BMW 330 brakes are single-piston. Function of Brake Pistons: Brake pistons are the brake calipers. The more pistons a caliper has, the greater, more stable, and smoother the braking force. Working Principle of Brake Pistons: The working principle is that when the driver presses the brake pedal, pressure is applied to the brake fluid in the master cylinder. The fluid transmits this pressure through the lines to the pistons in each wheel's brake caliper. The pistons then drive the calipers to clamp the brake disc, generating significant friction to slow the vehicle. This component is usually located on the driver's side near the engine compartment firewall. Because the braking system utilizes "Pascal's Law," even a small force from the master cylinder can provide sufficient braking power.

What does the inspection of a C1 driver's license mean?

It means verifying the validity period of the driver's license. Below are the relevant details: 1. New regulations for C1 driver's license annual inspection: The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the driver's license is initially issued. According to the regulations, China has abolished the regular inspection system for C1 driver's license holders. Holders of a C-class license do not need to undergo an annual inspection, but they must renew their license upon expiration. 2. Legal basis: Article 43 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 139).

What happens if too much refrigerant is added to a car's air conditioning system?

Adding too much refrigerant to a car's air conditioning system will increase the pressure in the system. When the air conditioning control system detects excessive pressure, it will frequently cut off the compressor's operation, resulting in poor cooling performance. Additionally, the consistently high pressure in the AC lines may cause damage to the system's components. The principle of air conditioning involves compressing gas into liquid and then converting the liquid back into gas. The process of liquid converting to gas absorbs heat energy, thereby releasing cool air. If there is too much refrigerant, it occupies the space needed for the gas conversion, preventing the liquid from fully transforming into gas, which leads to reduced cooling efficiency. Typically, there is a receiver-drier in the system where you can observe the refrigerant level—excessive bubbles indicate insufficient refrigerant. However, most people don't check this; instead, they can usually tell if refrigerant is low by feeling the airflow at the vents. Refrigerant is usually only added when the cooling performance noticeably declines.
