ABSTRACT:
A wet clutch has a fluid circulation system which includes a collector chamber arranged to collect fluid impelled by rotating parts of the clutch and to convert the kinetic energy of such fluid into a static pressure head, under the influence of which the fluid flows through a duct to be distributed throughout the clutch assembly. The duct may communicate with an annular passage arranged to discharge fluid into an annular groove provided on the driving plate of the clutch. The clutch may have two sections for coupling a common input shaft to output shafts, in which case a directing means may provide for direction of the fluid to both sections of the clutch.
