What is the diameter of the large diameter discharge in the Telma Transmission Retarder?

The diameter of the large diameter discharge in the Telma Transmission Retarder is indeed 4 inches. This detail is important in understanding how the retarder functions within a vehicle's braking system. The Telma Retarder is designed to provide supplementary braking by using an electromagnetic system to create resistance in the drive line, which helps to slow the vehicle down without relying solely on traditional brake systems. The larger diameter allows for efficient discharge of the retarder’s operational fluid, ensuring effective heat dissipation and performance under load.

Understanding this specification helps ensure that when working with or servicing the retarder, appropriate fittings and connections are used to maintain system integrity and performance. Additionally, knowing the diameter is vital for troubleshooting and understanding the overall efficiency of the braking system.
