ABSTRACT:
In a hydrodynamic brake, forming an energy converting mechanism and used for example in connection with heat-exchangers in the utilization of wind-power installations, the torque characteristic of the hydrodynamic brake is adapted to suit the torque characteristic of the power source by making the stator radially displaceable into a position in which its axis is off-center from the axis of the rotor. The stator is eccentrically secured on a shaft and by rotatably mounting the shaft, in the housing, eccentrically of the rotor. In an alternative embodiment, the stator is guided in a rectilinear guide permitting radial displacement.
