To cool down with car air conditioning, follow these steps: 1. The blue button on the left side of the car represents cold air, the red one represents warm air, and the middle one represents moderate temperature. 2. When adjusting to cold air, turn the left button towards the blue area, and the middle button controls the fan speed. 3. The white line on the left is for temperature adjustment. Car air conditioning consists of a compressor, condenser, throttle element, evaporator, fan, and necessary control components, designed to regulate the temperature and humidity inside the car, providing a comfortable environment for passengers. The refrigerant continuously circulates within the system, with each cycle including four processes: compression, condensation, throttling, and evaporation.

As an automotive mechanical enthusiast, the process of car air conditioning cooling is actually quite fascinating. The refrigeration system only starts operating after the vehicle engine is turned on. The compressor activates to compress the refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas, which is then sent to the condenser located under the front grille to dissipate heat and turn into a liquid. The liquid refrigerant then passes through the expansion valve, where its pressure drops, and it evaporates in the evaporator, absorbing heat to cool the interior air. Finally, the fan blows out cold air to lower the temperature. The operation is simple: press the air conditioning button (usually marked with a snowflake symbol), rotate the temperature control to set your preferred cooling level, such as 22 degrees, and adjust the fan speed. If the air conditioning cooling effect is poor or fails to start, the issue might be due to refrigerant leakage requiring a refill, a dirty evaporator, or an electrical fault. It is recommended to clean the air conditioning filter and check the system pressure every six months to ensure efficient operation, so you won't have to worry about the heat during summer drives and can also save fuel.

After commuting by car for over a decade, my daily AC usage is extremely simple to achieve cooling. After starting the engine and ensuring the vehicle is running, I locate the AC control panel and press the A/C button to activate the system. I then set a lower temperature (e.g., below 20°C) using the rotary knob and turn the fan to medium or high speed to accelerate cold air flow. The compressor takes a few seconds to start delivering cool air as refrigerant circulation requires time. I often switch to recirculation mode for faster cooling by concentrating cold air, but switch to fresh air mode during long drives to prevent stuffiness. In summer heat, it's best to pre-cool the front seats to reduce cabin heat. During every maintenance, I remind technicians to check refrigerant levels and clean vent filters to prevent odors and maintain efficiency, which significantly helps prolong the AC system's lifespan.

How many questions are there in Subject 1, and what is the total score?

According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the Subject 1 test for the driving license consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If 11 questions are answered incorrectly during the test, the system will automatically submit the paper and end the exam. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test content includes theoretical foundations of driving, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and related knowledge. The test is conducted on a computer, with a time limit of 45 minutes. Subject 1 test content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; Road traffic conditions and regulations; Road traffic safety violations and penalties; Road traffic accident handling regulations; Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; Local regulations; Knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; Specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 test precautions: During the Subject 1 test, students should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the examination room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned seat and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, there is a retake opportunity on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it—unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not attend the retake or fail it, the current test session ends, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 allow only five attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests must be rescheduled at least ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test results remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge tests.

How to Repair Engine Block Deformation Caused by Overheating?

If the engine block is deformed, it can only be replaced. The following introduces the repair method for engine block cracks: 1. Use coarse sandpaper to remove rust around the crack on the engine block. When sanding to a certain extent, the end of the crack can be located. 2. Then, directly perform welding with a patch plate. However, be cautious of warping at the welded area. If warping occurs, immediately hammer the welded area while it's still hot to prevent residual slag. 3. After patching, place an asbestos gasket between the patch plate and the engine block (or cylinder head), and apply a layer of lubricating oil on both sides.

What does the check light mean?

check light is the engine fault light, which indicates that there is a problem with the engine when it illuminates. Here are some introductions about car fault lights: 1. There are many indicator lights on a car, such as the engine self-check indicator, oil pressure indicator, handbrake indicator, and coolant temperature indicator, each representing different meanings. Generally, when a red light comes on, you should be extra vigilant, contact professionals for solutions, and avoid continuing to drive. 2. If a problem occurs, promptly go to a 4S shop for vehicle inspection and repair to avoid risks and ensure personal safety on the road.

Can You Die from Sleeping in a Car with the Windows Closed?

Sleeping in a car with the windows closed can indeed be fatal. Here are the reasons: 1. In a sealed vehicle, the oxygen supply is limited. As a person sleeps, they continuously consume oxygen without fresh air replenishment, leading to hypoxia, suffocation, and potentially death. Additionally, most car interiors are made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) derived from petroleum, and the adhesives used contain formaldehyde. In an enclosed space, occupants are prone to dizziness. 2. If the air conditioning is running, the car produces significant amounts of carbon monoxide. The concentration of carbon monoxide increases over time, exceeding safe levels within approximately 20 minutes, causing noticeable suffocation symptoms.

How to Repair a Blocked Expansion Valve?

Here are the methods to repair a blocked expansion valve: 1. For dirt blockage, if it is not very severe, replacing a dry filter is sufficient; if it is very severe, it is necessary to clean the impurities in the system pipeline again, vacuum, and recharge the refrigerant. 2. For slight ice blockage, you can apply a hot towel to the ice blockage area; if the ice blockage is more severe and has affected the normal operation of the system, it is necessary to clean the moisture in the system pipeline again, vacuum, and recharge the refrigerant. 3. Expansion: The main cause of dirt blockage is the presence of impurities in the system, such as welding slag, copper chips, iron chips, fibers, etc. The cause of ice blockage is excessive moisture in the system.
