Does idling for 12 hours harm the car?
1 Answers
Idling for 12 hours does harm the car. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Environmental pollution: During idling operation, due to incomplete combustion in the cylinders, the exhaust contains a large amount of harmful components such as hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides. These harmful components enter the atmosphere and pollute the ecological environment. 2. Prone to carbon deposits: During idling, the vortex of intake air is weak, and the fuel combustion is incomplete, making it easy to form carbon deposits. Additionally, when the coolant temperature drops below 60°C, the combustion products in the cylinders may undergo chemical reactions with water, forming acids that increase the corrosion level of the cylinders.
