  • Publication number: 20070277518
    Abstract: A hydrodynamic torque converter includes a pump wheel with a plurality of pump wheel vanes arranged in a row in the circumferential direction around an axis of rotation; a turbine wheel, which can rotate relative to the pump wheel around the axis of rotation and which has a plurality of turbine wheel vanes arranged in a row in the circumferential direction around the axis of rotation; and a stator with a plurality of stator vanes arranged in a row in the circumferential direction around the axis of rotation. The pump wheel, the turbine wheel, and the stator define a hydrodynamic circuit with an outside diameter Da, an inside diameter Di, and a maximum axial length La, where (1) Di/Da<0.58 and (2) Da5?5.2?1×1010×M, where M is the maximum torque in Nm to be transmitted via the hydrodynamic torque converter, and Da is the outside diameter of the hydrodynamic circuit in mm.
