Abnormal noise when the car air conditioner is on can be caused by a damaged compressor belt tensioner, excessively worn or damaged blower motor, malfunctioning internal/external circulation motor, high pressure in the air conditioning system, improper engagement of the compressor clutch, or overdue air filter replacement. Solutions for abnormal noise when the car air conditioner is on: Clean the air vents promptly, remove and lubricate the fan blades while clearing any debris, replace the blower motor if necessary, and change the air filter. Methods for maintaining the car air conditioning system: Inspect the air conditioning system before first summer use, replace the cabin air filter regularly, clean the condenser periodically (removing the radiator for thorough cleaning), and occasionally running the system at high fan speed to blow out dust accumulation in the ducts. Precautions for using car air conditioning: Avoid excessively low temperatures, adjust vent direction properly, limit continuous operation, occasionally use high fan speed, and turn off AC during low-speed driving. The main components of car air conditioning are compressor, condenser, evaporator, receiver-drier, and expansion valve.

What Should Be Checked in a Vehicle Before Driving on the Highway?

Before driving on the highway, the vehicle should be checked for tires, various fluid levels, the steering system, etc. Tire Inspection: Visually inspect for signs of cracks or bulges; check tire pressure. In summer, it's advisable to slightly reduce the pressure by 0.1-0.2 bar to prevent blowouts. Fluid Inspection: Check if the engine oil is sufficient, as high-speed engines require good lubrication. Prolonged high-speed driving can lead to increased water temperature, and insufficient coolant may cause the engine to overheat, leading to smoke or even fire in the engine compartment. Brake fluid should not be deteriorated, as this can cause it to boil easily, resulting in insufficient braking force. Steering System Inspection: Check for any looseness in the steering wheel by attempting to turn it. According to regulations, when driving straight for one kilometer, the vehicle's lateral deviation should not exceed 5 meters. Also, inspect the rotating components on the chassis for any deformation or sticking.

What is the power rating of a home car charging station?

Charging stations are generally divided into two categories: AC stations and DC stations: 1. AC stations: Typically have a standard power rating of 7KW. Some manufacturers provide portable chargers or three-pin cables with only 2-3KW, which are not standard stations; 2. DC stations: Also known as fast-charging stations, they usually have power ratings of 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 100, 150, 200, 250, or 300KW. Most DC stations now use modular power combinations, offering more flexible benefits, allowing users to freely configure the charging station's power according to their needs. Additional information: The time required to fully charge a car depends on the battery capacity. Generally, small and medium-sized electric vehicles can hold up to 18 kWh of electricity. To calculate the charging time, it's necessary to know the input voltage and current of the charger. Moreover, the current consumption of the charger varies during charging and does not remain constant. Therefore, the calculated result is only a reference value.
