A torque converter can be identified as a device which acts as a link between the transmission and the engine, allowing a vehicle engine to spin separately from the transmission. The increase in the manufacture of automatic transmission (AT) vehicles has led to sight opportunities for torque converter market over the forecast period for its benefit of reduced use of clutches resulting to more ease in gear shifts.
2. INTRODUCTION
A TORQUE CONVERTER ISA TYPE OF FLUID COUPLING THAT IS
COMMONLY USED IN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS TO
TRANSFER POWER FROM THE ENGINE TO THE TRANSMISSION.
IT ISDESIGNED TO ALLOW FOR SMOOTH AND EFFICIENT
POWER TRANSFER BY USING A COMBINATION OF FLUID
MECHANICS AND MECHANICAL COMPONENTS. THE TORQUE
CONVERTER CONSISTS OF THREE MAIN PARTS: THE IMPELLER,
THE TURBINE, AND THE STATOR. AS THE ENGINE SPINS THE
IMPELLER, IT FORCES TRANSMISSION FLUID INTO THE
TURBINE, WHICH THEN TURNS THE TRANSM ISSION'S INPUT
SHAFT. THE STATOR REDIRECTS THE FLOW OF FLUID, WHICH
HELPS TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY AND REDUCE HEAT. TORQUE
CONVERTERS ALSO PROVIDE A TORQUE MULTIPLICATION
EFFECT, ALLOWING THE ENGINE TO OPERATE AT LOWER
SPEEDS WHILE STILL PROVIDING ENOUGH POWER TO MOVE
THE VEHICLE.
