3. Compression release engine brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_release_engine...

   The typical compression brake consists of a hydraulic system using engine oil which transfers the motion of the fuel injector rocker arm to the engine's exhaust valve(s). When activated, the exhaust valve opens very briefly near the engine's top dead center , and releases the compressed air in the cylinder so that the air compression energy is ...

4. Brake-specific fuel consumption - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake-specific_fuel...

   Brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC) is a measure of the fuel efficiency of any prime mover that burns fuel and produces rotational, or shaft power. It is typically used for comparing the efficiency of internal combustion engines with a shaft output.

5. Retarder (mechanical engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retarder_(mechanical...

   Exhaust brakes are simpler in operation than an engine brake.Essentially, the exhaust pipe of the vehicle is restricted by a valve.This raises the pressure in the exhaust system, forcing the engine to work harder on the exhaust stroke of its cylinders, so again the engine is acting as an air compressor, with the power required to compress the air being withheld from the exhaust pipe, retarding ...
