Abstract

The invention concerns a hydrodynamic retarder The invention is characterised in that the control device when closing the separating clutch detects the run-up behaviour of the secondary side of the separating clutch and/or of the rotor via at least one associated sensor or defines the run-up behaviour from at least one input value supplied thereto and according to the run-up behaviour initiates either the continuous closing of the separating clutch for slip bridging between the primary side and the secondary side for accelerating the rotor or the interruption of the closing process of the separating clutch.
