    摘要: A torque converter device and to a method for controlling a liquid circuit of a torque converter device. The torque converter device includes a housing arrangement and a hydrodynamic device arranged in the housing arrangement. The hydrodynamic device include an impeller wheel connected on the input side to a driveshaft via the housing arrangement, a turbine wheel connected to an output shaft, and a stator wheel. The wheels collectively form a circuit filled with a liquid, that can be supplied with liquid by an external supply device. The torque converter device is constructed such that it actuates at least one flow control element for controlling the flow of liquid for the torque converter device in the circuit actively and/or passively depending on a difference in speed between the impeller wheel and the turbine wheel of the hydrodynamic device.
