Engine output power is not the total work. Reasons why it's not the total work: In addition to being used to power the vehicle, engine power is also utilized for heat dissipation and other purposes. The actual power of an engine refers to the power measured at the engine flywheel after removing all power-consuming accessories such as fans, generators, and air filters during actual operation. Engine power: The work done by an engine per unit time is called the engine's power. The engine's power is not equal to the vehicle's power, as there are intermediate losses in mechanical transmission. Additionally, designs that increase body thickness and weight for safety considerations can also result in engine power losses.

Why does the car make a creaking sound when going over speed bumps when cold?

Cold car makes a creaking sound when going over speed bumps because the car's shock absorption system has malfunctioned and needs timely repair, otherwise it will affect the normal use of the car. It should be noted that it is very likely caused by the shock absorber itself leaking oil or bending, etc. This type of component cannot be directly repaired. If there is a problem, it can be directly replaced. The shock absorption springs on the car are very prone to aging during use, with the main manifestation being spring deformation. Spring deformation cannot be repaired, and it is recommended to replace it directly, otherwise it will affect the comfort of the car. When the car is driving at low speed on roads with poor conditions, the chassis of the car will produce vibration sounds, and there will be a noticeable feeling on the steering wheel of the front shock absorber. Sometimes the chassis may also feel too stiff, which indicates that there is a problem with the car's shock absorber.

Should Car Air Conditioning Refrigerant Be Added from the Low or High Pressure Side?

Car air conditioning refrigerant should be added from the low pressure side because the system is vacuumed, and the high pressure side is only suitable for adding refrigerant as it retains an interface. The method of addition depends on the substance being added. Here are more details about adding refrigerant from the low pressure side: 1. First, connect the manifold pressure gauge to the compressor and the refrigerant canister. After opening the canister, loosen the nut on the middle injection tube of the pressure gauge. When you hear the sound of refrigerant vapor flowing, tighten the nut. 2. Next, open the low pressure manual valve, allowing the refrigerant to enter the refrigeration system. When the system pressure reaches the specified value, close the low pressure manual valve. 3. Finally, start the engine and turn on the car air conditioning to allow the refrigerant to enter the refrigeration system, and then test the cooling effect.
