Getriebekühlung
Getriebekühlung refers to the systems and methods used to manage the temperature of a transmission in a vehicle or machinery. Transmissions, especially automatic transmissions, generate significant heat during operation due to friction between moving parts and the viscosity of the transmission fluid. Excessive heat can degrade the transmission fluid, leading to reduced lubrication, increased wear, and potential component failure.
Common Getriebekühlung systems involve circulating transmission fluid through a heat exchanger, often referred to as a
The cooling system may also include a thermostat to regulate fluid flow, ensuring optimal operating temperatures.
