Power and horsepower conversion method: 1 horsepower = 746 watts = 0.746 kilowatts. Below is the related introduction of power and horsepower: 1. Power and horsepower represent the same concept, both referring to the "force" generated by the engine, but they are expressed in different units. 2. The unit of maximum power is "kilowatt" (kW), which measures the amount of energy an engine can produce. Driving a car requires energy. Theoretically, for completely identical cars, the faster you want to go, the more energy is needed. Therefore, power determines the total energy output of an engine, and in most cases, it can be understood that maximum power determines the top speed. 3. There is another unit for power, which is horsepower, measured in "horsepower" (PS). The conversion between them is: 1 kW = 1.36 PS. When people often talk about how many horsepower, they are referring to power. Kilowatts (kW) and horsepower can be converted, not power and horsepower, because kilowatt is the unit of power.

How long does a car need to be parked before starting it?

You should start the car if it has been parked for half a month. Here’s some related information about starting the car: Function of the starting system: The starter converts the electrical energy from the battery into mechanical energy to start the engine. The starting system is designed to transition a stationary engine into an operational state. An external force must first rotate the engine crankshaft, initiating the up-and-down movement of the pistons, allowing the cylinders to draw in the combustible air-fuel mixture before proceeding to the subsequent working cycles. Effects of not starting the car for a long time: When a car remains inactive for an extended period, most of the lubricating oil adhering to the components that require lubrication will flow back to the oil pan due to gravity. This reduces the lubrication effect on moving parts. Without the protective oil film, metal is prone to react with oxygen, forming an oxide layer, which increases friction and makes starting the engine difficult.

Passenger Liability Insurance: Passengers are often present in the vehicle, and this insurance ensures compensation from the insurance company in case of an accident. 3.

What is the normal temperature for car coolant?

Car coolant temperature is normal between 80 to 90 degrees Celsius. Coolant Temperature: Coolant temperature refers to the temperature of the antifreeze. Inside the engine, besides the oil passages, there are also antifreeze passages. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, and its important functions are to cool and lower the engine temperature, as well as to prevent freezing in winter. Precautions: When the coolant temperature reaches 90 degrees, it indicates that the engine's heat generation has stabilized. Both excessively high and low coolant temperatures can damage the engine. Low temperatures are not conducive to engine lubrication, while high temperatures can lead to engine self-ignition. During daily driving, pay attention to the coolant temperature indicator on the dashboard. If the red light comes on, do not continue driving. It is recommended that the driver pull over to let the engine cool down.
