Can High RPM Clean Carbon Deposits?
1 Answers
No. The causes of carbon deposits are explained as follows: 1. Formation of carbon deposits: Carbon deposits are residues produced after the mixed combustion of fuel and lubricating substances. These materials cannot be consumed by flames during the combustion process, hence the remaining substances; their main components are: hydroxy acids, asphaltenes, tar, etc. This is mainly due to incomplete combustion of the fuel-air mixture and poor combustion efficiency during the combustion process, leading to significant material precipitation. 2. Prolonged idling: If the engine idles for a long time or frequently stops and starts, the time it takes for the engine to reach normal operating temperature increases. This causes gasoline sprayed behind the intake valves to atomize more slowly, and the air flow entering the engine also becomes relatively smaller. Under these driving conditions, the "scouring effect" on valve carbon deposits weakens, promoting the deposition of carbon. 3. Evolution of lubricating substances: Since all engine components require lubrication, besides the engine oil itself, even the lubricating substances contained in the fuel can contribute to carbon deposit formation during combustion.
