ABSTRACT:
A viscous fluid type heat generator is provided with a case unit having a front case and a rear case and has an inner surface defining a heat generating chamber, a heat receiving chamber formed in at least one of the front case and the rear case so as to extend contiguously with the heat generating chamber to form a heat exchanging fluid passage through which a heat exchanging fluid is circulated, a drive shaft supported for rotation in a bearing on the front case, a rotor element mounted on the drive shaft for rotation together with the drive shaft in the heat generating chamber, a viscous fluid filling up a space between the inner surface of the case defining the heating chamber and the outer surface of the rotor for heat generation by the rotation of the rotor element, and a connecting unit for connecting the rotor element to the drive shaft so that the rotor element is unable to turn relative to the drive shaft but is able to incline to the axis of the drive shaft and to move axially on the drive shaft. The connecting unit may be a spline fitting, a one-flat fitting or a two-flat fitting.
