  • Transmission having a fluid cooling shroud
    Patent number: 9599406
    Abstract: A transmission having improved heat dissipation components is disclosed. The transmission includes a housing having housing walls defining an internal chamber and a rotatable input shaft extending through one of the housing walls into the internal chamber. Power transmission components are disposed in the internal chamber and rotatably driven by the input shaft. An output shaft extends through one of the housing walls from the internal chamber and is rotatably driven by the power transmission components. A lubricating fluid is disposed in the internal chamber and lubricates the power transmission components. A cooling shroud surrounds the housing and includes a cooling passageway in fluid communication with the internal chamber. The lubricating fluid flows out of the internal chamber into the cooling passageway, through the cooling passageway, and back into the internal chamber.
