VEHICLE HYDROMECHANICAL TRANSMISSION AND SUSPENSION COOLING SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B60K11/02 B60H1/32 F01P7/16 

FIELD: transport engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to design of cooling systems of transmission and suspension of vehicles. Proposed cooling system contains self-contained cooling circuit of hydrodynamic torque converter and planetary gearbox including first radiator, third section of head exchanger and first pump, self-contained cooling circuit of hydrostatic steering mechanism including second radiator, second section of heat exchanger and second pump, self-contained cooling circuit of hydraulic shock absorber unit including third radiator, heat exchanger and third pump, and self-contained cooling circuit of standby generator drive reduction gear including fourth pump and first section of heat exchanger. System is furnished with first, second, third and fourth electromagnetic clutches and electromagnetic clutch engagement control unit, and first, second, third and fourth liquid heating temperature sensors, arranged, respectively, in cooling circuits of hydrodynamic torque converter and planetary gearbox, hydrostatic steering mechanism, hydraulic shock absorber unit and standby generator drive reduction gear.

EFFECT: reduced power consumption for driving of pumps of cooling circuits of hydromechanical transmission and suspension.
