Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A viscous clutch includes an input member rotatable about an axis of rotation, an output member selectively rotatable about the axis of rotation, a working chamber bounded by the input member and the output member, a reservoir, a release bore that fluidically connects the reservoir to the working chamber, a leading wiper that extends into the working chamber, a leading pump bore positioned adjacent to the leading wiper that fluidically connects the working chamber to the reservoir, a trailing wiper that extends into the working chamber, and a trailing pump bore positioned adjacent to the trailing wiper and downstream of the leading pump bore that fluidically connects the working chamber to the reservoir. The trailing wiper has a width that is greater than a width of the leading wiper.
