What is transmission charging pump

Image
  A transmission charging pump is a component in a vehicle's transmission system that pumps fluid through the transmission to lubricate and cool the gears and other internal parts. It is typically driven by the transmission's output shaft and helps maintain the proper pressure and flow of transmission fluid. The inventor of the transmission charging pump is not specified, as the technology has been developed and improved upon over time by multiple individuals and companies. The first transmission charging pump was likely developed as part of the development of the first automobiles, which began in the late 19th century. It's important to note that the concept of the transmission charging pump may have been invented by multiple inventors at the same time or independently. USES OF TRANSMISSION CHARGING PUMP Transmission charging pumps are used in the automotive industry to increase the pressure in a vehicle's transmission system. This increased pressure helps to improve t...

What is torque converter

Image
  A torque converter is a fluid coupling device found in automatic transmission vehicles that transfers rotational power, or torque, from the engine to the transmission. It allows the engine to continue running at idle speed while the vehicle is stopped, and also smooths out power delivery during gear changes. The torque converter uses a turbine and impeller to transfer power, which are connected by a fluid. The turbine is connected to the engine, and the impeller is connected to the transmission. As the engine's torque increases, the turbine spins faster, causing the fluid to flow and transfer power to the impeller. This allows the transmission to engage smoothly, without the jerking or hesitation that would occur with a mechanical clutch. The torque converter was invented by Alfred H. Rzeppa in the early 1930s. Rzeppa, who was a transmission engineer at the Hydra-Matic Division of General Motors, developed the torque converter as a means of smoothly transferring power from an eng...

What is supercharger

Image
  A supercharger is a device that increases the pressure of air entering an internal combustion engine. This results in a higher density of air, allowing more fuel to be burned and increasing the engine's power output. Superchargers can be mechanical or electrical, and are commonly used in performance vehicles to increase horsepower and torque. Some vehicles come with a factory-installed supercharger, while others can be retrofitted with aftermarket superchargers. In 1849, G. Jones of Birmingham, England began manufacturing a   lobe pump   compressor to provide ventilation for coal mines. [14]   In 1860, the   Roots Blower Company   (founded by brothers Philander and Francis Marion Roots) in the United States patented the design for an air mover for use in   blast furnaces   and other industrial applications. This air mover and Birmingham's ventilation compressor both used designs similar to that of the later   Roots-type supercharger...
