Abstract:
1. A clutch arrangement for a drivetrain of a vehicle, comprising: a first friction surface; a second friction surface coupled to an output component of the clutch arrangement to be substantially fixed with respect to rotation relative to the output component, wherein the first friction surface and the second friction surface are configured and arranged to be brought into frictional engagement with each other to make a torque transmittable from the first friction surface to the second friction surface, and wherein the first friction surface and the second friction surface are further configured to be exposed to a fluid medium during an operation of the clutch arrangement; a pressing element configured to produce or sever the frictional engagement by causing a force along a force direction when actuated; a sealing element configured to separate a first volume in which the first friction surface and the second friction surface are arranged from a second volume, wherein the sealing element is arranged along a force direction between the pressing element and a housing of the clutch arrangement; and a conveying component in the first volume, wherein the conveying component is coupled with the housing to be substantially fixed with respect to rotation relative to the housing and is configured to cause a flow of the fluid medium during a rotation relative to the fluid medium.
