Experimental Method of Slip and Surface Temperatures for a Silicone-Oil Fan Clutch

Article Preview

Abstract:

A viscous fan clutch with double grooves is taken as a studying example for measuring its slip and surface temperatures. The grooves between driving and driven plate of the viscous clutch are filled with silicone-oil in this study. Experimental methods and test rig to measure the slip and surface temperatures for a viscous clutch are discussed. The relations of the clutch slip and clutch surface temperatures with the change of the input speed are measured.
