Silicon oil clutch cooling fan operates by utilizing the thermal expansion characteristics of silicon oil to drive the fan rotation. Axial fan: The blades of an axial fan push air to flow in the same direction as the shaft. The impeller of an axial fan is somewhat similar to a propeller. During operation, the majority of the airflow direction is parallel to the axis, in other words, along the axial direction. The power consumption of an axial fan is at its lowest when the inlet airflow is free air at 0 static pressure, and it increases as the back pressure of the airflow rises during operation. Centrifugal fan: When a centrifugal fan operates, the blades push air to flow in a direction perpendicular to the shaft (i.e., radial direction). The intake is along the axial direction, while the exhaust is perpendicular to the axial direction. In most cases, an axial fan can achieve the desired cooling effect. However, if the airflow needs to be rotated 90 degrees for exhaust or a higher air pressure is required, a centrifugal fan must be selected. Strictly speaking, blowers also belong to the category of centrifugal fans.

As an automotive enthusiast, I particularly enjoy studying the electronic systems of premium vehicles like the Audi A6L, where the fan controller is quite fascinating. Essentially, it's the Engine Control Unit (ECU) that orchestrates everything: temperature sensors on the vehicle continuously monitor the engine's temperature, and once it exceeds the preset threshold, the ECU signals the fan control module to adjust the speed of the fan motor. This control typically employs pulse-width modulation technology—when temperatures are high, the fan spins faster; when lower, it slows down or stops, ensuring efficient radiator cooling to prevent engine overheating. During long-distance drives in my A6L, the system automatically adjusts fan speeds, saving fuel while protecting the engine. However, if the controller fails, the fan might stop working or run uncontrollably, causing the coolant temperature to spike and trigger warning lights—a hazardous situation requiring immediate inspection and module replacement at a service center.

How to Determine a Car's Emission Standard?

Look at the front windshield, where there is an environmental protection label for the car, clearly indicating the standard. Below are other methods to determine a car's emission standard: 1. Visit a website: Log in to the Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Network, enter the vehicle model you want to query along with the verification code, and you can check the car's environmental standard. 2. Check the purchase documents: The materials provided by the dealer include the emission standard identifier. 3. Judge based on the car's manufacturing year: After 2015, most cars meet the China V standard; in 2014, some meet China IV, others China V; cars registered in 2007 may meet China III or China IV; those from 2005 are mostly China II.

What is the import tariff on cars in the United States?

The current import tariff imposed by the United States on imported cars is 40%. Here is some relevant information about car imports: 1. Composition of imported car prices: Currently, the price of imported cars in China mainly consists of five parts: the cost, insurance, and freight (CIF) price, import tariff, consumption tax, value-added tax (VAT), and dealer fees. 2. Price calculation formula: The general formula for calculating the price of an imported car is: CIF price × (1 + tariff rate + consumption tax rate) × (1 + VAT rate) / (1 - consumption tax rate + dealer fees) = basic price of the imported car.

Can National V vehicles still be registered in Chengdu now?

For National V vehicles purchased before June 30, 2019, registration can be processed according to the date on the purchase invoice after July 1. National V vehicles purchased after July 1 cannot be registered. Below is relevant information about the National VI standard: 1. Introduction to the National VI standard: The "National VI standard" is divided into two phases, "National VI a" and "National VI b", and is planned to be uniformly implemented nationwide on July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2023, respectively. 2. Promotion timeline of the National VI standard in Chengdu: The implementation date of the National VI emission standard in Chengdu is July 1, 2019, ahead of the national schedule, promoting the use of gas vehicles that meet the National VI emission standard. In accordance with national requirements, the supply of gasoline and diesel that meets the National VI standard will be fully provided, and the sale of gasoline and diesel below the National VI standard will be discontinued.

What is the maximum speed limit on highways?

According to regulations, the maximum speed on highways must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour. Here is relevant information about highway speed limits: 1. Minimum speed: The minimum speed must not be lower than 60 kilometers per hour. On highways, the maximum speed for small passenger vehicles must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, while other motor vehicles must not exceed 100 kilometers per hour, and motorcycles must not exceed 80 kilometers per hour. 2. Same-direction lanes: For roads with 2 lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed in the left lane is 100 kilometers per hour; for roads with 3 or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed in the leftmost lane is 110 kilometers per hour, the minimum speed in the middle lane is 90 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed in the rightmost lane is 60 kilometers per hour.

What is the vehicle maintenance checklist?

Vehicle maintenance checklist includes: 1. Maintenance content: Vehicle maintenance mainly covers the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and braking system. 2. Major maintenance: A major maintenance generally requires replacing engine oil and oil filter, spark plugs, air filter, cabin air filter, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and coolant; cleaning the throttle body and engine carbon deposits; conducting a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle's components, such as checking for oil leaks, and assessing the aging and wear of rubber parts, including tires and bushings.

Where to Obtain the Vehicle Registration Certificate?

Vehicle registration certificates need to be obtained at the local vehicle management office. Here is relevant information about the vehicle registration certificate: 1. Introduction to the Vehicle Registration Certificate: The 'Vehicle Registration Certificate' is a necessary property ownership document for the vehicle. It is required for any vehicle registration procedures such as transfer or change of ownership, and records the vehicle's relevant information, serving as the vehicle's household registration. 2. Materials required for application: 'Vehicle License Plate Application Form', original and copy of the vehicle owner's identity proof, and vehicle inspection record form. To apply for a replacement vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle owner should drive the vehicle to the vehicle management office. If the vehicle owner is a natural person applying for a replacement 'Vehicle Registration Certificate', they must apply in person and cannot authorize others to act on their behalf.
