Coolant fluid transfer device and method for conveying coolant fluid to a rotating member

摘要

A fluid transfer device (16) and a method for conveying a coolant fluid from a fluid transfer device (16) to a rotating member (32) are provided. The fluid transfer device (16) includes a housing (66) disposed around a first rotating member (32) extending along an axis. The housing (66) has a first plurality of apertures (94) extending radially therethrough that communicate with the fluid source. The first rotating member (32) has a second plurality of passageways (280) extending radially from a first exterior surface of the first rotating member to a third passageway (256) extending generally axially within the first rotating member (32). Further, the second plurality of passageways (280) communicate with the first plurality of apertures (94), wherein the fluid flows through the first plurality of apertures (94) and the second plurality of passageways (280) to the third passageway (256) in the first rotating member (32).
