How is carbon deposit formed?
1 Answers
Here is a detailed introduction to the formation of carbon deposits: 1. Carbon deposits are residues produced by the incomplete combustion of fuel and lubricating oil blow-by gases (mainly composed of hydroxy acids, asphaltenes, tar, etc.). The formation of deposits is directly related to the vehicle's "fuel" and "lubricating oil". 2. If oil quality and driving habits are neglected for a long time, the wax and gum substances in gasoline will accumulate and thicken, hardening upon repeated heating to form carbon deposits. 3. If the engine experiences oil burning or if low-quality gasoline with many impurities is used, valve carbon deposits will be more severe and form faster. 4. Due to the control characteristics of fuel-injected engines, fuel is injected before ignition in each cylinder working cycle. When the engine is turned off, ignition is immediately cut off, but the fuel injected during the working cycle cannot be recovered. It adheres to the intake valves and combustion chamber walls, where gasoline easily evaporates, leaving behind wax and gum substances. Over time, these substances accumulate and thicken, hardening upon repeated heating to form carbon deposits.
