Car condenser's function is to dissipate heat and cool down the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant vapor discharged by the compressor, condensing it into a high-pressure liquid refrigerant. It can cool and liquefy the high-pressure, high-temperature gaseous refrigerant delivered from the compressor. The condenser is a component that continuously compresses the refrigerant from gas to liquid, which is a process of condensation and also a heat dissipation process. More information about car condensers is as follows: 1. The condenser is a component of the refrigeration system, belonging to a type of heat exchanger. It can transform gas into liquid and quickly transfer the heat in the tubes to the air near the tubes. 2. The working principle of the condenser: The refrigerant enters the evaporator, where the pressure decreases, changing from high-pressure gas to low-pressure gas. This process absorbs heat, so the surface temperature of the evaporator is very low. With the help of a fan, cold air can be blown out. The condenser cools the high-pressure, high-temperature refrigerant from the compressor into high-pressure, low-temperature refrigerant. Then, it is vaporized through the capillary tube and sent to the evaporator for evaporation. 3. In car air conditioning systems, the condenser and evaporator are collectively referred to as heat exchangers. The performance of the heat exchanger directly affects the refrigeration performance of the car air conditioning system. They consume a large amount of metal materials, have a large volume, and their mass accounts for 50% to 70% of the total mass of the car air conditioning unit. The space they occupy directly affects the effective volume of the car, making their arrangement very difficult. Therefore, using high-efficiency heat exchangers is extremely important. The condenser and evaporator in the car air conditioning system must match the compressor and also be compatible with the throttle expansion mechanism. The working state of the condenser and evaporator directly affects the capacity (cooling capacity) of the refrigeration system, the power consumption of the compressor, and the overall economy of the air conditioning unit.

How to Solve the Idle Vibration When the AC is On in a Civic?

Dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. Clean the fuel system and check if the idle control valve has carbon deposits that need cleaning. Check the condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Inspect if the spark plugs have excessive carbon buildup and replace them if necessary. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop to check the fuel supply pressure and whether the intake pressure sensor is functioning normally. Inspect the fuel pressure and replace components if needed. Car vibration can also be related to aging engine mounts. If there are issues with the engine mounts, they need to be replaced.

What is the reason for the green light when charging the Chery Ant?

The reason for the green light when charging the Chery Ant is that the vehicle is fully charged. When the vehicle is charging, the charging indicator light is red. After the vehicle is fully charged, the charging indicator light will turn green. When charging the vehicle, it is necessary to calculate the time and cut off the power supply after the charging is completed, then the vehicle can be used normally. The Chery Ant is a small pure electric vehicle produced by Chery New Energy, built on the LFS pure electric platform. There are 10 models of the Chery Ant currently on sale, with dimensions of 3200 1670 1590mm and 3200 1670 1550mm, and a wheelbase of 2150mm. If the Chery Ant is a model with a range of 151km, the charging time with a dedicated charging pile is generally 6-7 hours, and the charging time with a portable emergency charging cable is 9-11 hours; if the vehicle is a model with a range of 251km, the charging time with a dedicated charging pile is generally 7-8 hours, and the charging time with a portable emergency charging cable is 12-14 hours; if the vehicle is a model with a range of 301km, the charging time with a dedicated charging pile is generally 7-8 hours, and the charging time with a portable emergency charging cable is 12-14 hours.

How to Conduct Annual Inspection for a Four-Year-Old Private Car?

Fill out two forms: the Motor Vehicle License and Certificate Application Form and the Motor Vehicle Inspection Record Form; locate the annual inspection data entry window to review and input the materials. Find the traffic violation inquiry window. If there are any violations, pay the fines here. Undergo the vehicle's external inspection, which requires opening the front hood and verifying the chassis number. The inspector will provide a signed page indicating the inspection is passed. Then, proceed to the inspection fee payment window to collect the invoice. Locate the inspection login window and leave all materials there; wait in line for the inspection. After the inspection is completed, you will receive an inspection report. Submit the annual inspection materials to the staff. If the annual inspection is passed, the annual inspection sticker will be issued.

What should the tire pressure be in summer?

In summer, the tire pressure should be between 2.3 and 2.5 bar. The standard air pressure can be found in the vehicle's user manual, on the label near the B-pillar of the driver's door, in the drawer next to the driver's seat, and on the fuel tank cap. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: 1. Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; 2. Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; 4. Increases body vibration, reducing the lifespan of other components; 5. Causes deformation of tire cords, decreasing tire elasticity; 6. Reduces resistance to punctures.
