  • Hydrodynamic torque converter
    Patent number: 11644090
    Abstract: A hydrodynamic torque converter (1) with a converter torus formed by a pump wheel (3) and a turbine wheel (4) and a guide wheel (5). The guide wheel (5) is supported rotatably by a first axial bearing (51) and a second axial bearing (52). A sealing device (11), with a sealing gap, is provided in the area of the first axial bearing (51), which impedes a through-flow of the working fluid of the torque converter (1) through the first axial bearing (51).
    Type: Grant

  • Hydrodynamic torque converter
    Patent number: 11473660
    Abstract: A hydrodynamic torque converter (1) with a pump wheel (3) and with a turbine wheel (4), and with a torsion damper (8) and with an intermediate space (12) located between the turbine wheel (4) and the torsion damper (8), and with a torus formed by the pump wheel (3) and the turbine wheel (4) for hydraulic fluid. A flow-guiding wall (14) is provided, which deflects a radially outward flow of hydraulic fluid coming from the torus, back radially inward to the intermediate space (12).

  • HYDRODYNAMIC TORQUE CONVERTER WITH A TORSIONAL DAMPER WALL
    Publication number: 20220003300
    Abstract: A hydrodynamic torque converter (1) with a bridging clutch (6) and with a torsion damper (8), and with a piston (7) and with an intermediate space (9) between the piston (7) and the torsion damper (8). The piston (7) serves to actuate the bridging clutch (6). The torsion damper has a torsion damper wall (85) via which hydraulic fluid, flowing into the intermediate space (9), is guided toward the bridging clutch (6).

  • Method for internally cleaning powder-carrying lines
    Patent number: 5170591
    Abstract: A method for internally cleaning a powder-carrying hose conduit of an electrostatic powder coating system between changes in powder color. A granule/air stream is conducted through the hose to be cleaned, and the granules are returned for re-use after they emerge from the hose.
