The hydraulic torque converter is located at the most significant end of the AT and is mounted on the engine flywheel, acting like a clutch with MT. It is a vane transmission with the liquid as the medium. When the hydraulic torque converter is working, the interaction between the active wheel blade and working liquid is used to realize the interconversion of mechanical energy and liquid energy (that is, the impeller continuously absorbs the power the internal combustion engine and transfers it to the turbine), and the transmitted torque is changed through the change of the liquid moment of momentum. With the ability to continuously change the speed and torque, it is a continuously variable transmission (CVT) most successfully used in the vehicles, fundamentally simplifies the manipulation; makes the vehicle start smoothly, accelerate quickly and gently with excellent vibration damping performance, thus prolonging the life of the powertrain and improving the ride comfort, average vehicle speed and driving safety; during stall, it has the maximum torque ratio, which prevents engine flame-out and more importantly, greatly improves the vehicle passability.
