The fogging on car windows is caused by high interior temperature, unheated glass, or low interior temperature. The specific reasons are as follows: High interior temperature: When the interior temperature is high and the outside is cold, moisture inside the car condenses on the cooler glass, forming fog. In this case, turning on the air conditioning to direct warm air toward the windows can help clear the fog. Unheated glass: Before the glass is heated, warm air can temporarily cause more fogging. Using cold air to blow on the windows or slightly opening the windows to equalize the temperature inside and outside can prevent fogging. Low interior temperature: When the interior is cold and the outside is humid, moisture will condense on the cooler outer surface of the windows. This can only be removed with wipers. Adjusting the air conditioning settings to prevent cold air from blowing directly onto the windows can also avoid external fogging.

Where is the carbon canister located in a car?

The carbon canister is located between the fuel tank and the engine in a car. It utilizes the adsorption capacity of internal activated charcoal to absorb and store fuel vapors from the fuel tank. The carbon canister is part of the evaporative emission control system, introduced to prevent fuel vapors from entering the atmosphere after the engine stops running. The working principle of the carbon canister is: 1. After the engine is turned off, fuel vapors mix with fresh air inside the canister and are stored in the activated carbon canister; 2. When the engine is started, the solenoid valve installed between the activated carbon canister and the intake manifold opens, allowing the fuel vapors in the activated carbon canister to be drawn into the cylinder by the vacuum in the intake pipe, where they mix with clean air and participate in combustion.
