The disadvantages of adding too much refrigeration oil are as follows: 1. Refrigeration oil generally exists in liquid form in the air conditioning system and has a certain solubility with the refrigerant. Since the thermal conductivity of refrigeration oil is worse than that of the refrigerant, when the refrigerant dissolves refrigeration oil, it will hinder heat exchange between the refrigerant and the condenser pipes in the condensation section, forming a noticeable temperature gradient. The more refrigeration oil dissolved in the refrigerant, the worse its heat exchange capability, leading to deteriorated condensation heat dissipation. 2. When the refrigerant containing refrigeration oil is injected into the evaporator through the throttling device, most of the refrigerant will evaporate strongly into a gaseous state, while the refrigeration oil will exist as small droplets or mist. When the cooling capacity is fixed, the more refrigeration oil there is, the more cooling capacity is used to lower the temperature of the refrigeration oil, leaving less cooling capacity for heat exchange with the evaporator to cool the cabin space. 3. When the amount of refrigeration oil is excessive and cannot be carried back to the compressor by the refrigerant vapor, the excess refrigeration oil will adhere to the evaporator and related pipe walls, forming a thermal resistance that hinders heat exchange. 4. Excessive refrigeration oil can also accumulate at the lowest points of the pipeline, increasing the flow resistance of the refrigerant and reducing its circulation volume. 5. Too much refrigeration oil in the cylinder can reduce the volumetric efficiency of the compression chamber (the excess oil occupies the volume of the refrigerant vapor, reducing the circulation volume of the refrigerant). This reduction in circulation volume can significantly lower the air conditioning cooling capacity, which is the most significant factor affecting the performance of the air conditioning system due to refrigeration oil.

How to Open a Car Wheel Lock?

Methods to open a car wheel lock: 1. If you have the key, it can be easily opened; 2. If you don't have the key, you need to seek professional help to unlock it, as you cannot open the lock yourself. If your tire is locked, do not attempt to drive away forcibly, as this may damage both the vehicle and the tire. Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. The functions of tires are: 1. To directly contact the road surface and work with the car suspension to cushion the impact during driving; 2. To ensure good ride comfort and smooth driving; 3. To ensure good adhesion between the wheel and the road surface, improving the car's traction, braking, and passability; 4. To bear the weight of the car.

What are the reasons for a thermostat failure?

Here are the reasons for a thermostat failure: 1. Due to prolonged warm-up time, the engine operates at a lower water temperature, causing combustion gases and condensed water on the cylinder walls to form acidic substances that corrode the cylinders; 2. Liquid fuel and water wash away the lubricating oil film on the cylinder walls and flow down to the oil pan, diluting the lubricating system's oil, leading to wear on the cylinder liners and piston components; 3. If the cylinder block has defects repaired with adhesive, excessive temperature fluctuations between cold and hot states cause frequent contraction and expansion of the cylinder block, which can lead to adhesive failure or detachment, resulting in diesel engine malfunctions. Additional impacts of a faulty thermostat include: 1. The engine cannot reach its optimal operating temperature; 2. Increased engine wear, shortening the engine's service life; 3. The oil cannot achieve optimal viscosity, increasing engine operating resistance; 4. The engine cannot operate at its normal temperature.

Why hasn't Dodge entered the Chinese market?

Dodge has not entered the Chinese market for the following reasons: 1. Niche market: The brand is too niche, with limited sales even in the U.S., let alone in China. While American muscle cars have some fans in China, they are relatively few. The Mustang sells well, but it also enjoys greater fame than other models. 2. Unsuitability for the local market: North American models typically start with 3.6L V6 engines, which would incur high tariffs if imported to China. Chrysler also lacks a 2.0T engine option for a China-specific version, making the pricing unattractive in the domestic market. 3. Quality issues: Apart from low brand recognition, Chrysler's marketing efforts for Dodge in China have been weak. Even after becoming part of Fiat, there has been little improvement. Beyond poor brand marketing, another major and more objective reason for Dodge's failure in China is product quality issues.

What is the tire specification of the CC?

The tire specifications of the CC vary depending on the model. Taking the 2021 CC as an example, it uses two specifications: 245/45R18 and 245/40R19. Tire models are usually represented by a set of numbers, where the first number indicates the tire section width, and the latter represents the rim diameter in inches. The CC is a mid-size car under FAW-Volkswagen. Taking the 2021 CC 330TSI Xuanmu Edition as an example, its body dimensions are 4865mm in length, 1870mm in width, and 1459mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2841mm.
