No. Water under pressure doesnt have the mass for the stress placed on brake fluid or hydrolic fluid. Water is best used for cooling. It will still cool at 700 degrees F, at this point it is considered a plasma. Hydolic fluids such as brake fluid, Transmission Fluid and hydrolic fluids or oils will exert the same pressure as what is placed upon it. It is one of the major differences between oil and water. Also, water under pressure freezes, oil does not. Hooweestik.
The combination of pneumatic and hydraulic brake car and only used in heavy vehicles. The brakes of the vehicle, but transmission by air pressure brake with hydraulic force acts.
Instead of using hydraulic brake fluid to apply the pads to the brake drums or discs, air pressure is used.
No, they use air pressure or actually the lack of air pressure to stop the vehicle. The brakes are fully on until pressure builds up in the tank releasing the brakes. When you push the brake pedal this removes air from the system and applies the brakes.
In all cars and most trucks HYDRAULIC pressure is used to apply the brakes. In an air brake system such as is found on medium and heavy duty trucks the air is actually released to apply the brakes.
Your brake fluid is how the brake system converts mechanical force of your foot on the brake pedal, into hydraulic force that applies your brakes. Without fluid, your hydraulic brakes will not function.
You have hydraulic brakes and air brakes. Hydraulic brakes can be drum or disc. Air brakes can be drum, disc, or wedge. On a lot of medium duty trucks and RVs, the parking brake can be a shaft brake, mounted to the back of the transmission.

a brake compensator aka proportioning valve.do to the fact that the front brakes useually do 70 percent of the stopping the compensator reduces the pressure of the brake fluid from the master cylinder to the rear brakes being they need less hydraulic pressure to stop. it also acts as a saftey valve in case a brake hose or line bursts, it will let to brakes retain pressure for emergency stop

No. Hydraulic brakes can be either drum or disc brakes, and these two brake types are available as air brakes and air-over-hydraulic systems, as well.
Brakes that are actuated by a hydraulic fluid (such as brake fluid). Other types are air over hydraulic (air actuates hydraulics) and pneumatic (air) brakes.
if the vehicle has hydraulic brakes, pump the brake pedal three times. them apply firm pressure to the pedal and hold for five seconds. the pedal should not move. if it does, there may be a leak or other problem. get it fixed before driving.
