    Fluid Flywheel: Auto Mech

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses the operation of a fluid flywheel clutch. It explains that a fluid flywheel clutch is always engaged like a hydraulic coupling, but the driven member can slip or turn slower than the driving member. It operates by allowing 100% slip at low engine speeds below 500 RPM, then the slip rapidly decreases to around 10% at 1000 RPM and gradually decreases to around 2% slip at 3000 RPM. The simple fluid coupling would not be very efficient due to turbulence, so fluid couplings use a split guide ring to reduce turbulence and make the coupling more efficient.

     THE CLUTCH USED IN AUTOMOTIVE POWER TRAINS WITH
    MANUALLY SHIFTED TRANSMISSION IS A MECHANICAL
    COUPLING.

     WHEN ENGAGED, IT COUPLES THE ENGINE TO THE


    TRANSMISSION. THE FLUID COUPLING IS A HYDRAULIC
    COUPLING IT ALWAYS “ENGAGED”, BUT SINCE THE COUPLING
    IS PRODUCED BY A FLUID, THE DRIVEN MEMBER CAN SLIP OR
    TURN SLOWER THAN, THE DRIVING MEMBER.

     THE FIRST FULLY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM TO


    INCORPORATE A FLUID COUPLING WAS THE AMERICAN GEN
    MOTORS HYDROMANTIC G/BOX , WHICH WAS INTRODUCED IN
    THEIR 1939 OLDSMOBILE CAR.

    OPERATION OF FLUID FLYWHEEL


     IT IS SEEN THAT FOR ENGINE SPEEDS BELOW ABOUT
    500 RPM (FIXED BY THE DESIGNER) , PERCENTAGE SLIP
    IS 100 WHICH MEANS CLUTCH IS FULLY DISENGAGED.
     AS THE ENGINE SPEED INCREASES FURTHER TO
    ABOUT 1000 RPM, THE PERCENTAGE SLIP FALLS
    RAPIDLY TO ABOUT 10, BEYOND WHICH THE SLIP
    DECREASED GRADUALLY TO A SMALL VALVE ABOUT 2
    PERCENT AT ABOUT 3000 RPM.

    OPERATION OF FLUID FLYWHEEL

     . AS PERCENTAGE SLIP REPRESENTS DEFINITE LOSS


    OF ENERGY AND CONSEQUENTLY INCREASED FUEL
    CONSUMPTION, THE ENGINE SHOULD NOT BE
    ALLOWED TO RUN AT A SPEED BETWEEN APPROX 500
    AND 1000 RPM.

     THIS CONDITION IS SIMILAR TO A SLIPPING CLUTCH IN


    CASE OF ORDINARY FRICTION CLUTCHES.

     THE SIMPLE FLUID COUPLING JUST DESCRIBED WOULD


    NOT BE VERY EFFICIENT UNDER MANY CONDITIONS
    BECAUSE OF THE TURBULENCE THAT WOULD SET UP
    IN THE OIL.

    OPERATION OF FLUID FLYWHEEL


     . WHEN THERE IS CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCE IN
    SPEED BETWEEN THE DRIVING AND DRIVEN MEMBERS,
    THE OIL WOULD BE STRIKING THE VANES OF DRIVEN
    MEMBERS WITH GREAT FORCE.

     DUE TO THIS THE OIL SWIRL ABOUT IN ALL


    DIRECTIONS.

     TO REDUCE THIS TURBULENCE AND THERE BY MAKE


    THE COUPLING MORE EFFICIENT , FLUID COUPLINGS
    USE A SPLIT GUIDE RING CANTERED IN THE MEMBERS.
