Activated carbon is internationally recognized as an excellent absorber of toxic substances, capable of adsorbing harmful gases such as formaldehyde and benzene. Photocatalyst is a high-quality product for removing formaldehyde, which can decompose harmful substances like formaldehyde in the air into carbon dioxide and water.

The most annoying thing about a brand-new car is that strong formaldehyde smell! From my experience, focus on ventilation for the first two months: lower all four windows slightly and tilt the sunroof for airflow before heading to work—do the same even in underground parking. Sun exposure works best—drive to an open area on weekends, open all doors and windows, and let it bake under 37°C heat for three hours; it’s equivalent to a week’s worth of ventilation. Don’t skimp on activated charcoal—stuff ten packs under seats and in trunk corners, then air them out for a day each month. Forget about using pomelo peels or perfumes to mask odors; that’s just self-deception. After six months of driving, I tested with a detector last week—finally dropped to 0.03.

How to Properly Turn on the Car Air Conditioner in Winter?

Winter proper way to turn on the car air conditioner is: 1. Start the engine for preheating; 2. Turn on the heater when the engine coolant temperature reaches above 40°C; 3. Turn on the external circulation to expel cold air from the cabin; 4. Switch to internal circulation. The working principle of car air conditioning heating is: When the engine coolant becomes sufficiently hot, the refrigerant gas enters the condenser where its pressure and temperature decrease, causing the refrigerant gas to condense into liquid and release heat. Car air conditioning maintenance methods include: 1. Don't set the temperature too low; 2. Control the air outlet direction; 3. Avoid prolonged use; 4. Appropriately use high fan speed; 5. Turn off the AC when driving at low speeds.
