A motor vehicle drive train including a hydrodynamic retarder (1) that comprises a revolving bladed impeller (10) and a stationary or counter-rotating bladed turbine (11) which jointly form a working chamber (12) that can be filled with a working medium to switch on the retarder (1) is disclosed. The hydrodynamic retarder (1) can be mechanically disengaged from the drive train by a disconnect clutch (2). A fill level monitoring device (14) can detect the current fill level of the working medium in the working chamber (12), while a disconnect clutch-blocking device (9) is effectively connected in a communicating or mechanical manner to the fill level monitoring device (14) and prevents the disconnect clutch (2) from engaging in accordance with the detected fill level.

The invention relates to a hydrodynamic retarder comprising a rotor that revolves in a decelerating mode and a counter-rotating twin rotor or a stationary stator which jointly from a working chamber that is or can be filled with a working medium. The rotor can be driven using driving power via a drive train in order to decelerate the drive train. The invention is characterized in that an energy storage device is associated with or integrated into the retarder, said energy storage device comprising a mechanical energy store, pressure accumulator or kinetic energy store as well as an acceleration mechanism that is connected to the rotor, said acceleration mechanism being linked to the energy store and the rotor or being integrated into the rotor in order to convert energy stored in the energy store into an angular acceleration of the rotor.

The invention concerns a method for controlling a hydrodynamic retarder which can be disengaged mechanically via a separating clutch in a motor vehicle, which comprises a rotating bladed rotor and a bladed stator or a rotating bladed rotor and a bladed counter-rotor rotating in opposite direction thereto, which together form a working chamber filled with working medium in braking operation and emptied of working medium in non-braking operation, wherein the rotor is driven in braking operation via a drive train with a closed separating clutch and the working chamber is emptied when passing from the braking operation to the non-braking operation, wherein the transition from the braking operation to the non-braking operation is initiated via a retarder switch-off request of a driver assistance system or via actuation of an input device by the vehicle driver.The invention is characterised in that after determining the presence of a retarder switch-off request the separating clutch is kept closed for a preset time span and the working chamber of the retarder is emptied of the working medium by continuous actuation of the rotor and interruption of infeed of working medium into the working chamber, wherein the preset time span is varied according to at least one of the following parameters or at least one parameter correlated with one of the parameters and/or after determining the retarder switch-off request: the rotational speed of the rotor; an output pressure, against which the working medium is emptied from the working chamber; the filling level of the working chamber with working medium; the temperature of the working medium; the braking torque of the hydrodynamic retarder.

There is provided a method for controlling a hydrodynamic retarder. The method includes determining a presence of a retarder switch-off request, and keeping a separating clutch closed, after the determining, for a preset time span and emptying a working chamber of the hydrodynamic retarder of a working medium by continuous actuation of a rotating bladed rotor and interruption of infeed of the working medium into the working chamber. The method further included varying the preset time span according to at least one of the following parameters or at least one parameter correlated with one of the following parameters: a rotational speed of the rotating bladed rotor, an output pressure, against which the working medium is emptied from the working chamber, a filling level of the working chamber with the working medium, a temperature of the working medium, and a braking torque of the hydrodynamic retarder.
