Running the air conditioner after turning off the engine is ineffective because the compressor has already shut down. Below is relevant information about car air conditioning: 1. Function: It adjusts and controls the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the car cabin to optimal conditions, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing travel fatigue, and creating favorable working conditions for the driver. It serves as a crucial ventilation device for ensuring safe driving. 2. Components: Modern air conditioning systems consist of a refrigeration system, heating system, ventilation and air purification devices, and a control system. 3. Configuration: The typical setup involves assembling components such as the evaporator, heater radiator, centrifugal blower, and control mechanism together, collectively referred to as the air conditioning unit assembly.

What is a car DSP?

Automotive DSP, whose full name is Digital Audio Processor, is a sound field processor. DSP is the abbreviation of Digital Signal Processing in English, which translates to: digital signal processing. The functions of automotive DSP are as follows: 1. DSP achieves frequency response control (such as treble and bass gain adjustment, implementing different schemes like pop, rock, blues, folk music, etc.), as well as special sound effects like enhanced surround stereo. DSP is a sound effect enhancement processor that performs certain modifications to audio signals. 2. The role of DSP is to improve sound quality. The vast majority of DSP amplifiers can support external audio sources, bypassing the original car stereo with poor sound quality. The quality of the external audio source depends on the quality of the external audio source itself.

What are the reasons for an automatic transmission car to roll back on a slope?

The reasons and situations for an automatic transmission car rolling back on a slope are as follows: 1. If you only engage the D gear without giving throttle when going uphill, the idle speed is insufficient, and it cannot drive the vehicle to start on the slope, leading to stalling. 2. Once the rolling back phenomenon occurs, it is difficult to avoid stalling. At this time, the engine is not only used to provide the mechanical energy for the vehicle to start but also needs to overcome the kinetic energy when rolling back downhill. 3. When rolling back occurs, you need to first press the brake and clutch, and restart after the car stops. 4. Any attempts to correct the situation during the rolling back process are basically useless. After releasing the pedal in an automatic transmission car, the power delay is about 1 second, and it is more obvious in dual-clutch transmission models. The power delay after releasing the brake in an automatic transmission will cause the vehicle to slide backward.

What is the insulation resistance standard for electric vehicles?

Under the maximum working voltage, the insulation resistance Ry1 of the DC circuit should not be less than 100Ω/V, and the AC circuit should not be less than 500Ω/V. This refers to the current flowing through the surface layer of insulating materials in the system. The larger the value, the worse the insulation performance of the system. Hazards of electrical insulation failure: If electrical insulation fails in the system, it can lead to progressive consequences depending on the severity. A single point of insulation failure may not have an immediate noticeable impact on the system; however, multiple points of insulation failure can cause leakage current to flow between these points, accumulating heat in nearby materials, which may lead to a fire under certain conditions. Method of external resistance measurement: A series of resistors is connected between the positive and negative poles. By controlling the switches in the circuit, voltage values across the resistors can be obtained in two states. By setting up circuit state equations and solving them simultaneously, the resistance values from the positive and negative poles of the power battery to the ground can be determined, assessing the insulation condition of the battery poles relative to the ground.

What are the advantages of a CVT continuously variable transmission?

CVT continuously variable transmission has the following advantages: 1. Without the transmission gears of a conventional automatic transmission, the gearshift shock disappears, and the power output of the CVT transmission is linear, making the actual driving experience smoother. 2. The transmission system of a CVT theoretically has an unlimited number of gears, allowing for more flexible gear settings. It is easier to achieve a balance between gear ratio, speed ratio, performance, fuel consumption, and exhaust emissions compared to traditional transmission systems. 3. The mechanical efficiency and fuel economy of a CVT transmission are superior to those of a conventional automatic transmission, second only to a manual transmission, resulting in better fuel economy.

What are the causes of abnormal noise in the UY125 engine?

The causes of abnormal engine noise include premature fuel injection, diesel leakage from the injector, piston impact on the cylinder wall, excessive piston ring side clearance, impact between the valve stem head and rocker arm, and engine misfiring, among others. The specific cause needs to be determined based on different noise conditions, as detailed below: Abnormal noise caused by rough engine operation, commonly known as "knocking sound." The phenomenon is characterized by strong noise at low speeds, which can be clearly heard from a distance of several meters away, accompanied by difficulty in starting. After the engine starts, it runs unevenly, and coolant consumption is rapid. This noise is caused by premature fuel injection and requires readjustment of the fuel injection timing. Engine noise has a certain pattern, sometimes knocking and sometimes backfiring, accompanied by unstable engine speed and intermittent black smoke emissions. This irregular noise is caused by diesel leakage from the injector. When this occurs, the injector should be serviced. The engine emits a "clunking" or "thumping" sound, which is particularly noticeable at low speeds or during sudden speed changes, accompanied by oil burning. This noise is caused by excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder wall, increasing piston impact on the cylinder wall during diesel engine operation. The solution is to replace the cylinder liner or piston. A "clinking" sound, like a small hammer lightly tapping an anvil, can be heard along the entire length of the cylinder block, becoming more pronounced during sudden speed changes. This is caused by excessive piston ring side clearance and requires replacing the piston rings, and sometimes the piston as well. A "clicking" or "tapping" sound around the cylinder head cover is quieter when the engine is warm and louder when cold, persisting even when fuel supply is stopped at low speeds. The main cause is excessive valve clearance, leading to impact between the valve stem head and rocker arm, which requires valve clearance adjustment. Exhaust gas flow from the car shows obvious intermittency, with significant exhaust pipe vibration, and clear engine noise can be heard. This is caused by engine misfiring.

What is the calculation method for horsepower value?

Horsepower is a unit of measurement for power, where one horsepower equals 0.735 kilowatts. Knowing the power allows for the conversion to horsepower, and the formula for calculating power is Power = Torque × RPM / 9549. The following explanations relate to horsepower: 1. Horsepower is a commonly used unit of measurement for power in engineering, proposed by James Watt. 2. One horsepower is approximately equal to 735 watts. It generally refers to metric horsepower rather than imperial horsepower. In China's legal measurement units, the unit for power is the watt. 3. Maximum horsepower is the same as maximum power, meaning the same thing but with different units. The unit for maximum horsepower is Ps (horsepower), while the unit for maximum power is kW (kilowatts). The conversion between the two is 1 horsepower ≍ 0.735 kilowatts, and 1 kilowatt ≍ 1.36 horsepower.
