What is the Difference Between Wet Clutch and Dry Clutch?
1 Answers
Here are the differences between dry dual-clutch and wet dual-clutch: 1. Different heat dissipation: Dry dual-clutch uses air cooling for heat dissipation, relying on wind to drive away heat; Wet dual-clutch is immersed in oil, resulting in higher heat dissipation efficiency. 2. Different methods: Dry clutch is a manual transmission friction plate clutch, with high mechanical transmission efficiency, relatively complex operation, and high failure rate; Wet clutch is an automatic transmission oil-immersed friction plate clutch, with low mechanical transmission efficiency, easy operation, and low failure rate. Additional information: Dual-clutch transmissions are not suitable for frequent starts, prolonged low-speed driving, or stop-and-go traffic, as they are prone to overheating, leading to malfunctions. Once the vehicle computer issues a warning, it is necessary to stop immediately and cool down the transmission.
