Internal blockage in a car air conditioning condenser can significantly reduce the cooling effect. When a layer of dirt adheres to the condenser, the condensation efficiency deteriorates. Here is relevant information: 1. Blockage at the outlet: If the refrigerant outlet of the condenser is blocked, the air conditioning compressor may operate intermittently, but the suction pressure will be very low, and the exhaust pressure will remain almost unchanged. This frequently triggers low-pressure protection or compressor overheating protection shutdown. 2. Working principle: Gas passes through a long tube (usually coiled into a solenoid), allowing heat to dissipate into the surrounding air. Metals like copper, with strong thermal conductivity, are commonly used to transport vapor. To improve the condenser's efficiency, heat-conducting fins with excellent thermal performance are often attached to the pipes to increase the heat dissipation area, accelerate heat dissipation, and enhance air convection through a fan to carry away the heat.

Does exhaust backfire damage the car?

No, it does not damage the car. Here is an introduction to backfire knowledge: 1. Cause: The reason why the exhaust emits a backfire sound is that the fuel injected by the engine at high RPM is not completely burned. The unburned fuel then enters the hot exhaust pipe with the exhaust gas and is reignited. The gasoline explodes in the relatively enclosed exhaust pipe, resulting in a crackling sound. If your vehicle is a high-performance car, this situation is relatively normal. However, if it is just an ordinary vehicle, it should be checked promptly. 2. Backfire sound: Not all cars can produce an exhaust backfire sound. Generally, it requires a special exhaust system or a high-displacement performance car to achieve this. Ordinary family cars cannot produce this effect.

How to Open the Trunk of Changan CS5?

There are three methods to open the trunk of the Changan CS5, detailed as follows: 1. Mechanical Key Opening: Insert the key into the trunk lock cylinder to open or close the trunk. This is the mechanical method, harking back to the era when car trunks first appeared and relied solely on mechanical keys. Nowadays, this method is considered quite cumbersome and has largely been phased out. 2. Remote Key Direct Opening: Using the remote key to open the car trunk is the most straightforward and simplest method. It's quite easy to use—simply press the trunk opening button on the remote key to open it. 3. Pressing the Unlock Button Directly: Some car models may not have a dedicated trunk opening button on the remote key. In such cases, pressing the unlock button will also release the trunk lock. 4. Smart Key + Trunk Switch: Additionally, some models come equipped with a smart key. As long as the remote key is within a certain range (usually about 1 meter), pressing the switch on the trunk will directly open it.

Can a driver's license be inspected in another location?

Vehicles can be inspected in another location. After September 1, 2018, cross-province inspections for small cars, trucks, and medium-sized buses have been fully implemented. Applicants can directly inspect their vehicles and apply for inspection qualification marks in provinces other than where the vehicle is registered, without the need to go through the entrusted inspection procedures. Additional information: The following are the precautions for handling an out-of-town vehicle inspection: 1. Handling the vehicle inspection authorization letter: First, the owner needs to obtain a notice of entrusted inspection from the original registration vehicle management office. When handling this, there is no restriction that the owner must go in person, so the owner can have a friend handle it on their behalf at the original registration location. 2. Materials required for the authorization letter: The owner's ID card, driving license, vehicle insurance information, original and photocopy of the vehicle and vessel tax, and an application for out-of-town inspection, etc.
