When the engine power is 115kw, it is 156.4 horsepower. 1kw=1.36 horsepower, so 115kw=1.36X115=156.4 horsepower. 115kw is the power, which is an indicator of the engine's dynamic characteristics, usually the rated power of the engine, while the net power will be slightly lower. 1 horsepower=735 watts; 1000 watts=1000 divided by 735 horsepower=1.36 horsepower. 1 horsepower equals the work of 75 kilogram-force multiplied by meters completed in 1 second, also equal to 0.735 kilowatts, or metric horsepower. 1 imperial horsepower equals 550 foot-pounds per second, equal to 76 kilogram-force meters per second, or 0.746 kilowatts. In China's legal measurement units, the unit of power is the watt. Power: Power refers to the amount of work done by an object per unit time, that is, power is a physical quantity that describes how fast work is done. Horsepower: Horsepower is a unit for measuring the performance of a car engine, and it is also an important parameter for measuring the performance of a car. Simply put, the greater the horsepower, the more energy the engine can release in the same amount of time. Power and horsepower both refer to the force generated by the engine, just in different units, both measuring how much energy an engine can produce. The following is a detailed explanation: The higher the power of the engine, the stronger its performance, but the higher the fuel consumption. Power is related to speed and torque. The higher the speed of the engine, the higher the power, and the greater the torque of the engine, the higher the power. An engine with higher speed does more work per unit time, and an engine with greater torque can output a larger moment per work cycle. To increase the power of the engine, simply increase the speed and torque. Horsepower, power, and torque are all important and indispensable. Power is horsepower, and horsepower is power, but they are different units that can be converted into each other. Normally, power is expressed in KW, horsepower in PS, and torque in N·m. When people say how many horsepower a car has, they are actually talking about how much power the car has. The greater the power of the car, the greater the horsepower, and the faster the speed. Torque is the force of the engine, which can be simply understood as: the amount of force the engine can generate in one rotation. The maximum torque represents the maximum force the engine can generate. The greater the force, the faster the acceleration and the easier it is to climb hills. In addition, another important indicator of a car is torque, which represents how much force the engine has, thereby determining the force with which the wheels drive the vehicle. Power determines how fast a car can go, while torque determines how quickly a car can accelerate. If a car is compared to a person running, horsepower (power) represents the person's top speed, and torque represents the person's explosive force. For the exact same car, the faster you want to go, the more energy you need, so power determines the total energy an engine can output. In most cases, it can be understood that the maximum power determines the car's top speed.

What are the black strips on both sides of the roof called?

The advantages of roof boxes: 1. A roof box can be said to integrate a roof basket, roof cargo net, straps, and a rain cover (rainproof cloth and tarpaulin) into one roof-mounted equipment. It can be said that purchasing a roof box is a one-step solution without the need for other accessories. 2. The wind resistance and noise of a roof box are far less than those of a roof basket or other mounted equipment. A roof basket or soft roof bag with other irregularly shaped equipment mounted on the rear creates high wind resistance and noise. Roof boxes, on the other hand, adopt a streamlined design. 3. The anti-theft performance of roof boxes is much higher than other mounted equipment. Roof boxes generally come standard with locks, and some upgraded roof boxes are made of ABS+ASA/PMMA material, which cannot be easily cut by ordinary tools. 4. The capacity of roof boxes usually ranges between 300L-550L, allowing for selection based on personal needs, and the fixing method is particularly simple. 5. Roof boxes can serve as a decorative effect when installed on any car, which is one of the reasons why many modification enthusiasts like them. In short, the advantages of roof boxes are simplicity (easy to fix and mount), practicality (sufficient capacity and strong anti-theft performance), and aesthetics (beautiful installation effect).

What Causes Diesel Engine Power Loss and Black Smoke?

It is mostly caused by incomplete combustion due to uneven or excessive fuel supply to each cylinder, insufficient air intake, poor atomization, or premature injection timing. Under high-temperature and oxygen-deficient conditions in the combustion chamber, incompletely burned diesel fuel decomposes and polymerizes to form carbon soot. This carbon soot is not pure carbon but rather tiny polymer particles. These solid carbon particles react much slower than vaporized fuel, resulting in unburned black smoke being emitted. Therefore, it is essential to perform regular maintenance on the vehicle. Below is an introduction to car maintenance: 1. Introduction to Car Maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as vehicle servicing. 2. Scope of Car Maintenance: Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and other related components. 3. Purpose of Car Maintenance: The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent malfunctions, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.

What's the reason for the car not accelerating while driving?

The reasons why a car cannot accelerate while driving: 1. Low fuel pressure or air in the fuel line, poor signal from the air flow meter in the circuit, poor signal from the throttle position sensor, damaged ignition coil, delayed ignition timing, or incorrect spark plug gap (either too large or too small) can all cause the car to fail to accelerate when stepping on the gas pedal. In addition, a clogged three-way catalytic converter could also lead to this condition. Moreover, if the engine speed rises normally but the engine noise is loud, it might be in a neutral idling state without being in gear, requiring inspection of the transmission. 2. Poor quality fuel used by the owner can affect the gasoline filter and fuel line, possibly leading to poor fuel supply and thus failure to accelerate. It can also impact the lifespan of the exhaust system's three-way catalytic converter. If the three-way catalytic converter is clogged, it will directly affect the vehicle's acceleration performance and also lead to increased fuel consumption.

Can You Drive in Sandals?

Requirements for driving footwear: 1. You can drive in sandals, but sandals come in various types, among which high-heeled sandals are not suitable for driving. According to relevant regulations, motor vehicle drivers are not allowed to drive barefoot, in slippers, or in high heels. 2. In addition, snow boots, thick-soled sports shoes, platform shoes, and Crocs are also not suitable for driving. These types of shoes restrict joint movement due to the coverage of the legs and ankles, reducing sensitivity and increasing the risk of rear-end collisions due to delayed braking. 3. Slippers are not allowed because they do not stay securely on the feet and can easily slip off, leading to brake slippage in emergency situations. Moreover, driving in slippers can cause inaccuracies in controlling the clutch and accelerator, posing significant safety hazards. For the safety of yourself and others, avoid wearing footwear that compromises driving safety.

How Serious Is the Problem of Cockroaches in the Car?

Cockroach Removal Methods: 1. Cockroach Spray: Spray cockroach spray, also known as insecticide, into the corners of the car. After spraying, close the car windows and wait for a day to kill the cockroaches. However, this method is not long-lasting, and chemical products can be somewhat harmful to the human body. Note: After using the spray, ensure proper ventilation before entering the car, and clean up the dead cockroaches. 2. Cockroach Bait or Gel: Place some cockroach bait or gel in areas where cockroaches might appear, such as door gaps, under seats, or in the trunk, to serve as a lure. Be cautious to prevent children from touching or ingesting it. 3. Soapy Water: If you spot a cockroach, you can directly spray hot soapy water on it, although this requires face-to-face contact. Hot soapy water can effectively repel and kill cockroaches.

Does driving through deep water affect the car?

Suggestions for driving through deep water: 1. If the car stalls while wading through water, never attempt to restart the engine. Even if you try, it will be difficult or impossible to start, which can cause damage to the engine or even lead to severe engine failure. Therefore, after stalling, stay calm and immediately turn off the ignition switch. Do not attempt to restart the engine and send the car to a repair shop promptly to avoid greater losses. 2. If the water is deep, be sure to conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle afterward, including electrical components, the air filter, and the chassis. If necessary, completely replace the engine oil and transmission fluid, as the engine oil pan and transmission have some air holes, making it hard to tell if water has entered. If water has mixed in, it can easily deteriorate. 3. Driving through water carries certain risks. If the depth of the water is not accurately judged, and the water is deep, there may be no immediate impact, but once water flows into the air intake, it can cause the engine to stall. Therefore, before driving through water, keep a few points in mind. First, go slow—"speed through sand, slow through water." Whether it's a manual or automatic transmission, shift to the lowest gear during the process. This not only helps control speed but also utilizes the engine's maximum torque to smoothly overcome any obstacles and pass through the waterlogged section.
