An automobile generator serves to supply power to all electrical devices and simultaneously charge the battery when the engine is running normally. Below is relevant information about automobile generators: 1. Generator types: Automobile generators can be divided into DC generators and AC generators. Since AC generators outperform DC generators in many aspects, DC generators have been phased out. 2. AC generators: Most modern vehicles use three-phase AC generators, which incorporate diode rectifier circuits to convert AC to DC. Therefore, automobile AC generators output direct current.

How deep water can a sedan pass through?

The exhaust pipe of an ordinary sedan is 20 to 30 centimeters from the ground, while for SUV models it is 30 to 40 centimeters. Therefore, as long as the water does not exceed two-thirds of the tire height, drivers can proceed with confidence. Below are the relevant details: Lower intake pipe entrance: Due to the low position of the engine intake pipe entrance, water can be sucked into the engine when the vehicle is driving through water. Exhaust pipe below water level: Since the exhaust pipe outlet is below the water level, water can be sucked into the engine through the exhaust pipe. For SUVs with higher ground clearance, the risk of water entering the engine increases when this value exceeds 30 centimeters. Precautions: Since water entering the cylinders lacks lubrication, blindly restarting the engine after stalling may cause severe engine damage due to cylinder scoring, potentially leading to engine failure.

Will Used Car Dealers Sell Flood-Damaged Vehicles?

Used car dealers do sell flood-damaged vehicles, and there exists a market for such second-hand flood-damaged cars. Here are some precautions when purchasing used cars: 1. Rushing to pay a deposit: Currently, the Beijing Used Vehicle Trading Market, as one of the largest used car markets in China, has a daily inventory of nearly 10,000 vehicles. Generally, unless it's a particularly rare model, you won't encounter a situation where no cars are available. Of course, user preferences vary. If you're not fully informed and haven't made a definitive decision, don't rush to pay a deposit. According to relevant regulations, if you fail to complete the purchase and payment within the contract period, the deposit will not be refunded. Typically, deposits range from 1% to 5% of the vehicle's selling price. 2. Focusing solely on one aspect: This is a common pitfall, especially among female and younger buyers, who often focus only on appearance, particularly with unique models like the Beetle, Mini, or Audi TT. When evaluating a vehicle, consider its overall performance, including exterior and frame, engine and transmission, chassis, electrical systems, etc. Don't be single-minded; stay rational during critical decision-making moments. 3. Fixating on a single model: The biggest difference between used cars and new cars is their individuality. The available inventory may not always match the buyer's preferences in terms of model, color, configuration, or price. It's advisable to select used cars based on your budget and functional needs rather than fixating on a single model. Doing so can lead to price deviations and potentially overpaying.

What Causes Loud Engine Noise and Vibration?

The causes of loud engine noise and vibration are a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon deposits on the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold-start injector is largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts. This makes starting difficult and causes uneven air-fuel mixture ratios, leading to idle vibration after a cold start. Additionally, overfilling the engine oil creates unnecessary resistance on the crankshaft, which affects power output, increases fuel consumption, and allows more oil to enter the combustion chamber. This further increases carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, adding resistance to piston movement and reducing engine power. Moreover, excessive oil increases the stirring resistance of the crankshaft and connecting rods, which also amplifies noise.
