How to Determine Whether a Dual Clutch is Wet or Dry?
1 Answers
Determining whether a dual clutch is wet or dry depends on the connecting medium: the clutch plates of a wet dual clutch are immersed in transmission fluid, with the connecting medium being fluid; the clutch plates of a dry dual clutch directly contact the engine flywheel, with the connecting medium being air. A wet dual clutch refers to a multi-plate clutch where a large and a small clutch are coaxially installed together, while a dry dual clutch operates in a semi-clutch state without overheating. The dual clutch is located between the engine and the transmission, serving as the switch for power transmission between them, and is a transmission mechanism capable of transmitting and cutting off power.
