Technology for Achieving a Smaller Torque Converter Torus in Consideration of Downsized Turbocharged Engines

Abstract

In recent years, Torque Converter is required to be small and has suitable specifications for downsized turbocharged engines. However, minimization of torus could affect torque converters performance negatively, because of the increasment of fluid flow velocity and noise level. This time we did CFD analysis and experiment of cavitation to investigate the method to minimize of Torque Converter.
