摘要： A power plant is provided which includes a drive apparatus actuated clutch which can be rapidly engaged to selectively connect a prime mover to a driven device after prolonged exposure of the power plant to cold ambient temperatures. The drive apparatus utilizes a fluid coupling connected, connected in parallel with the clutch for rapidly heating a control volume of fluid used for actuating the clutch. In a preferred embodiment, the fluid coupling also motors the drive mechanism at 5-10% of rated speed to help circulate fluid heated by the fluid coupling through the drive mechanism to thereby reduce start-torque and drag torque experienced by the clutch on start-up. The clutch thus may be made smaller with less risk of burn-out, while still being capable of rapidly engaging following prolonged exposure to cold ambient temperatures.

摘要： Problems such as slow frequency response and low reliability when operating with contaminated fluids of variable viscosity are alleviated in a low pressure hydraulic system (10) which utilizes a single stage, electro-hydraulic, clevis-type pressure control valve (40). The valve (40)includes a control piston (106) referenced to a control pressure within a control pressure cavity (60) to provide a feedback of control pressure which converts the valve (40) from an integral to a proportional control device, thereby enhancing stability of the hydraulic system (10). Compensation for changes in fluid viscosity, as a result of changes in fluid temperature, is provided by fabricating a bifurcated portion (98) and/or a metering bridge portion (62) of the valve (10) from materials having dissimilar coefficients of thermal expansion. Exemplary embodiments of a hydraulic system (10) suitable for use in either vehicular or stationary applications involving pressure actuated devices, such as a clutch (16), automatic transmissions or anti-lock brakes, are provided.
