The current 20-2013 issue of specialist journal KRAFTHAND features a comprehensive report on the significance of intact brake fluid: Brake fluid can only be safely and reliably transferred at high temperatures if it is changed on a regular basis. Obviously, the editors at Krafthand have had a look around among the specialists, with the result that this comprehensive article appears entirely under the banner of ROMESS. Author Rudolf Guranti describes how you arrive at “soft brakes” - to the problem which, at the present time, only ROMESS devices can come to grips with on the basis of their patented conveyor technology. “Brake fluid possesses a negative characteristic, namely, it absorbs water and binds chemically with it. Over time, more and more water particles accumulate in the brake fluid. On the one hand, this water causes corrosion on the inner metal surface of the brake components, such as the main brake cylinder or wheel cylinders. On the other hand, it forms vapor bubbles that lower the boiling temperature. This means the more water there is in the brake fluid, the lower the boiling temperature. And because this mixture heats up when the brakes are applied, too high a water content can lead to total failure of the braking system, since not enough brake pressure is allowed to build up.”
