Adding too much refrigeration oil can have the following consequences: 1. Hindering heat exchange: When the amount of refrigeration oil is excessive and cannot be carried back to the compressor by the refrigerant vapor, the excess oil will adhere to the evaporator and related pipe walls, forming a thermal resistance that hinders heat exchange. 2. Reducing refrigerant circulation: Excessive refrigeration oil can accumulate at the lowest pipeline points, increasing the flow resistance of the refrigerant and reducing its circulation volume. 3. Decreased cooling capacity: Too much refrigeration oil in the cylinder can reduce the volumetric efficiency of the compression chamber (the excess oil occupies the volume meant for refrigerant vapor, decreasing the refrigerant circulation volume). This reduction in circulation volume significantly lowers the air conditioning cooling capacity, which is the primary factor affecting the performance of the air conditioning system due to refrigeration oil.

What is the fuel consumption of Wuling Zhiguang?

According to the comprehensive fuel consumption data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Wuling Zhiguang has a combined fuel consumption of 5.8L~7.0L/100km. However, based on actual measured data from some Wuling Zhiguang owners, the real-world fuel consumption typically ranges from 6.0~8.0L/100km. Actual fuel consumption is influenced by various factors and requires comprehensive consideration from multiple aspects. Below is a method to calculate fuel consumption: Calculate fuel consumption based on the relationship between distance and speed. 1. Fill the car's fuel tank until the pump automatically stops, and record the current mileage. 2. The next time you refuel, fill the tank until the pump automatically stops again, and record the amount of fuel added. 3. Calculate the distance traveled since the last refueling, and then determine the fuel consumption based on the relationship between distance and speed.

What are the reasons for the car air conditioning compressor not working?

Reasons for the car air conditioning compressor not working are as follows: 1. Severe internal wear of the compressor, leading to inability to function properly. 2. It's important to know that the compressor plays a crucial role in the air conditioning system. Its main job is to compress and deliver cold air, which means the compressor operates at high speeds for prolonged periods. This is also a reason why the compressor may fail to work normally. Fault inspection and troubleshooting methods for a car air conditioning compressor not working: 1. Both high and low-pressure gauges indicate values lower than normal. This may be due to insufficient refrigerant. During inspection, you might find the high-pressure pipe slightly warm and the low-pressure pipe slightly cold, but the temperature difference is minimal. The sight glass may show bubbles appearing every 1-2 seconds. First, check for any leaks, repair them, and then replenish the refrigerant. 2. The low-pressure gauge shows a value much lower than normal. In this case, the sight glass may display a misty flow, with no temperature difference between the high and low-pressure pipes, and the cold air is not cold, indicating a severe leak. 3. The low-pressure gauge indicates near zero, and the high-pressure gauge shows a value lower than normal. The air conditioning system may blow air that is not cold, with frost forming on the pipes before and after the expansion valve. The cause could be frost blockage in the expansion valve, preventing refrigerant circulation in the system. In this case, repeatedly vacuum the system and replenish the refrigerant. Another possibility is damage to the expansion valve's temperature sensing bulb, preventing the valve from opening. Check the temperature sensing bulb. 4. Both high and low-pressure gauges indicate lower than normal values. This may indicate an internal fault in the compressor, such as damaged valve plates or gaskets, requiring compressor replacement. 5. Both high and low-pressure gauges show higher than normal values. The compressor's suction pipe surface temperature is lower than usual, appearing damp and icy. This is due to an excessively open expansion valve, causing an oversupply of refrigerant in the evaporator, which affects evaporation and reduces the cooling capacity of the air conditioning system.

How to Adjust Car Headlight Height?

To adjust the height of car headlights, rotate the headlight height adjustment button inside the vehicle. Below are specific introductions to various types of car lights: 1. Brake lights: Serve as a warning to people or vehicles behind; 2. Turn signals: Alert vehicles and pedestrians in front, behind, left, and right; 3. License plate lights: Illuminate the car's license plate at night; 4. High beams: Used to view distant road conditions; 5. Low beams: Provide clear visibility of the road ahead; 6. Fog lights: Have strong penetration in fog, making it easier for vehicles and pedestrians to notice early; 7. Daytime running lights: Attract the attention of other traffic participants; 8. Hazard warning lights: Alert vehicles behind to yield.

What to Do When Your Car Runs Out of Battery and Won't Start on the Road?

Here are the solutions when your car runs out of battery and won't start on the road: 1. Jump-start method: Find a nearby car with a working battery and a set of jumper cables. Bring the two cars close together, open the hood to locate the other car's battery, then connect the two batteries using the jumper cables; 2. Push-start method: Push the car manually to reach a certain speed, then shift into gear and quickly release the clutch pedal while stepping on the accelerator. Once the engine starts, quickly press the clutch pedal again and control the throttle to prevent stalling, then slowly pull over to park; 3. Towing method: The operation is similar to the jump-start method. Additional information: Signs that your car battery is dead on the road include the battery warning light turning on or swelling, dimming headlights, or difficulty starting the car.

What does car range mean?

Car range refers to the maximum distance a vehicle can travel with the remaining fuel in the tank at a relatively economical speed. The following factors affect the range of an electric vehicle: 1. Charging equipment: The quality of the charging equipment will affect the energy replenishment and output of the electric vehicle's battery, thereby affecting the range. 2. Tire pressure: Similar to gasoline vehicles, low tire pressure increases rolling resistance and lateral steering resistance, leading to faster battery consumption and reduced range. 3. Overloading: Just like gasoline vehicles, overloading an electric vehicle increases its weight, causing the battery to output more power and deplete faster, inevitably reducing the range. 4. Sudden stops and starts: Sudden stops or starts mean activating the motor in a very short time and consuming more electrical energy, which also shortens the motor's lifespan.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Sagitar?

The fuel tank capacity of the new-generation Volkswagen Sagitar is 50L, while the older model has a 55L tank. The size of the fuel tank directly determines the vehicle's driving range. In Volkswagen vehicles, the fuel tank is generally located at the rear right side of the car. It is not recommended to fill the tank completely when refueling. Below is some information about fuel tanks: 1. Generally, small cars have a fuel tank capacity of 35-45 liters, while mid-sized cars have a capacity of around 55-75 liters. A full tank typically allows for a driving range of approximately 500 kilometers. The size of the fuel tank varies depending on the vehicle's displacement and fuel consumption—larger fuel consumption means a larger tank, and vice versa. 2. The design of a car's fuel tank capacity usually allows for a driving range of 400-600 kilometers. Lighter vehicles with smaller displacements have correspondingly smaller fuel tanks, while heavier vehicles with larger displacements naturally have larger fuel tanks. However, the maximum range on a full tank is mostly between 400-600 kilometers. 3. Fuel tank capacity measurement unit: The international standard for measuring fuel tank capacity is liters (L). Different countries also have their own standards for fuel tank capacity. In China, the fuel tank capacity is regulated to be 95% of the rated value, but in practice, the actual capacity is usually greater than the nominal capacity.
