The car air conditioner needs to be refilled with refrigerant, and the relevant information is as follows: Freon-12 (Code: R12): R12 is a halogenated derivative of alkanes, with the chemical name dichlorodifluoromethane. It is a medium-pressure, medium-temperature refrigerant widely used in small and medium-sized refrigeration systems. It is a colorless, transparent, odorless, almost non-toxic, non-flammable, non-explosive, and very safe refrigerant. R134A: R134A is widely used for initial installation in new refrigeration and air conditioning equipment and for replenishment during maintenance. It is currently the most widely used medium-low temperature environmentally friendly refrigerant. Its main characteristics are: it does not contain chlorine atoms; it has good safety performance; its physical properties are relatively close to those of CFC12, making it easier to retrofit refrigeration systems; its heat transfer performance is better than that of CFC12, significantly reducing the amount of refrigerant required. HFC134A has similar evaporation pressure to CFC12, with an ODP value of zero and a GWP value of only 0.29, and it has no significant toxicity.

How Long Will It Take for Engine Oil with Sugar to Cause Malfunction?

As the vehicle operates over time and the temperature rises, the sugar will gradually dissolve, causing a significant increase in the local viscosity of the engine oil, which can prevent normal circulation. Here are the details: 1. Cause: When large particles cannot pass through the oil coarse filter, they affect the oil pump's supply pressure. As the temperature rises and the sugar melts, it enters the oil filter through the lubrication system pipelines, causing blockages. The decline in lubrication performance will cause irreparable mechanical damage to the engine, which can only be repaired through complete disassembly. 2. Harm: The engine is the heart of a car, and the engine oil is the lubricant that flows through the 'heart.' Adding sugar to the engine oil is like giving the car a 'chronic thrombosis disease.'

What is the lifespan of a car starter?

Car starter lifespan primarily depends on usage frequency, generally around 100,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information about car starters: Car starter lifespan: Lifespan mainly depends on usage frequency. Starters are typically calculated by the number of starts, usually about 10,000 cycles. In traffic congestion situations, frequent start-stop operations will reduce the starter's lifespan. Function of car starter: The car starter converts the battery's electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the engine flywheel rotation and achieve engine starting. Before an engine can run under its own power, it must be rotated by external force. The process where an engine transitions from stationary state to self-sustained operation with external assistance is called engine starting.

What to Do If You Haven't Replaced Your License After the Probation Period?

Solutions for not replacing the driver's license after the probation period: 1. If the driver's license replacement exceeds the validity period but is less than one year, you can handle the replacement by submitting required materials such as identity proof, physical condition proof, and the original driver's license; 2. If the driver's license exceeds the validity period by more than one year without replacement, the vehicle management office will cancel the driver's license; 3. According to regulations, if the cancellation of the driver's license does not exceed two years, the driver can regain driving eligibility by passing the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. The driver's license is a mandatory certification for motor vehicle drivers under the laws of the People's Republic of China. Anyone driving civil motor vehicles on the road must apply for a driver's license in accordance with relevant regulations.

What are the reasons for an automatic transmission not shifting up?

Automatic transmission not shifting up is due to sensor failure or circuit failure. The following are the related contents of the fault: Sensor failure or circuit failure: Poor or improperly adjusted throttle position sensor or accelerator pedal position sensor. Faulty output shaft speed sensor or poor speed signal. Shift solenoid valve failure. Faulty gear position switch or overdrive switch. Faulty automatic transmission oil temperature sensor. Consequences of long-term lack of maintenance for automatic transmission: If the transmission oil is not replaced, the vehicle may experience weak starting when cold. The vehicle is prone to slight slipping and other phenomena during driving. Long-term failure to replace the transmission oil will cause the oil to thicken, which can easily block the transmission radiator, leading to excessively high transmission oil temperature and increased wear.
