Can a Truck Still Run Without Urea?

A truck can continue to run without urea, but it should be replenished as soon as possible. Prolonged operation without urea circulation can lead to crystallization blockages or high-temperature damage in the urea pump nozzle, pipelines, and the urea pump itself, which are expensive to repair. If the truck runs without urea, the emission light will turn on, torque will be limited, and the vehicle will lack power, making it feel sluggish. Below is additional information: 1. Definition of Urea: Urea is added for vehicles with diesel engines because diesel engines emit harmful nitrogen oxide gases, which cause environmental pollution. Long-term inhalation of these exhaust gases can significantly harm human health. To mitigate this harm, vehicles with diesel engines require urea. 2. Role of Urea: Vehicle urea plays a crucial role in the vehicle's power and fuel consumption. If diesel exhaust fluid is not used, or if low-purity or counterfeit urea solution is used, the vehicle's engine may automatically reduce speed. Additionally, poor-quality diesel exhaust fluid can contaminate the catalyst in the SCR catalytic reaction tank, causing damage to the components of the after-treatment system.

How Does a Car Cooling System Work?

The working principle of a car cooling system is as follows: 1. Regulation of coolant flow: The regulation of coolant flow is automatically controlled by the opening and closing of the thermostat's main valve and bypass valve. The paraffin wax inside the thermostat's sensing body is solid below 76°C, begins to liquefy above 76°C, and completely turns into liquid above 86°C, expanding in volume and compressing the rubber tube to exert thrust on the central push rod. This mechanism changes the opening and closing states of the thermostat's main valve and bypass valve, thereby controlling the coolant circulation route. 2. Minor circulation: When the engine water temperature is low, the thermostat's main valve closes and the bypass valve opens, allowing the coolant to circulate within the engine in a minor loop. The coolant circulation route is: water pump → water jacket → thermostat bypass valve → minor circulation pipe → water pump. At this stage, the coolant flow path is short and the flow rate is small, facilitating rapid engine warm-up. 3. Major circulation: When the engine water temperature rises to a certain level, the thermostat's main valve opens and the bypass valve closes, enabling the coolant to circulate through the radiator in a major loop. The coolant circulation route is: radiator → water pump → water jacket thermostat → main valve → radiator. When the coolant flows through the radiator, the forced air draft from the fan dissipates heat into the air to ensure the engine temperature does not become excessively high. At this stage, the coolant flow path is long and the flow rate is large, hence it is called the major circulation.

What is the wading depth of the Beijing 40?

The wading depth of the Beijing BJ40 is 760mm. The wading depth of the Beijing BJ40 is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when passing through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, off-road vehicles and SUVs have obvious advantages. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a benchmark when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the Beijing BJ40 is below the water level during wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it can cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth should not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. Installing a snorkel can also increase the height of the engine's air intake, thereby improving the maximum wading depth. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before wading, always turn off the auto start-stop function to prevent the engine from automatically restarting after stalling in water, which could cause severe damage due to water ingress. Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of vehicles ahead and choose an appropriate entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. On roads prone to water accumulation, observe warning water level markers, trees, or reference points like the wheels and doors of other vehicles to estimate the water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Know your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half the tire height or the engine's air intake, avoid entering the water and choose an alternative route.

Is a 2015 car exempt from inspection in 2021?

According to the national six-year new car inspection exemption policy, you should have obtained a 2-year inspection compliance label at the inspection station in 2019. The label is still issued every two years for the first six years, but without requiring the car to be inspected at the station—just directly issuing the compliance label. The prerequisite for obtaining the label is to bring the compulsory insurance policy copy and ensure all traffic violations have been processed. More relevant information is as follows: 1. What does vehicle inspection exemption refer to: It is determined by the "Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturing Enterprises and Products Announcement" periodically released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, based on whether there is an inspection exemption record to determine if the vehicle qualifies as exempt. 2. Scope of inspection exemption: It applies to non-commercial passenger cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans and vehicles with 7 or more seats) within 6 years of registration. However, if the vehicle has been involved in a traffic accident causing casualties during this period, it must still undergo inspection as per the original regulations.
