How to Distinguish Between Dry and Wet DCT?
1 Answers
DCT refers to the Dual Clutch Transmission, which is called 'Dual Clutch Transmission' because it has two sets of clutches. According to the structure, it can be divided into dry type and wet type. The following are the methods to distinguish between dry and wet DCT: 1. Whether the clutch plates of the transmission are immersed in the transmission oil: the clutch plates of the dry dual clutch are not immersed in the transmission oil; the clutch plates of the wet dual clutch are immersed in the transmission oil. 2. The connection medium between the driving plate and the driven plate in the clutch is different: the connection medium of the dry dual clutch is air; the connection medium of the wet dual clutch is oil. 3. Different usage situations: generally, the dry type is used in a short-time semi-clutch state; the wet type is mostly used in automatic transmissions, such as the currently commonly used manual-automatic integrated transmission.
