What is the total length of the 2 ½ in. hose in the Telma Transmission Retarder?

The total length of the 2 ½ in. hose in the Telma Transmission Retarder is 400 ft. This component is critical in the context of firefighting and emergency response as it is designed to slow down vehicle speed without excessive wear on the brakes, leveraging hydraulic resistance.

Understanding the specific length of the hose is important for planning and operational efficiency, especially in scenarios where the retarder is deployed under extended use. The design and engineering of such systems account for factors like heat dissipation, fluid dynamics, and overall performance, hence the precise specification of 400 ft. ensures that the system operates effectively within its intended parameters.

Other lengths, such as 1000 ft., 600 ft., or 800 ft., do not correspond to the specifications provided for this type of equipment, indicating either an overestimate or underperformance in hose capacity that would not support the retarding mechanism adequately.
