Is the Dry Dual Clutch Unsuitable for Wading?
1 Answers
Dry dual-clutch transmissions are not suitable for wading because when the water level in the wading area exceeds the midline of the wheels, water can immediately enter the dual-clutch system, causing severe malfunctions. The function of the dry dual-clutch is to ensure smooth vehicle starting, reduce the impact load on the transmission gears during gear shifting, and prevent the drivetrain from overloading. It is a transmission mechanism that can both transmit and cut off power. The clutch plates of the dry dual-clutch directly contact the engine flywheel, with air serving as the connecting medium. The working principle of the dry dual-clutch is that one clutch corresponds to odd-numbered gears, while the other corresponds to even-numbered gears. When the vehicle engages one gear, the other clutch and the corresponding next gear are already in a ready state, allowing the next gear to engage immediately once the current gear is disengaged.
