SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING TEMPERATURE OF ALTERNATOR AND/OR ENGINE IN AUTOMOBILE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water pump-integrated alternator capable of independently controlling the engine temperature and the alternator temperature. SOLUTION: The water pump integrated alternator 100 includes an alternator 110 having a drive shaft 114 and a water pump 120 having a drive shaft 124. Both the drive shafts 114 and 124 are operably coupled by a coupler 130, and rotation of the drive shaft 114 is selectively transmitted to the drive shaft 124. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
