ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for cooling racing car brake assemblies removes entrained contaminants from the airstream prior to allowing the cooling airstream to impinge upon the brake assembly. The apparatus first comprises a rectangular or cylindrical housing for directing the airflow, disposed at the front of the vehicle. The housing contains a conical or V-shaped baffle to serve as a first compression stage, while a tapered portion or pair of angled walls forms a second compression stage, spaced from the baffle. A tubular outlet communicates with an aperture located between the two compression stages, and cleansed air is fed to the brake assembly by a hose attached to the housing outlet. The inertia of the entrained contaminants causes them to pass somewhat linearly through the compressing stages and out a pair of exit ports at the rear of the housing. This flow-through construction obviates the need for any additional mechanism to collect or remove the separated contaminants.
