Abstract
A high-speed hydrodynamic adjustable converter having a working chamber for forming a hydrodynamic working medium circuit wherein a pump wheel, a turbine wheel and a guide wheel are positioned in the working chamber. The working medium flows through the pump wheel centrifugally or centrifugally-diagonally; and the working medium flows through the turbine wheel centripetally or centripetally-diagonally. The inlet grate edge of the turbine wheel, with respect to an axis of rotation of the pump wheel and the turbine wheel, is positioned on a smaller or equal radius than an inlet grate edge of the pump wheel. The hydrodynamic converter has a first guide wheel in the working chamber before the pump wheel viewed in the direction of flow of the working medium, the guide wheel being arranged for purely centrifugal or diagonal-centrifugal throughflow of the working medium and is used to influence the power transmission.
