Methods for charging a plug-in hybrid at home: Use the included portable charging gun, plug it into a standard household 220V single-phase three-pin AC socket for charging, and ensure the socket is waterproof. Below is an introduction to plug-in hybrid vehicles: 1. Definition: Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles, abbreviated as PHEV, are a new type of hybrid electric vehicle. Different from traditional gasoline-powered and electric-driven hybrids, the driving principle and unit of plug-in hybrids are the same as those of electric vehicles, with the only difference being the presence of an engine on the vehicle. 2. Advantages: Plug-in hybrid models effectively address the range limitations of pure electric vehicles and combine traditional power systems with pure electric power systems. When used as a pure electric vehicle, as long as the single use does not exceed the battery's provided range, zero emissions and zero fuel consumption can be achieved.

Is it necessary to turn off the air conditioning when parking?

It is necessary to turn off the air conditioning when parking. Otherwise, it will slightly affect the evaporator. If the air conditioning is not turned off in advance, water will remain on the evaporator. The evaporator is enclosed in a sealed box, making it difficult for the water to evaporate naturally, requiring a long time. Due to the dark and humid environment, mold can grow over time, leading to unpleasant odors and even affecting health. Additional information: Not turning off the air conditioning has no impact on the engine. This is because the compressor does not rotate during startup, so it does not add unnecessary load to the starter. When the vehicle starts, almost all electrical appliances are in a power-off state, with all current and voltage concentrated on the starter. The air conditioning panel also has no power, so the compressor naturally does not start. After the vehicle starts, the compressor will begin working in about three to five seconds. For compressors with an electromagnetic clutch, you can hear a clicking sound, which is the sound of the compressor engaging.

Why is white smoke coming from the exhaust of a diesel vehicle?

White smoke occurs when the high-temperature exhaust gases from the tailpipe cause water vapor to condense into tiny water droplets. If the smoke is excessive, it may indicate damage to one of the engine's pistons, leading to oil burning. The thick white color in the exhaust is naturally due to a high water content in the exhaust gases. There are two main causes for this phenomenon: 1. Excessive water content in the gasoline; 2. Damage to the sealing gasket of the water channel or cylinder liner, allowing coolant to enter the cylinder. High-temperature gases from the cylinder can then leak into the oil pan, contaminating and thinning the engine oil, which affects lubrication performance. The hazards of this issue are obvious. Therefore, when adding engine oil, it is essential to follow the recommended quantity.

What is the length of a concrete pump truck?

The body length of concrete pump trucks varies depending on different brands and types. There are 7 common specifications for pump truck lengths: 21 meters, 24 meters, 28 meters, 30 meters, 33 meters, 38 meters, 35 meters, and 37 meters. Initially, domestically produced boom-type concrete pump trucks mostly had 37-meter booms, but in recent years there has been a trend toward longer boom lengths. Additional information: Pump trucks use large-diameter, long-stroke conveying cylinders to increase suction area and reduce the number of directional changes per unit time, thereby decreasing wear on components such as conveying cylinders, concrete pistons, wear plates, and cutting rings, which directly extends their service life. Maintenance methods for pump trucks should follow the requirements and procedures specified in the maintenance manual. During daily use, inspect relevant pump truck components before and after operation. Refer to the lubrication chart in the operation and maintenance manual to ensure timely and adequate lubrication of all pump truck components.
