Abstract
An impeller, a turbine, and a stator form a torus of a torque converter. A elliptic ratio L/H of an axial length L of the torus to a radial height H of the torus is 0.72 or smaller. A diameter ratio (D/D) of an inner diameter Dof the torus to an outer diameter Dof the torus is 0.45 or greater. The impeller includes an impeller core, and an impeller axial length ratio (Lp/D) of an axial length Lp of the impeller core to the outer diameter Dof the torus is in a range between 0.030 to 0.045. The turbine includes a turbine core, and an turbine axial length ratio (Lt/D) of an axial length Lt of the turbine core to the outer diameter Dof the torus is in a range between 0.021 to 0.029.
