For those of you who are wondering how Jake brakes work, I'll try to explain in simplest form. When the Jake brakes are activated.. the exhaust valves are kept open. It turns the engine into a big loud air compressor. The force needed to compress the air out through the kept open exhaust valves is what slows the truck down.

@pizza_booty

2 жыл бұрын

not quite; activating the jake brake opens the exhaust valves but that just allows all the compression to escape and therefore it can't turn the crankshaft anymore, resulting in a slow-down

@pizza_booty

@@CB-el3sv i gotchu, but i think youre missing the key word in the name which is compression *release* brake. The engine slows down because all the compression in the cylinders is vented (see: released) to the atmosphere. I think you have the spirit of the answer right but im fairly certain its just a bit off. Sorry if im sounding condescending btw

@averyw.3939

It doesn’t keep the exhaust valves open through the whole compression cycle, just opens them right when the “bang” would normally happen. So the engine has to do the work of compressing the air but doesn’t get the push back on the cylinder from the compressed air, at least that’s my understanding of it.

@KJ-kw7gh

Normal Diesel engines don’t have a butterfly valve on the intake, like a gas engine does. So when you let off the accelerator, even with no fuel being supplied to the engine and causing a detonation, a Diesel engine still compresses the air in the cylinder which is transferred to the crankshaft as energy, which causes little to no engine braking. So a Jake brake causes the exhaust valves to open very near TDC, which releases the compressed air in the cylinder to the atmosphere(out the exhaust system). It turns a Diesel engine effectively into an air compressor.

I remember popping my Jakes going through a tunnel... was second greatest sound my truck made. First was when the flex pipe came off right at the turbo, but I had the music up and was cruising. Got to my exit, came off of cruise, and the Jakes kicked on, and my hood flexed with each pop... scared the shit out of me, I thought the engine was coming out!

When I was a kid 50 years ago now my family would travel from Southern California to Northern California almost every summer to see family or to go to Yosemite. I loved walking through the truck stops listening to the sound of the engines idling, scared that one would come after me, I had seen the movie "Duel". I loved the smell of the diesel exhaust back then, it's not the same now. On one trip we stopped at the top of the Grapevine in the turnout. TO GET SOME SLEEP!? One jake brake after another. Loved it!!

Did the same trip many times. The grape vine back in the fifties. The state had water fountains so people could refill their radiators and also get a drink for themselves. The climb in various parts of THE VINE was brutal, same with the down grades going down. Lots of them were 6 degrees or more and many had run away truck ramps. The uphill pace was so slow back in the day that the drivers would often step out of the cab and ride the running board just to cool off especially in summer. Jake brakes were common as were the jimmy diesels with the blowers, what a sweet sound that made.

@Dortchskii

2 жыл бұрын

They’re called jakes because they were invented by a company called Jacobs Vehicle System inc Jakes only slow down the engine and that braking power is only applied to the rest of the vehicle when the clutch is engaged (clutch pedal released) when your clutch is disengaged (clutch pedal depressed) only the engine is being slowed and that lets you rev match faster. Therefore shifting faster, losing less speed while shifting, and saving fuel. Fun fact Jake brakes do not use any fuel at all. Edit Fun fact two, some modern trucks with automated transmissions also use engine braking to be able to shift quicker. Also edited for clarity. I can make a video explaining some of these things if people happen to be interested.

@michaeldeloach838

These guys are using the Jake to bring down the rpm of the motor quickly to shift quicker while floating through the gears (shifting without the clutch). The downside is it does slow the truck down a little between gears. If they were to just stay on the throttle slightly between gears it wouldn't engage but they would have to wait slightly longer to shift while maintaining their speed. 6 to one, half a dozen to the other.
