a Cat brakesaver this is old technology

Cant u use it to store the energy for takeoff as well?...kinda like an electronic capacitor...but uses the pressurised oil to drive the turbine and assist the truck in reducing engine load on takeoff...even if it lasted 7 seconds, the reduced engine load would save so much on fuel...like 1st gear is on assist, then from there, motor takes over and builds up air pressure during braking to force the oil to turn the engine on launch after stopping at traffic lights or toll gates

But can they make an "Unretarder" for my ex?

Used to work on these, good bits of kit.

A better solution is to have the PTO drive a hydraulic pump/motor that charges up a piston accumulator during braking. The charged accumulator will then feed the motor to drive the transmission during acceleration via a proportional pressure reducing valve allowing for fine control. That way you do not need the heat exchanger as the energy is recovered. A hybrid system for trucks in essence.

What about jakes? No extra parts needed and it doesn’t use fuel either

Please I want to understand the system well how can I lean more

Oil??? It is on borrowed time...

شكرا على المعلومة المفيدة

خيال احسنتم الصنع

Jake brake, and now this. We'll have to come up with a new slang.

When the load 15th tons above not good work especially in down lift i think more improvement it may be i am wrong thanks

Do VRs cause more fuel consumption ?

The source of this impressive sound😍

👌👌👌

Excelente explicación

I can see this being used as a supplemental system with an engine brake but it seem like it would be a needlessly complicated replacement for one. The greater the complexity the more potential failure points.

why is this recommended again?

seems like more tare weight than a conventional exhaust or jacobs brake, thats probly why they are not real common in the states

I invented an internal combustion engine #enginewithoutcrankshaft

Вещь! 👍

Funciona como um freio é isso ?

And when (not if but when) the electronics fail, you're fucked.

Gotta love Germans' use of Google translate.

My best friend on down slopes !

Awesome

SUPER ANIMACIA

No new technology, no efficiency, no fuel economy, maybe comfort... Market... Only market

Plz total enstulmint onli 1gari plz m driver help mi sar

cool 😎

👍👍

So its an Oil Brake.

So, it is just wasting the kinetic energy into dissipating heat - what a waste of energy!

what you call me ?

or.. or ... stay with me now, just use a jake brake.

Niceeeee pope like voith

Voith🔥

good device

Who else thought this was going to be a joke video?

Я ниче не понял, но это было круто))

What did you just call me

Kehlsteinhaus.

Retarder uzmanı Ostimli Murat ustaya selam olsun

The engine brake is sooooo much less complicated...

WOW! They designed the engine brake! It's revolution! (NO)

Good, now I can brake my beetle
