It slows down the drying time
To turn on retarder systems in vehicles, typically you would locate the retarder control switch, which is often found on the dashboard or near the gear shift. Depending on the vehicle, you may need to engage the retarder by pulling a lever, pressing a button, or turning a dial. Ensure that the vehicle is in the appropriate gear and speed range for effective use of the retarder. Always consult the vehicle's manual for specific instructions, as systems may vary by manufacturer and model.
Are you talking about the Jake Brake on semis?
Usually busses do not have retarders because they are too loud and cannot be used inside most city limits on a semi truck they have a switch to turn on the jake brake (engine brake, or retarder) when the switch is on and you let the accelerator all the way up the brake takes over. All a retarder does is use your air brakes (or hydraulic) less to prevent overheating that will lead to brake loss.
Yes, trisodium citrate can be used as a cement retarder. It works by delaying the hydration process of cement, which slows down the setting time. Trisodium citrate is often preferred for its ability to control the setting time of cement mixes effectively.
Steep downgrades, when you need it to control your descent.
retarder increases time to set, accelerator decreases setting time
