KERS stands for the Kinetic Energy Recovery System. Its fundamental principle is to store the vehicle's braking energy through technical means and release it as auxiliary power during the car's acceleration process. The following are the constraint clauses in the new regulations: 1. Power requirements: The maximum output and input power of the KERS system must not exceed 60KW, and the total energy released per lap must not exceed 400KJ. 2. Racing requirements: During the refueling process in the pit, no additional energy storage can be added to the KERS system. The racing engine, gearbox, clutch, differential, KERS, and all related activation mechanisms must be controlled by the ECU provided by the FIA-designated ECU supplier (i.e., the standard ECU provided by McLaren).

Is It Necessary to Repair a Car Submerged Over the Roof?

Submerged cars can be repaired. Here are the details: 1. Engine: For the engine, if the repair quality is high, there will be no sequelae. However, if other parts of the car were also submerged at the time, pay attention to the higher probability of electronic and electrical failures in the future, such as the starter motor, generator, window and door lift motors, and other hardware facilities. The chassis generally does not corrode. 2. Interior: It is important to clean the interior promptly. Carpets, door interior panels, soundproofing cotton, etc., should also be dried in time to prevent musty odors in the car in the future.

What is Automotive Interior Steam Cleaning?

Steam car washing is a professional automotive detailing and care service. High-pressure steam not only disinfects but also removes dirt, featuring a unique thermal decomposition function that rapidly breaks down the adhesive properties of mud and stains, separating them from the vehicle's surface to achieve cleaning. Below are relevant details: 1. Introduction: Steam car washing is an advanced steam detailing care service. Steam possesses strong thermal degradation physical characteristics. When sprayed onto the vehicle's surface, the low-temperature steam pressure shockwave, equivalent to a driving speed of 90-100 km/h, instantly removes contaminants adhering to the paint surface before wiping, ensuring no harm to the paint. Additionally, the neutral steam cleaning wax rapidly solidifies on the paint surface, forming a protective wax film. 2. Benefits: High-pressure steam can both disinfect and remove dirt, with a unique thermal decomposition function that quickly dissolves the adhesive nature of mud and stains, detaching them from the vehicle's surface for effective cleaning.
