摘要： A vehicle heat generator, which can easily be installed in an engine room, includes a housing, and a heating chamber housed in the housing. The heating chamber contains viscous fluid. A heat transfer chamber is housed in the housing about the heating chamber. Circulating fluid flows through the heat transfer chamber. A rotor is rotatably supported in the heating chamber. The rotor shears the viscous fluid to generate heat. A flow passage of the circulating fluid is defined in the heat transfer chamber. The flow passage encompasses substantially the entire rotor. An ingoing passage connects the exterior of the housing to the flow passage. The circulating fluid flows through the ingoing passage from the exterior to the flow passage. An outgoing passage connects the flow passage to the exterior. The circulating fluid flows through the outgoing passage from the flow passage to the exterior. The ingoing passage and the outgoing passage extend substantially parallel to the rotor axis. The structure of the heat generator also facilitates movement of the viscous fluid in the heating chamber.

摘要： A viscous fluid type heating apparatus capable of achieving both reliable prevention of deterioration in the heat-generating performance of a viscous fluid and reliable prevention of leakage of the viscous fluid from the apparatus, and having a heat generating chamber provided with a first and a second storing region for storing a silicone oil to avoid an application of a shearing action from a rotor element to the viscous fluid and a heat generating gap. The silicone oil is held in the heat generating chamber so that it is able to flow between the heat generating gap and the first storing region which is directly affected by a thermal condition in the heat generating gap. The second storing region is substantially separated from the first storing region and is not directly affected by the thermal condition in the heat generating gap. The flow of the silicone oil between the first and second storing regions is adjustable by a movable element.

摘要： Fluid heating devices may be utilized, for example, to heat a vehicle coolant and may include a rotor body rotatably supported within a rotor housing. A plurality of blades may be disposed on a circumferential surface of the rotor body and a channel may be defined between each two adjacent blades. Each channel has a base portion, an inner circumferential end and an outer circumferential end. Preferably, the inner circumferential end is longer than the outer circumferential end as measured from the base portion. Further, the outer circumferential ends of the channels may define wall portions and the wall portions are preferably shorter than the inner circumferential ends as measured from the base portions of the channels. In view of this design, it is not necessary to provide shields toward the outer circumferential ends of the channels.

摘要： As a viscous fluid (F) contained in a vehicular heat generator provided with a rotor (33), a non-Newtonian fluid having an apparent viscosity that decreases as the shear rate of the rotor (33) increases (e.g., a kind of silicone oil) is employed. The nominal viscosity of the viscous fluid (F) is in the range of 10,000 cSt to 200,000 cSt. If such viscous fluid is employed, the viscous fluid (F) maintains its shear heat generating function over an extended period even under circumstances where the fluid (F) is subjected to over-shearing by over-rotation of the rotor (33). In addition, low-temperature starting of the rotor is facilitated.

摘要： A variable heat generating viscous fluid type heat generator having a housing assembly including movable and fixed plate members arranged to define an axially bounded region in which a heat generating chamber is formed to have an axial width which is changed by the axial movement of the movable plate member with respect to the fixed plate member within the housing assembly by the controlled operation of the moving unit. The change in the axial width of the heat generating chamber causes a change in the gap size of a fluid filled gap between the outer face of the rotor element and the inner wall surface of the heat generating chamber and, accordingly, the heat generating performance of the viscous fluid type heat generator is adjustably varied.

摘要： A viscous fluid type heater is disclosed. The heater has a front housing and a rear housing secured to each other. The front housing has a space in which a first partitioning plate and a second partitioning plate located immovably fitted. A heating chamber that is defined between the first plate and the second plate accommodates viscous fluid. A rotor is rotatably supported in the heating chamber. The rotor rotates and shears the viscous fluid to generate heat. A heat exchange chamber is defined by the first and the second partitioning plates and disposed adjacent to the heating chamber. The heat exchanging chamber allows circulating fluid to flow therethrough so that the circulating fluid is heated by the heat transmitted to the heat exchanging chamber from the heating chamber. A securing structure secures the partitioning plates to the housing and concaves are formed in the outer peripheral surface of the partitioning plates to decrease a contacting area of the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface.

摘要： A variable capacity type viscous heater is provided in which the capacity reduction is carried out securely, and which can inhibit a viscous fluid from deteriorating the endurable heat generation even after a long period of service. For instance, it includes a heat-generating chamber, a collector passage, a supply passage, and a control chamber, which are formed therein. The collector passage is communicated with a central region of the heat-generating chamber, and is capable of opening and closing. The supply passage is communicated with a lower region of the heat-generating chamber. The control chamber is communicated with the collector passage and the supply passage. A silicone oil, held in the heat-generating chamber, is collected into the control chamber by the Weissenberg effect by way of the opened collector passage, thereby carrying out the capacity reduction. Whilst, the silicone oil, held in the control chamber, is supplied into the heat-generating chamber by way of the supply passage, thereby carrying out the capacity enlargement.
