We select the straight truck which install the engine brake (Jacobs)without water spray,carrying out braking performance limit parameter test on the 26km length,2.57% average longitudinal grade of the mountain highway.The test shows that when the truck passes downhill and open the engine brake (Jacobs),the brake drum temperature maintained at 150 °C or less.So it can solve the straight truck pass the long downhill sections of mountain highway fundamentally and the brake without spraying water.
