Method of operating a viscous clutch assembly and viscous clutch

摘要

The viscous clutch assembly, the rotor (104) with, you surround the rotor, the job chamber (114) demarcate with the rotor, selectively the rotary possible component (102) with, the rotor (104) the rotor (104) penetrating with the front and the rear, it is demarcated, in order the job chamber (114) with the fluid to communicate in the front and the rear of the rotor the 1st open part which is demarcated (126A) with, the rotor (104) it is supported, the 2nd open part (138) the reservoir which it possesses (112) with, the rotor (106) it is supported,The 2nd open part (138) the cover plate in order to cover selectively (140) the valve assembly which it possesses (106) with, the 1st open part (126A) with the 2nd open part (138) the rotor (104) the passage which is demarcated (128,130) it has with the territory near. The passage (128,130), the 1st open part (126A) with the fluid it has communicated.
