Hydrodynamic torque converter for automotive industry using fluid obtained from hydrodynamic circuit within torque converter housing for cooling clutch associated with torsional oscillation damper

摘要

The torque converter has a pump wheel (9), a turbine wheel (11) and a control wheel (31) forming a hydrodynamic circuit contained within a torque converter housing (1), a clutch (55) coupling the torque converter housing with a torsional oscillation damper (23), with fluid from the hydrodynamic circuit used for cooling the clutch, the input stage (78) of the torsional oscillation damper associated with a sealing device (116) for controlling the fluid flow path on the output side of the clutch.
