  • VISCOUS CLUTCH WITH HIGH-SPEED RESERVOIR AND BIMETAL COIL MEMBER
    Publication number: 20160123409
    Abstract: A viscous fan drive including a fluid valve activated by a bimetal member, and including a clutch disk member and fluid reservoir rotatable at input speed. The fluid reservoir is contained in a reservoir chamber member positioned on the clutch disk member. The bimetal coil member controls the operation of a valve member which in turn controls the passage of fluid into the working chamber for operation of a cooling fan.
