How Many Types of Automotive Air Flow Sensors Are There?

1 Answers

Automotive air flow sensors can be categorized into the following types: flap-type air flow sensors, Karman vortex air flow sensors, and temperature-pressure compensated air flow sensors. Below is an introduction to these sensors: 1. Flap-type air flow sensor: Installed between the air filter and the throttle in gasoline engines, its function is to detect the engine's intake air volume, convert the detection results into electrical signals, and then input them into the microcomputer. This sensor consists of two parts: an air flow meter and a potentiometer. 2. Karman vortex air flow sensor: To overcome the shortcomings of the flap-type air flow sensor—such as expanding the measurement range while ensuring measurement accuracy and eliminating sliding contacts—a compact and lightweight air flow sensor was developed, known as the Karman vortex air flow sensor.

Does carrying children count as overloading in a car?

According to the rules of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, overloading is calculated based on the number of people. As long as the number exceeds the limit, even if it's a child, it is considered overloading. The penalties for overloading are as follows: 1. According to Article 92 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, if a passenger vehicle carries more passengers than the allowed number, a fine ranging from 200 to 500 yuan will be imposed. 2. If the number of passengers exceeds 20% of the allowed limit or if goods are carried in violation of regulations, a fine ranging from 500 to 2,000 yuan will be imposed. 3. If a cargo vehicle exceeds the approved load capacity, a fine ranging from 200 to 500 yuan will be imposed. 4. For violations mentioned in the first two clauses, the traffic management department of the public security organ will detain the vehicle until the illegal status is rectified.

What is the function of the central locking system?

The function of the central locking system is to remotely open and lock doors without inserting the key into the keyhole. It consists of a door lock switch, an actuator, and a controller. The full name of the central locking system is central control door lock, which is an automotive component. The actuator of the central locking system is used to execute the driver's commands, either locking or unlocking the door. There are three types of driving mechanisms for door lock actuators: electromagnetic, DC motor, and permanent magnet motor. Most central locking switches consist of a master switch and sub-switches. The master switch is installed on the driver's side door, allowing the driver to lock or unlock all doors of the vehicle. Sub-switches are installed on other doors and can individually control a single door.

Can National V and National VI gasoline be mixed for use?

National V and National VI gasoline cannot be mixed for use. Car owners can naturally transition between them, but when selecting fuel, it is necessary to choose according to the engine's compression ratio and refer to the recommendations in the user manual for fuel addition. Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from petroleum through fractionation, cracking, or pyrolysis, and it can be used as fuel. The important characteristics of gasoline include volatility, stability, anti-knock properties, corrosiveness, and cleanliness. It is one of the most widely used light petroleum products and an important fuel for engines. In China, automotive gasoline comes in two types: leaded and unleaded, with their grades classified according to the Research Octane Number (RON). The number in the gasoline grade represents the octane rating.

Do I Need to Change Transmission Fluid at 60,000 Kilometers?

You do not need to change the transmission fluid at 60,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid is typically changed every 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid plays a crucial role in automatic transmissions by transferring power, providing lubrication, and dissipating heat. Therefore, it is very important for the automatic transmission. If the transmission fluid is not changed for an extended period, it may lead to clogged oil passages or damage to the valve body. Methods for changing transmission fluid: 1. Gravity Drain Method: This method is simple to perform but can only remove about 60% to 70% of the old transmission fluid, making it less thorough. 2. Flush Machine Method: This method can remove over 90% of the old transmission fluid, resulting in a cleaner and more complete change. However, the flush machine method is more complex and requires a larger amount of new transmission fluid.

How are car audio systems classified?

Car audio systems can be classified in several ways: 1. By the time of vehicle production, they can be divided into original equipment and aftermarket products; 2. By the regional origin of the brand, they can be categorized into Japanese brands and European/American brands; 3. By the manufacturer's specialization, they can be classified into dedicated car audio manufacturers and diversified manufacturers that produce both car audio and other home appliances. A car audio system consists of five main components: antenna, receiver, speaker correction, audible frequency amplification, and speaker system. The antenna receives radio waves from broadcasting stations and transmits them to the radio tuner via high-frequency cables. The receiver selectively picks up high-frequency electromagnetic waves from radio stations and demodulates them into audio electrical signals. The speaker is the crucial component that ultimately determines the sound performance inside the vehicle cabin.
