Patent AT-E401512-T1: [Translated] METHOD FOR TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT CONTROL OF A DISC CLUTCH

The invention relates to a method for temperature-dependant control of a multiple disc clutch in the drive train of a motor vehicle, comprising an input component, an output component and clutch discs for the transmission of torque between the two components. If a difference in the number of revolutions between the input component and the output component takes place, frictioning provoking heating of the coupling discs occurs. The inventive method includes the following steps: during operation at a first temperature T1 which is below a defined, permanently admissible temperature, the disc coupling is controlled depending on traction requirement; during operation between a first temperature T1 and a second higher temperature T2, the disc coupling is controlled in such a way that the frictioning applied is reduced; during operation above the first temperature T1, the second temperature T2 is set lower; if the second temperature T2 is surpassed, the disc coupling is controlled in such a way that the temperature specific to the clutch decreases.
