Experimental investigation and performance test of heavy duty torque converter

The present study is an investigation on the characteristics of heavy load toque converter by experimental process. To get the dynamic performance, the dynamometer was used with a parameters of speed, torque, oil pressure and oil flux, etc. The torque converter was tested for various input speed, output oil pressure and input oil flow rate. All experiments were investigated in case that the speed ratio is increased. The torque ratio and capacity factor was in inverse proportion to speed. Engine revolution had a more effects at region of low speed ratio. But, the opposite phenomena were represented increase of efficiency. In result of this experiments, the characteristics of torque converter were not influenced by oil pressure and oil flux
