A fluid is filled in a space between a cover and an outer casing, to which a plurality of vanes are attached, and there is disposed in the aforementioned space a partition which is formed with two fluid inlet ports. An inner casing is sandwiched between the partition and the outer casing thereby to form a reservoir between the cover and the partition, an inner torque transmitting chamber between the partition and the inner casing, and an outer torque transmitting chamber between the inner casing and the outer casing. One of the fluid inlet ports of the partition is made to have communication with the inner torque transmitting chamber, whereas the other fluid inlet port is made to have communication with the outer torque transmitting chamber. The two fluid inlet ports are opened and closed by means of two valves, respectively, which are preset at different temperatures. The temperature-sensitive fluid coupler thus constructed can suppress noise while still reducing the power consumption. |
