HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OF A CLUTCH OF A MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSMISSION
A hydraulic system for a clutch has a pump conveying a hydraulic fluid stream via a heat exchanger to a controllable hydraulic valve which divides the hydraulic fluid stream into a first part stream and a second part stream. The first part stream flows to a reservoir via friction linings of the clutch and the second part stream flows to the reservoir via a hydraulic path bypassing the friction linings. The hydraulic system is set up for upgrading a cooling of the clutch by increasing the first part stream at the expense of the second part stream and for reducing the cooling of the clutch by increasing the second part stream. The system is set up for temporarily upgrading the cooling of the clutch in the event of a changeover of torque transfer from transfer via a first part transmission to transfer via a second part transmission of the transmission.
1 . A hydraulic system for a clutch of a motor vehicle transmission, the hydraulic system comprising:
a heat exchanger;
a controllable hydraulic valve;
a reservoir;
a hydraulic path; and
a pump for conveying a hydraulic fluid stream via said heat exchanger to said controllable hydraulic valve which divides the hydraulic fluid stream into a first part stream and a second part stream, of which the first part stream flows to said reservoir via friction linings of the clutch and the second part stream flows to said reservoir via said hydraulic path bypassing the friction linings, the hydraulic system being set up for upgrading a cooling of the clutch by increasing the first part stream at an expense of the second part stream and for reducing the cooling of the clutch by increasing the second part stream at an expense of the first part stream, the hydraulic system being set up for temporarily upgrading the cooling of the clutch in an event of a changeover of torque transfer from transfer via a first part transmission to transfer via a second part transmission of the motor vehicle transmission.
2 . The hydraulic system according to claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic system is set up for one of cutting off and not upgrading the cooling of the clutch during a preselection of a specific step-up in the first and second part transmission currently transferring no torque.
