Abstract:
A hydrodynamic brake, which comprises a stator and a rotor which are coaxial and have respective opposed annular recesses which open toward each other to form a toroid-shaped space. A first medium is supplied to the space for providing braking action during rotation of the rotor. At least one injection member is arranged to supply a second medium to the toroid-shaped space for reducing the circulation of air in the toroid-shaped space when no brake action is desired.
