ABSTRACT:
An improved internally liquid-cooled disc assembly for use in a disc braking system includes a one-piece disc casting having a plurality of cooling cells formed therein. Cooling liquid flows along an incoming flow path formed between an inner flange and a middle flange and, by centripetal force, is forced into the plurality of cooling cells via a corresponding plurality of flow tubes. The cooling liquid absorbs heat generated by a forced braking action against the one-piece disc casting and exits the plurality of cooling cells in a heated liquid/gas state. The heated cooling liquid/gas flows along an outgoing flow path formed between the middle flange and an outer flange. An optional propelling action is created along the incoming flow path by a plurality of impeller fins. An optional pumping action is created along the outgoing flow path by a plurality of stator vanes.
