Abstract
A housing (10) for a braking system (56) comprises a casing (12) defining a cavity (14) for housing one or more friction pads (15). The casing (12) is composed of a plurality of separate walls including a circumferential wall (16), back wall (18), and a front wall (20). The circumferential wall (16) is provided with an internal fluid flow path (36) and a fluid inlet (38) and fluid outlet (40) which communicate with the fluid flow path (36). When a supply (45) of fluid is connected with the fluid inlet (38) and outlet (40) via a fluid circuit (43), fluid is circulated through the fluid flow path (36) to cool the housing (10).
