Functional Description
The Voith Retarder 115 E is a powerful, hydrodynamic continous brake of compact design.
The retarder is driven and braking torque is transmitted by pinions in the gearbox. The transmission ratio
enables the retarder to achieve high braking torques right down to low r.p.m. ranges with the compactest
configuration (small rotor/stator).
Retarder braking torque is sustained even when gear changes are made.
Do not use the switched-on retarder as handbrake while vehicle is in still-stand!
During a failure of the retarder, or while the temperature-adaptation is effective, the vehicle-speed must
be settled by using the service-brake and the lowest possible gear.
Aftersales Service Manual Voith Retarder 115 E General – Function- and Operation Scheme
15300009710 / cbtsd 02-11 Page 16
Temperature Sensor Cooling Water (19), Oil (20)
The temperature sensors are installed in the cooling system of the vehicle (cooling-return circle from the
retarder to the the heat exchanger) and in the retarder oil duct and transmit signals on cooling water and
oil temperature to the control unit (2).To prevent the temperatures preset in the control unit (2) for water
and oil being exceeded, the retarder braking torque is adapted to protect the vehicle cooling system and
the retarder.
The braking torque and consequently the heat generated are reduced until a balance is obtained between
the braking energy of the retarder and the amount of heat which can be dissipated by the vehicle cooling
system.
If the cooling water temperature rises into the temperature adaption range, the consequence is an adap-
tion of the retarder braking torque to protect the vehicle cooling system. If the temperature rises above
the temperature adaption range, there is no more braking torque output.
While the temperature adaption is effective or if there is a retarder failure, the service brake must be used
to control the vehicle.
Additionally the control unit cuts back braking torque if oil temperature rises too rapidly - irrespective of
actual oil temperature.
Pressure regulating valve (62)
The pressure regulating valve (62) adjusts the lubrication in the no-load operation of the retarder.
15300009710 / cbtsd 02-11 Page 17
Pressure sensor (72)
The pressure sensor (72) observes the pneumatic constant-air pressure. At deviation of the permissible
pressure tolerance an error is stored from the control unit displayed in the vehicle display in dependence
of the OEM equipment.
Casing ventilation (23)
During braking, the oil displaces the air present in the working circuit via the casing ventilation (23) and
the ventilation system (22) out of the retarder.
Once the working circuit is free of air, a float rises and closes the casing ventilation.
Non-return valve (63) inlet
When the retarder is switched on, the oil sump is pressurized, causing the check valve (63) to open and
the oil to enter the working space.
Non-return valve (64) outlet
The oil pressure in the working space opens the check valve (64), causing the oil to enter the heat
exchanger (1), to be cooled and to be returned to the working circuit.
Proportional valve (21)
Depending on the size of the electrical input signal a pneumatic constant-air pressure gets controlled from
the proportional valve to the oil tank of the retarder.

Example:
• Long distance traffic
2. „Heavy duty“
Subject to more than normal stress.
Examples:
• Use in regions with high ambient temperature (e.g. Saudi-Arabia)
• High max. permissible weight with low rated engine power (< 6 kW / metric ton)
• Streches with lots of hills and valleys
• Extreme short-distance traffic with lots of gradients
The given maximum specified figures can be lowered, if overall maintenance cycles for the vehicle are
improved.
With a total-life of the retarder of more than 10%, covered on the vehicle-performance, as well as other
factors not mentioned here also affect the ageing of the oil, it may be necessary to shorten the intervals
between oil changes in individual cases.
For use in extremely cold zones, oils in an appropriately lower viscosity class must be used.
In doubts please contact our customer service.

Maintenance – Oil Change
3.3 Oil Change
Notice
The gearbox- and retarder oil tanks are seperated from each other at the gearbox-retarder-system. Both
oil circuits are cooled down independently in a 3-chamber steel heat exchanger of the retarder
- without limited compromizes.
For satisfacory retarder operation, it is important to adhere to the specified service filling (see table
page 29) and to use only oils specified in the operating specifications page 21 for operating the retarder
in the relevant application.
For draining the oil the temperature of the retarder oil must have reached the operating temperature.

If available, the foot control of the retarder must be switched off and switched on first after the described
work process again.
13. Operate the retarder after the oil change only during the drive at a speed of at least 50 km/h 5 times
for respectively approx. 5 seconds in position 2 at the retarder stage switch or brake stage 1.
Take the OEM specific using variants into account to this.
The vehicle must not go slower than 20 km/h at this.

Note
The retarder pilot light additionally has the function of a fault code. An on-board-diagnosis (display) is
OEM-specific possible. Heed herefore the statements of the vehicle manufacturer:
• slight fault
Permanent light in position 0 - 5 of retarder stage switch, braking is still possible to limited
extent.
• serious fault
Permanent light in position 0 - 5 of retarder stage switch,, braking is no longer possible -
the retarder is switched off.
Note
If ignition is switched off and on, the retarder is in operation again and the retarder pilot light goes off.
If a serious fault remains present or reoccurs, the retarder switches off again and the retarder pilot light
comes on permanently in position 0 to 5 of the retarder stage switch.

according tables on pages 93 ff.
Attention!
If the nominal value of the constant-air pressure (py) is obtained, however the pump pressure is below,
the retarder is inside defect.
If the respectively required set point is fallen at the measuring of the constant-air pressure (py), either a
leak of the retarder or a defect is due to the control (see troubleshooting diagram).
The constant-air pressure (py) must not change during the drive.

2) The code-number is on the control unit.
3) If a commercially available multimeter is used for measurements (without real effective measuring) exact readings cannot be made (indication jumps!)
4) Decisive is the pressure which has built up itself after 30 seconds (stabilized, constant pressure).
5) The values are not steadily because of continuous control in the closed loop (however within the stated range).

Notice
If this work sequence is performed with the retarder in situ, the following prior jobs must be performed:
1. Screw out oil-drain plugs (107 and 4200) as well as the oil filler plug (for quicker drain) and
drain oil.
2. Shut, if available, the stopcocks in the cooling-water circuit of the vehicle.
3. Remove the cooling water hoses of the heat exchanger. 107

pressure lines to bottom connection (arrow).
2. Fill heat exchanger (6400) on water side with hot water (approx. 70oC).
3. Slowly pressurize the heat exchanger (6400) from 0 to max. 10 bar overpressure (oil section of the
heat exchanger).
Notice
If air bubbles form in the hot water the heat exchanger is leaking and must be exchanged.

3. Install retarder, if necessary (see page 99 ff).

4. Fill in cooling-water and bleed cooling-water circuit.
If available, open the check valves in the flow- and return pipe of the cooling-water section.
Attention!
If the heat exchanger leaks, there is water present in the retarder. If the retarder is filled up, a mixture of
oil and water is created, causing the oil in the retarder to foam and escape through the casing ventilation
system to the atmosphere. For this reason, it is indispensible to flush out the retarder after repair!
While flushing, apply the brake gently several times to prevent the retarder oil warming up excessively.
5. Flush the retarder, if the heat exchanger has leaked as follows:

To flush the retarder, fill it with 7,0 litres of engine- or flushing oil. Apply the brakes gently several
times to flush out the retarder system and drain the oil through the oil drain plugs (107 and 4200).
Repeat the procedure 2 or 3 times.
6. Check integrated sealing rings of oil-drain plugs for possible damages;
renew oil-drain plug if necessary.
7. Screw oil-drain plug (107, 4200) tight
Tightening torque oil-drain plug (107, 4200): 47 Nm (80 Nm) 107
8. Fill in retarder oil (see page 29).

9. If heat exchanger were leaking, deoil cooling- and heatingsystem of vehicle according manufacturer 4200 4200
