Truck air conditioning not cooling can be caused by: 1. Accumulation of impurities in the condenser; 2. Buildup of dust in the air filter; 3. Damage to pipelines and connecting components; 4. Compressor failure. Solutions for truck air conditioning not cooling include: 1. Check if the refrigerant is insufficient—if so, simply go to a service station to add refrigerant; 2. Check if the compressor is operating or damaged—if the compressor is damaged, it can only be replaced with a new one. Functions of car air conditioning: 1. Achieve cooling effect through the continuous phase change cycle of refrigerant; 2. Remove dust, odors, smoke, and toxic gases from the air inside the car to freshen the air, and humidify the air inside the car to increase the relative humidity.

My truck's air conditioning suddenly stopped cooling in the summer after long-term use, which was unbearable. After inspection, it was found to be a refrigerant leak due to aging pipes with tiny cracks. It could also be due to compressor wear preventing it from working, or the condenser being clogged with dirt. For a temporary fix, I added some refrigerant myself, but for a lasting solution, I'll need to go to a professional shop to replace the pipes or clean the system. Remember to keep the ventilation good while driving, and don't wait until it completely breaks down to fix it, to avoid affecting delivery efficiency due to mid-journey problems. Regular simple maintenance before seasonal changes can significantly extend the air conditioning's lifespan.

What Happens If the Catalytic Converter Is Removed?

Effects of removing the catalytic converter: 1. Impact on exhaust emissions: It will cause the exhaust emissions to exceed standards and produce a foul odor. 2. Impact on vehicle performance: It can lead to reduced driving power, engine backfiring, increased fuel consumption, incomplete combustion, carbon buildup in cylinders, spark plug fouling, and other issues. Below is an introduction to the catalytic converter: 1. Function: The catalytic converter is the most important external purification device installed in a vehicle's exhaust system. It converts harmful gases such as CO (carbon monoxide), HC (hydrocarbons), and NOx (nitrogen oxides) from vehicle exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. 2. Working principle: When high-temperature exhaust gases pass through the purification device, the catalyst in the catalytic converter enhances the activity of CO, HC, and NOx, promoting specific oxidation-reduction chemical reactions. Among these, CO oxidizes into colorless, non-toxic carbon dioxide gas at high temperatures.

What is the difference between different colors of antifreeze?

In fact, the color is caused by adding dye to the liquid, which is only used to distinguish it from other liquids and has no other special functions. It can also help users distinguish when selecting antifreeze to prevent different antifreeze from being mixed and damaging the engine. The following is a related introduction about antifreeze: 1. Ingredients: The main components of antifreeze are ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and diethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol is generally green, propylene glycol is red with a hint of orange, and diethylene glycol is blue. 2. Protective effects: (1) It provides anti-corrosion protection for the components of the cooling system. (2) It prevents scale formation and avoids reducing the heat dissipation effect of the radiator. (3) It ensures that the engine can operate within the normal temperature range. 3. Anti-corrosion function: The engine and its cooling system are made of metal, including copper, iron, aluminum, steel, and solder. These metals will corrode and rust when exposed to water at high temperatures for a long time. Antifreeze not only does not cause corrosion to the engine cooling system but also has anti-corrosion and rust removal functions.

What is the difference between non-motorized vehicles and motor vehicles?

The difference between non-motorized vehicles and motor vehicles mainly lies in two aspects: definition and coverage. Additional details are as follows: 1. Different definitions: Motor vehicles refer to wheeled vehicles driven or towed by power devices, used for carrying passengers, transporting goods, or performing specialized engineering operations on roads; Non-motorized vehicles refer to transportation tools driven by human or animal power on roads, as well as transportation tools such as disabled motorized wheelchairs and electric bicycles that, although driven by power devices, meet national standards for maximum design speed, unladen mass, and dimensions. 2. Different coverage: Motor vehicles include various cars, trolleybuses, battery-powered vehicles, motorcycles, agricultural transport vehicles, wheeled specialized machinery, wheeled tractor units, hand tractor units, hand tractor modified transporters, and towed semi-trailers and full trailers; Non-motorized vehicles include bicycles, tricycles, rickshaws, animal-drawn carts, special vehicles for the disabled, electric bicycles, etc.

What is the normal coolant temperature for an engine?

Engine coolant should normally maintain a temperature around 90℃. Both excessively high and low temperatures can cause damage to the vehicle. Lower temperatures indicate stronger cooling performance, but it's important to understand that coolant isn't better when colder. Excessively low temperatures mean greater heat loss from combustion through cooling, and lower operating temperatures result in higher fluid viscosity. Increased viscosity leads to greater resistance in moving parts, reducing power output. Here is relevant information: 1. The primary function of engine coolant is to protect the engine and ensure its proper operation. It circulates within the engine radiator, providing anti-freeze, anti-boil, anti-rust, and anti-corrosion effects. Most coolants are red or green in color to help identify leaks or distinguish them from other engine fluids, preventing confusion. 2. Engine coolant should be replaced based on mileage or time intervals, as it's difficult to visually determine its degradation. If the coolant remains unchanged but its anti-corrosion properties deteriorate, components like the radiator, pipes, and hoses may be damaged. 3. When replacing coolant, measure its freezing point, prevent leaks, and avoid hot coolant from spraying and causing injury. Ensure complete drainage of the original coolant (from both the radiator and engine block), add the correct amount, and avoid leaving any residual leakage on vehicle components. After completing the procedure, check for any leaks.

Is a Tiptronic Transmission the Same as an AT Transmission?

Tiptronic transmission is not the same as an AT transmission. The following are the differences between a Tiptronic transmission and an AT transmission: 1. Different meanings: A Tiptronic transmission is a transmission device that combines manual and automatic shifting functions. An AT transmission refers to a hydraulic automatic transmission, which is one of the four common types of automatic transmissions in cars today. The other three are: Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), and Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT). 2. Different structures: A Tiptronic transmission mainly consists of a standard gearbox (similar to a manual transmission), an electronically controlled clutch, an automatic shift control mechanism, and an electronic control unit. A hydraulic automatic transmission achieves automatic shifting through hydraulic transmission and planetary gear combinations. It generally consists of a torque converter, planetary gear mechanism, shift actuators, shift control system, and shift control mechanism.

What is the speed limit on the Shenji Expressway?

In the Shenyang section, the speed limit is 120 km/h, while in the Jilin section, it is 100 km/h. Maximum speed: Expressways should indicate the driving speed of each lane. The maximum speed must not exceed 120 km/h, and the minimum speed must not be lower than 60 km/h. On expressways, the maximum speed for small passenger vehicles must not exceed 120 km/h, for other motor vehicles it must not exceed 100 km/h, and for motorcycles, it must not exceed 80 km/h. Minimum speed: According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," if there are two lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 km/h; if there are three or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the leftmost lane is 110 km/h, and for the middle lane, it is 90 km/h. If the speed limit indicated by road signs conflicts with the above lane speed regulations, drivers should follow the speed limit indicated by the road signs.
