What are the differences between dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions in engines?
1 Answers
The differences between dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions in engines are: 1. Different working environments for the clutch plates: The clutch plates of a dry dual-clutch transmission are not immersed in transmission oil, while those of a wet dual-clutch transmission are immersed in transmission oil. 2. Different working principles: The torque transmission in a dry dual-clutch is achieved through friction plates immersed in oil in the wet clutch, whereas a wet dual-clutch transmits torque through friction plates on the clutch driven disc. The structure of a dual-clutch transmission is very similar to that of a manual transmission, featuring two sets of clutches that are responsible for shifting between even and odd gears, significantly improving shifting speed.
