    Abstract: A bicycle disc brake caliper is provided with a cooling system that transfers heat away from the actuating fluid. Basically, the bicycle disc brake caliper has a housing and a piston unit, with a coolant member of the cooling system attached to the housing. The housing has a frame mounting member sized to be coupled to a portion of a bicycle frame. The piston unit is movably coupled to the housing between a release position, in which the piston unit is spaced from a brake disc mounted to a wheel of a bicycle, and a braking position, in which the piston unit engages the brake disc of the bicycle wheel. The coolant member has a coolant area for receiving coolant to create a coolant heat sink that transfers heat from the housing. The housing has an actuating passage in fluid communication with the piston unit to move the piston unit via an actuating fluid. In one embodiment, the cooling system includes a pump and a reservoir. In another embodiment, a coolant or water bottle is a attached to the coolant member for manually adding coolant thereto. In another embodiment, the coolant member is filled with a high specific heat gel.

    Abstract: A vehicle wheel and rotor assembly is provided for use with a vehicle having a disc-type brake. The assembly includes a wheel for threaded connection with an axle and a rotor. The rotor has a core section joined to an annular ring section and the core section has apertures aligned for threadably joining the rotor to the wheel. Heat pipes are embedded within said rotor core. The heat pipes provide a heat sink for the annular ring section of the rotor causing a fluid within the heat pipe to vaporize on an end of the heat pipes more adjacent to the annular ring section and to condense on an end of the heat pipe more adjacent to the wheel to transfer heat from the annular ring to the wheel.

    Abstract: A disc brake cooling arrangement in which the rotating brake disc friction surfaces are in heat transfer contact with the evaporator section of a heat pipe arrangement. The heat transferred during low levels of braking is transmitted to ambient air or other heat exchange means by conduction and convection. When sufficiently severe braking loads occur so that the conduction mode of heat transfer will not carry away the heat at a sufficient rate, the heat pipe liquid is vaporized and builds up vapor pressure to bring the heat pipe into efficient operation. As the cooling system quickly shifts into this mode of operation the entire heat pipe assembly in effect suddenly increases its thermal conductivity by several orders of magnitude and the heat is rapidly carried away to the heat pipe condenser section, where it is then removed by a suitable heat exchanger arrangement. The heat pipe assembly is provided as a part of each disc brake pad assembly, and is replaceable with the pad.
