A heating method and apparatus for vehicles. A viscous fluid type heater is located in a vehicle fluid circuit. The heater has a heating chamber that holds viscous fluid and a rotor. The rotor rotates to shear the viscous fluid and produce heat. The heat is transmitted to a heat exchange chamber located adjacent to the heating chamber. The rotor rotates at variable rotation velocity, which affects the temperature of the viscous fluid. Circulating fluid in the fluid circuit and is heated in the heat exchange chamber. The heater includes a reservoir chamber communicating with the heating chamber to store viscous fluid. The heater has a valve that selectively connects and disconnects the reservoir chamber with the heating chamber to regulate heat production. The apparatus has a detecting device for detecting a temperature or a speed that is indicative of the temperature of the viscous fluid. The apparatus also has a controller for controlling the valve to reduce heat production when the temperature of the viscous fluid is deemed to be high.

Appareil de chauffage et méthode connexe pour véhicules. Un appareil de chauffage pour fluide est monté dans le circuit de fluide d'un véhicule. L'appareil de chauffage comporte une chambre de chauffe qui retient le fluide ainsi qu'une roue. En tournant, la roue provoque le cisaillement du fluide visqueux et produit de la chaleur. La chaleur est communiquée à un échangeur thermique se trouvant à côté de la chambre de chauffe. La vitesse de rotation de la roue est variable, ce qui modifie la température du fluide visqueux, qui circule dans le circuit et est réchauffé dans l'échangeur thermique. L'appareil de chauffage comprend un réservoir qui est relié à la chambre de chauffe et sert à stocker le fluide visqueux. L'appareil de chauffage comprend un robinet qui, selon les besoins, établit ou coupe la communication entre le réservoir et la chambre de chauffe afin de réguler la production de chaleur. L'appareil comporte un capteur de température ou de vitesse et qui sert à indiquer la température du fluide visqueux. L'appareil comporte également un contrôleur qui agit sur le robinet et sert à réduire la production de chaleur lorsque la température du fluide est trop élevée.
