Transmitting Energy by means of ATF flow

Starting of from stationary Torque conversion Phase 1 The turbine wheel is stationary. The pump wheel is rotating. High slip. Maximum boost in torque

Torque conversion Phase 2

The turbine speed increases. Slip is reduced. Torque boost decreases

Torque conversion Phase 3

The turbine speed is almost at pump speed. Low slip. Impeller also rotating. Operate now like a clutch
