What is the working principle of the secondary air pump?

The working principle of the secondary air pump: When the engine is running, the air pump is driven by the crankshaft transmission belt, pumping a large volume of low-pressure air flow through a hose into the diverter valve. Under normal circumstances, the valve on the diverter valve opens, allowing the air flow to pass through the diverter valve and the one-way valve into the air injection manifold. The following describes the role of the secondary air pump: It draws fresh air into the air pump and injects it into the exhaust system. The fresh air accelerates the catalytic reaction of the three-way catalytic converter, converting carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas into carbon dioxide and water, serving an environmental protection function, and it operates for a maximum of only five minutes. It helps the three-way catalytic converter reach its working temperature sooner, reducing harmful substances in the exhaust and serving an environmental protection purpose.

What is the difference between 5w and 10w motor oil?

The difference between 5w and 10w motor oil lies in their freezing point temperatures: 5w oil has a freezing point of -30°C, while 10w oil freezes at -25°C. Motor oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication, friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing, rust prevention, and shock absorption. A smaller number before the 'w' indicates lower viscosity and better low-temperature fluidity, making it suitable for colder climates. Conversely, a larger number after the 'w' signifies higher viscosity and better high-temperature stability. When using motor oil, ensure the grade is correct and the product is genuine, as counterfeit or substandard oil can damage the engine.

How Does a Windshield Wiper Work?

Windshield wipers operate as follows: The motor on the wiper drives the output through the worm gear on the armature shaft and then drives the output gear via the idler and idler shaft. The output arm, which is connected to the wiper linkage, is then manipulated by the output shaft. When the motor rotates, the output arm and linkage are driven to move back and forth. The windshield wiper is a blade-like structure installed in front of the windshield, consisting of a motor, a reducer, a four-bar linkage mechanism, a wiper arm spindle, and a wiper blade assembly. The key to the wiper's effective operation lies in the rubber wiper blade maintaining sufficient moisture. Only with adequate moisture can the blade retain excellent flexibility, ensuring tight contact with the windshield.

What does the 't' in uy125t mean?

uy125t's 't' refers to a scooter. The '125' indicates that the motorcycle's displacement is 125CC. Below is an introduction to scooters and their classification: Scooter: There are no gears, all using continuously variable transmission. The front brake is on the right handle, and the rear brake has two types: foot brake and hand brake. If it's a hand brake, it's on the left hand, similar to a bicycle's brake. The horn is usually located below the left hand, and the turn signals are in the middle of the left-hand switch. Flipping it to one side will activate the corresponding turn signal. Generally, the topmost switch is the headlight dimmer. If the right-hand headlight switch is turned on, this switch can be used to toggle between high and low beams. When going uphill, simply keep accelerating. When going downhill, usually no acceleration is needed; just use the inertia to descend. The scooter's belt drive also provides some braking force when going downhill. If the speed feels too slow, you can add some throttle. Motorcycle Pedal Classification: Based on function, it can be divided into footrest pedals and brake pedals. The plastic footrest pedal of a scooter is located below the handlebars and seat, commonly known as the footboard. The brake pedal (smaller in surface area) of a step-through bike connects to the rear brake lever and is located in front of the right footrest. Pressing it down will produce a braking effect (braking), hence called the brake pedal.

What are the reasons for automatic glass cracking?

Glass may crack automatically due to the following reasons: 1. External force impact, such as being hit by flying stones or debris; 2. Excessive temperature difference between the interior and exterior of the vehicle, caused by extreme air conditioning cooling under intense sunlight, leading to thermal expansion, contraction, and uneven cooling; 3. Presence of bubbles, cracks, or impurities in the glass during production; 4. Insufficient installation clearance or direct contact between the glass and the frame, creating pressure on the edges or corners; 5. Glass processing factors, such as drilled holes or cut corners, which make the glass more prone to cracking; 6. Severe weather conditions like strong typhoons, causing failure in wind pressure resistance design. Automotive glass is manufactured by heating the glass to near its softening point in a furnace, then rapidly transferring it to cooling zones with varying intensities for uneven cooling.

How to turn on the cooling in a BMW 525?

To turn on the cooling in a BMW 525, follow these steps: 1. Locate the air conditioning control area in the middle of the vehicle's center console. 2. Use the knobs on both sides to adjust the temperature. Turn the left knob towards the blue area to lower the temperature, then press the AC switch to activate the cooling. The middle button controls the fan speed, and the button on the right adjusts the mode. The BMW 525 is a model under BMW, with dimensions of 5087 mm in length, 1868 mm in width, and 1500 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3108 mm.
