Compare dry clutch & wet clutch on basis of

1 Answer

Answer :

Parameter
Dry Clutch
Wet Clutch
Construction
When the clutch is operated dry i.e. without oil, it is called as a dry clutch.
When the clutch is operated in an oil bath, it is called as wet clutch. In this, clutch plates are always wetted by oil circula
Torque
Torque transmission capacity is higher.
Torque transmission capacity is lower (35-50% of dry clutch), since the clutch plates are wetted by oil
Heat Transmission Or heat dissipation
due to metal and air contact heat dissipation is fair
Due to metal and oil contact heat dissipation is much better.
Application
Single plate dry clutch is used in light motor vehicles for e.g. Jeep, Car, Bus, Truck etc.
Multi-plate clutch is used in motor cycles, racing cars, heavy duty vehicles.
