Here are the reasons why the air conditioner is not cooling: 1. Insufficient or too little refrigerant: When the air conditioner is running normally, if you observe continuous and slow bubbles in the sight glass above the dryer, it indicates insufficient refrigerant. If there are obvious bubble flips, it means the refrigerant is severely insufficient. 2. Too much refrigerant: Excessive refrigerant can also cause the air conditioner to not cool. This is because the proportion of refrigerant in the air conditioning system has specific requirements. If the proportion is too high, it will affect heat dissipation. Similarly, adding too much cooling oil during maintenance can also reduce the heat dissipation of the refrigeration system. 3. Loose drive belt of the car air conditioner compressor: Car cooling relies on refrigerant, and the transmission of refrigerant depends on the air conditioner compressor. The drive belt is an important moving part that drives the compressor. If the drive belt is loose, the compressor will slip during operation, leading to reduced transmission efficiency, decreased compressor speed, and reduced delivery of compressed refrigerant, resulting in the car air conditioner not cooling.

When does the BMW 730 electronic water pump operate?

BMW 730 electronic water pump operates as soon as the engine starts. Definition of electronic water pump: A new type of water pump that uses piezoelectric materials as power devices, completely electronic from control to drive, with an electronic integrated system fully controlling liquid transmission, thereby achieving adjustability and precision in liquid transfer. Features of electronic water pump: The driving mode uses piezoelectric materials as power devices, overturning the traditional motor-driven concept. It can precisely transport liquids for applications such as quantitative liquid transfer and control. The liquid transfer speed is adjustable. The pump body comes with an operation panel, all operations are completed via electronic buttons, fully digital settings, equipped with digital display for intuitive and accurate operation. Compact size (similar to a cigarette box), lightweight (less than 200 grams).

How to Use Automotive OBD?

Automotive OBD is used by connecting the OBD interface to a computer, allowing real-time viewing of vehicle data and detection of faults. Automotive OBD refers to the On-Board Diagnostics system, which serves the following purposes: 1. Locating and describing faults in specific parts or components to facilitate repairs; 2. Alerting to faults that cause excessive emissions, thereby indicating increased environmental impact from pollutant emissions. Automotive OBD includes: 1. EGR; 2. Engine; 3. Particulate filter; 4. Catalytic converter; 5. Oxygen sensor; 6. Emission control system; 7. Fuel system.

What are the signs before a car tire bursts?

Signs before a car tire bursts include: 1. Small bubble-like protrusions appearing on the tire; 2. Excessive tire wear leading to shallow tread patterns or visible tread wear indicators; 3. Abnormal internal tire pressure; 4. Cracks appearing on the tire sidewall. The functions of tires are: 1. Transmitting driving force, braking force, and steering force to enable vehicle operation; 2. Supporting vehicle load; 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving to prevent severe vibrations from damaging car components. Tire maintenance methods include: 1. Parking in shaded areas; 2. Using sunshade car covers; 3. Regularly checking tire temperature and pressure; 4. Inspecting tires when the temperature gauge points to high temperatures; 5. Performing regular four-wheel rotation.
