Is the 14t transmission of the Tayron dry or wet?
1 Answers
The 14t transmission of the Tayron is a wet dual-clutch transmission, with the clutch located between the engine and the gearbox. Difference between dry and wet engines: The main difference between dry and wet clutches lies in the connection medium between the driving disc and the driven disc. Dry dual-clutch transmissions rely on air for transmission, while wet dual-clutch transmissions use oil. Wet dual-clutch transmissions must have a hydraulic pump, lubricating fluid, cooling pipes, and an external cooling system. Introduction to dry and wet engines: A wet dual-clutch refers to a dual-clutch system consisting of two sets of multi-plate clutches, one large and one small, mounted coaxially. They are housed in a sealed oil chamber filled with hydraulic oil, giving the wet clutch structure better adjustment capabilities and superior heat resistance, allowing it to transmit higher torque. The dry dual-clutch was developed based on the 6-speed DQ250 wet dual-clutch technology, simplifying the related hydraulic systems.
