Abstract: An outside control type fan coupling apparatus has a double valve structure with plural oil supply adjustment holes. Temperature of engine coolant, acceleration of the engine, an air conditioner, vehicle speed and so on are parameters for controlling opening and closing valves of the oil supply adjustment holes. This rotation of the fan is fluctuated so that fan noises at the time of fan rotation fluctuation are suppressed. Also, if engine rotation accelerates to more than a certain level, the fan coupling apparatus is turned Off, and fan noise due to coupling rotation is prevented. Further, if engine rotation is less than a constant rotational speed, the fan coupling apparatus is turned Off, Middle, and fan noise due to coupling rotation of the fan at the time of acceleration and fan noise due to coupling rotation at the time of startup of the engine are prevented.

Abstract: A temperature sensitive fluid type fan coupling apparatus is provided which can prevent "an accompanying rotation" phenomenon from being generated so as to reduce fan sound and improve fuel consumption. The fan coupling apparatus comprises a sealing device box including a cover and a case which is separated into an oil reserving chamber and a torque transmission chamber by a partition plate. A drive disc is fixed to a rotary shaft body and is disposed inside the torque transmission chamber to support the sealing device box. A circulating flow passage delivers oil from the torque transmission chamber to the oil reserving chamber. A valve member for opening and closing a supply hole communicating between the torque transmission chamber and the oil reserving chamber is provided so as to increase and reduce an effective contact area for the oil in the drive disc and torque transmission gap portion, thereby controlling a torque transmission to the side of the sealing device box driven by the rotary shaft body.
