Difference between Wet Sump Lubrication System and Dry Sump Lubrication System:
Wet Sump Lubrication System:
- Wet sump lubrication system is used to supply the required lubricating oil to different parts of the engine to decrease the temperature of the engine parts.
- Wet sump lubrication system is installed in the engine which is placed below the crankcase.
- This type of method is used more than the dry sump type system.
- The lubricating oil used to recirculate from the wet sump and stores the oil in sump after the lubrication process.
- Installation cost is less.
- It is less complex to design.
- This type of system is used for low-speed vehicles compared to the dry sump system.
- This type of lubrication process is used for less weight vehicles.
Dry Sump Lubrication System:
- Dry sump lubrication system is used to supply the required lubrication oil to the engine parts.
- A dry sump lubrication system is placed out of the engine.
- The lubricating oil gets recirculated by entering into the dry sump.
- This oil is filtered for any impurities.
- This type of system is used in heavy weight vehicles.
- Installation cost is more.
- This type of process is a complex design.
- This is used for high speed vehicles.
- This type of system is used in limited vehicles.
