Air conditioning refrigerant is the working medium in the refrigeration cycle, which transfers heat through phase changes of the refrigerant. Here are specific details about vehicle air conditioning refrigerant: 1. The refrigerant used in vehicle air conditioning is R134a, which is an environmentally friendly refrigerant. The refrigerant in vehicle air conditioning is used for cooling, achieved through the transformation of the refrigerant between different states. 2. When the vehicle air conditioning is cooling, the engine drives the compressor to operate. The compressor continuously compresses the refrigerant and delivers it to the evaporator. After reaching the evaporator, the refrigerant expands in volume, absorbing heat and cooling the evaporator. The cooled evaporator then cools the air blown by the blower, allowing the air conditioning vents to blow cold air. 3. The front of the vehicle is equipped with a condenser, which dissipates heat for the refrigerant.

What are the effects of shifting to P gear before the car comes to a complete stop?

The impact of shifting to P gear before the car comes to a complete stop depends on the speed: 1. If the speed does not exceed 5 kilometers per hour, there will be no damage to the components; 2. If the speed is too high, it may cause gear damage, leading to major malfunctions. The P gear is the parking gear in an automatic transmission, which mechanically locks the wheels to prevent rolling and avoid unnecessary accidents. The correct method for parking an automatic transmission car is: 1. Engage the handbrake; 2. Shift to P gear; 3. Release the foot brake and turn off the engine. Other gears in an automatic transmission include: 1. R gear for reverse; 2. N gear for neutral; 3. S gear for sport mode; 4. D gear for drive; 5. L gear for low speed; 6. M gear for manual mode.

Can the ETC device still be used after being removed?

Once removed and reinstalled, it cannot function normally. During installation, there is a button on the back of the device that connects to the windshield. Data is only saved when this button is pressed. When the device is removed a second time, the button pops out, triggering its reset mechanism and clearing all data. As a result, it becomes unusable and requires a complete reinstallation. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, which is an electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, the vehicle owner must provide original and photocopies of their valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If applying through an agent, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is needed. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old, and the vehicle must be registered under their name. For company vehicles, the required documents include: An introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); a photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); the agent's original ID card; the original vehicle registration certificate; and the vehicle requiring ETC installation. How ETC works: The vehicle-mounted electronic tag, installed on the windshield, communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. Through computer networking technology, it settles transactions with the bank in the background, allowing vehicles to pay highway or bridge tolls without stopping. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions by allowing vehicles to pass toll stations without stopping; Cost-saving: Reduces wear and fuel consumption by minimizing vehicle starts and stops, and users can enjoy toll discounts; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster and more advanced. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous.
