Abstract

This paper describes a design procedure for three element torque converters. The torque converter, consisting of closely coupled hydraulic turbines and pumps, forms an essential part in the transmission systems of many power lines. Efficient torque converters are therefore essential if maximum energy is to be transmitted to the output shaft. The design procedure consists of two components, the first establishes the overall dimensions and mean streamline blade angles using a one-dimensional fluid dynamic analysis, whilst the second uses a detailed integrated fluid dynamic procedure to predict the performance of the proposed torque converter design. The design procedure is developed in full whilst the prediction procedure which is published elsewhere, is used along with published data to assess the quality of the torque converter designs.
