What is Voith transmission?
The Voith DIWA automotive transmission was specifically designed by Voith primarily for city-buses and suburban buses. The transmission utilizes a Differential-Wandler (Converter) or DIWA which replaces two gears which would be used on a conventional transmission.
What is transmission Turbo?
Turbo transmissions are hydrodynamic, multi-stage drive assemblies whose performance is based on the Föttinger principle of fluid dynamics. Torque converters, fluid couplings and optional hydrodynamic retarders are the key components in these assemblies, which are ideally suited for powered rail vehicles.
How does a Voith retarder work?
Using an oil supply that is independent of the transmission fluid, the oil in Voith’s oil retarders can tolerate the maximum permissible operating temperatures. The braking energy is transferred via the heat exchanger to the vehicle’s cooling circuit, where it is effectively dissipated.
What kind of transmission does a bus have?
Today, over 300,000 midsize, city and intercity buses worldwide use a DIWA automatic transmission. Millions of passengers enjoy a more comfortable ride with less noise. At speeds that require other transmissions to shift two to three times, Voith offers you the benefit of stepless accelerating and braking.
How much oil is filled in the coupler of the fluid coupling?
The maximum allowable oil fill amounts to approximately 80% of the total capacity of the Fluid Coupling. This level should never be exceeded since overfilling may cause over pressure inside the coupling and damage to the seals.
What is difference between torque converter and fluid coupling?
The Key Difference between Fluid Coupling and Torque Converter is that Fluid Coupling transmits power of engine to gearbox through the fluid whereas Torque Converter transmits power of engine to automatic transmission system through the fluid.
