Abstract

See full text

A system for controlling a pump in a hydraulic circuit for an automatic transmission, having a viscosity insensitive fixed orifice and a relatively high resistance laminar orifice connected in series relationship between a vent port and a control pressure supplied to a secondary regulated pressure SRP valve. At relatively low temperature, flow through the laminar orifice is negligible; therefore, the steady-state differential pressure across the fixed orifice is negligible. At relatively higher temperatures, flow through the laminar orifice increases. A pressure divider is established and the feedback differential pressure is reduced in proportion to the hydraulic resistance of the two orifices. Flow to friction elements from a primary pump and auxiliary pump and return of fluid to the inlets of the pumps is controlled through a clutch capacity pressure regulator valve acting in cooperation with the SRP valve.
