    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for controlling a lubricant flow rate in a wet clutch. The method comprising: determining a clutch state as an open state, a closed state or a slipping state; determining a clutch temperature and a sump lubricant temperature; based at least on the clutch state, the clutch temperature and the sump lubricant temperature, selecting one out of a plurality of maps, wherein each map maps one or more operating parameters of the clutch on a target lubricant flow rate; determining a target lubricant flow rate based on the one or more operating parameters according to the selected map; and controlling a lubricant flow control device based on the determined target lubricant flow rate.

    摘要: A clutch assembly includes a clutch housing, a clutch hub, a clutch pack and an oil deflector. The clutch pack includes at least one friction plate connected to one of the clutch housing and the clutch hub and at least one separator plate connected to the other of the clutch housing and the clutch hub. The oil deflector includes a circumferential wall and a flange. The circumferential wall includes a drain slot. The flange extends radially outwardly from an end of the circumferential wall and is mounted to one of the at least one separator plate and the at least one friction plate. The circumferential wall and the first flange cooperate to define a channel. Lubricant flowing along the clutch housing flows to the channel where the lubricant is directed away from the clutch pack and out of the drain slot.

    摘要: A hybrid module housing includes a bulkhead. The bulkhead has a first radial channel for providing a clutch apply pressure, a second radial channel for providing a clutch cooling flow, and a third radial channel for providing a motor cooling flow. In an example embodiment, the third radial channel is arranged to be on a bottom half of the hybrid module housing when the hybrid module housing is installed in a vehicle. In an example embodiment, the first radial channel and the second radial channel are open at a radially outer surface of the bulkhead, and the third radial channel is sealed at the radially outer surface of the bulkhead. In an example embodiment, the third radial channel includes an axial passage open at a radial wall of the bulkhead.
