The function of an air filter includes the following 3 points: 1. Interception: Dust entering the filter medium will repeatedly impact the medium, sticking upon contact. Airborne dust particles move with the airflow through inertial motion, random motion, or under the influence of certain field forces. When these particles collide with other objects, they adhere to the fiber surface; 2. Electrostatic effect: Static electricity alters the trajectory of dust particles, causing them to collide with obstacles. It also enhances the adhesion of dust to the medium. Both fibers and particles may carry charges, generating an electrostatic effect. Electrostatically charged filter materials can significantly improve filtration efficiency; 3. Filtration of substances: An air filter removes solid particles from the air, such as iron filings or sand grains. Its role is to separate liquid water and oil droplets from compressed air and filter out dust and solid impurities, though it cannot remove gaseous water and oil.

How to Reactivate ETC After Detachment?

Methods to reactivate ETC after detachment: 1. Insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively until the electronic tag screen displays 'Bluetooth On' or directly press the button on the top of the electronic tag to activate Bluetooth; 2. Turn on Bluetooth on your phone, open the app mini-program, download the corresponding mobile app based on the electronic tag's brand, and enter the device activation interface; 3. Click 'Device Connection', select the device model to be connected, and patiently wait for the successful connection prompt; 4. After successful connection, follow the prompts to verify and upload a photo of the vehicle's front face to complete activation. Wait for 3 to 5 days for review, and it can be used normally after approval.

Is the Tire Ruined After Driving a Distance Without Air?

Not necessarily. However, it is not recommended to continue driving with low tire pressure. The specific consequences are as follows: Consequences: Driving with insufficient air pressure can cause excessive flexing of the tire body, which generates high heat. The inner liner rubber may burn into black spots, leading to separation between the rubber and the tire cord fabric. In more severe cases, the inner liner rubber may melt due to high heat, causing structural damage to the tire. Safety Hazards: Continuing to drive with weakened tire strength may eventually lead to tire failure or even a blowout, posing significant safety risks.

What is the appropriate tire inflation pressure for sedans?

Tire inflation pressure is generally maintained at 2.2-2.5 bar, which is considered appropriate. In summer, it should be slightly lower. Effects of abnormal tire pressure: Excessive tire pressure reduces the friction and adhesion of the tires, increases the risk of tire blowouts, and affects driving safety. Insufficient tire pressure not only causes steering difficulties and vehicle deviation, which are detrimental to driving safety, but also damages the tires. Seasonal factors affecting tire pressure: In winter, it is advisable to increase the standard tire pressure by approximately 0.2 bar. In summer, follow the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. For vehicles parked outdoors in summer, the pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to prevent high-temperature blowouts.

What is the rod connecting the wheels called?

The rod connecting the wheels is called the car suspension. Definition of car suspension: The suspension system refers to all the force-transmitting connection devices between the car frame and the axle or wheels. Its function is to transmit forces and torques between the wheels and the frame, buffer the impact from uneven roads to the frame or body, and dampen the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth driving. Non-independent suspension system: The structural feature of a non-independent suspension system is that the wheels on both sides are connected by an integral axle, and the wheels together with the axle are suspended under the frame or body through an elastic suspension system.

Will an Electric Car Stall When Wading Through Water?

It can stall. Generally, deep water wading primarily tests the sealing of car doors and the passenger compartment. Additionally, electric vehicles have specified wading depths, and exceeding them is not recommended. Below are the reasons: Poor Sealing Solutions: The sealing of the power output shaft. If the water level exceeds the power output shaft, water can quickly enter the transmission and then the motor. Short Circuit: Power sources, cables, and inverters. If the water level is too high, these components are prone to short circuits because water can enter through any gaps. Poor Contact: The electrical control system and sensor lights in cars typically use traditional connectors. After being submerged in water, they may experience poor contact and short circuit issues.

What are the reasons why a car won't start in cold weather?

The reasons why a car won't start in cold weather are: 1. The car battery is dead; 2. Low temperature causes the viscosity and rotation speed of the engine oil to decrease; 3. There is a problem with the ignition system; 4. Insufficient fuel in the car; 5. Excessive carbon deposits inside the vehicle's engine; 6. The fuel pump is damaged, preventing fuel in the fuel tank from being supplied for combustion. The solutions for a car that won't start are: 1. Check if the battery is dead; 2. Check if the fuel pump is damaged; 3. Check if there is sufficient fuel; 4. Check if the engine sensors are damaged; 5. Check if there is a problem with the ignition system; 6. Use a heating rod to warm up the engine oil.
