Abstract:
The present invention relates to a gas-liquid separation device for separating from the operating fluid of a fluid coupling, air contained in the operating fluid.
A fluid coupling is provided with: an impeller (1) and a runner (2), which are arranged facing each other; a scoop tube (30) for increasing and decreasing the amount of operating fluid present within a fluid chamber (5) formed between the impeller (1) and the runner (2); an operating fluid circulation line (27) extending from the scoop tube (30) to the fluid chamber (5); and a gas-liquid separation device (28) connected to the operating fluid circulation line (27) and separating from the operating fluid, air having flowed into the scoop tube (30) together with operating fluid. The liquid-gas separation device (28) is a cyclone type gas-liquid separation device for swirling a mixed fluid composed of an operating fluid and air, thereby separating the air from the operating fluid.
