Title: Research on and Analysis of Brake Fluid Impact on Brake System Performance †
Keywords: brake dynamometer, brake fluid, brake force, brake system, brake system efficiency, temperature, thermal imaging, wet and dry boiling point

Abstract: The present study focuses on the influence of brake fluid on the efficiency of a braking system. Consecutive tests were conducted on the brake discs of a laboratory vehicle heated to approximately 400 °C, and the temperature of the brake fluid was measured. The boiling points of the brake fluid in the brake system of the test vehicle were also measured and compared with other brake fluids of different brands but identical specifications. The brake fluids tested were both new brake fluids stored in an unopened state and brake fluids that had been opened for more than a year. This was intended to determine which of the elements has the most critical effect on the braking properties of the brake system.
