The reason for water leakage in the car air conditioning system may be improper installation of the unit, poor drainage pipe, condensation on the pipes, or dripping from the heat exchanger. Improper installation: The indoor unit is tilted, and the direction of the pipe port is too high. Poor drainage pipe: The drainage pipe is loose or bent into a wave shape, causing poor drainage. Condensation on the pipes: The insulation material on the pipes is too poor or too thin, causing condensation when the refrigerant passes through the pipes. Dripping from the heat exchanger: The heat exchanger is covered with dust, causing uneven temperature distribution, which leads to the formation of water droplets in the middle of the heat exchanger. These droplets fall outside the water collection tray and drip indoors. Insufficient refrigerant in the air conditioning system can cause the indoor unit to freeze, and the melted ice does not directly drip into the water collection tray.

Is carrying Freon in a vehicle considered hazardous material?

It is not classified as hazardous material. Overview of Freon: Freon is a common refrigerant with many varieties, including R22, R32, R134a, etc. Freon is typically a gas at room temperature and pressure, with a slight aromatic odor. Under low temperature and high pressure, it appears as a transparent liquid. It can mix in any proportion with halogenated hydrocarbons, monohydric alcohols, or other organic solvents, and different Freon refrigerants are also mutually soluble. Hazards of Freon: Freon is a very significant greenhouse gas. Although its atmospheric concentration is notably lower than other greenhouse gases, its greenhouse effect is 3,400 to 15,000 times that of carbon dioxide. Large-scale emissions critically impact the vertical temperature structure of the atmosphere and its radiative balance, leading to abnormal climate changes and posing a severe threat to Earth's ecological security.

What are the penalties and demerit points for driving without insurance?

You will be required to pay a fine equivalent to twice the premium of the compulsory traffic insurance, and your driver's license will be deducted 1 point. Below is more information about car insurance: 1. Definition: Car insurance is a type of commercial insurance that covers liability for personal injury or property damage caused by natural disasters or accidents involving motor vehicles. 2. Compulsory Traffic Insurance (CTI): CTI is a mandatory national insurance that every vehicle owner must purchase. If you drive without CTI, once caught, your vehicle will be impounded (until you purchase CTI and place the insurance sticker in the designated position to retrieve your car), you will be fined, and corresponding demerit points will be deducted. CTI primarily provides coverage for personal injury and property damage to victims (excluding the vehicle's occupants and the insured) in traffic accidents. However, the compensation limit of CTI is limited and may not cover large-scale personal injury accidents.

Why Are Off-Road Vehicles Not Afraid of Water?

Off-road vehicles have higher air intake and exhaust ports, giving them a certain wading capability. When leaving the factory, off-road vehicles come with a specified wading depth, typically around 500 millimeters. Related details are as follows: Due to their body-on-frame construction, hardcore off-road vehicles generally have a greater wading depth compared to urban SUVs and sedans. However, it is crucial to avoid water levels exceeding the bumper. If water enters the engine's air intake, it can cause severe internal impacts, leading to immediate engine failure. Additionally, when driving through water, do not reduce throttle or stall the engine. If water enters the exhaust pipe, it can be sucked back into the engine due to the engine's suction force, posing a risk of engine damage. Modifications can be made to enhance wading capability. Most modifications start with waterproof sealing of electrical components and connectors, followed by relocating the intake piping and air filter outside the engine bay to raise their position. It should be noted that after installing a raised air intake, the vehicle's power may be somewhat affected, and fuel consumption will increase significantly.
