The reason why the car AC indicator light is on but the compressor doesn't start is due to compressor damage. The following describes the process of air conditioning refrigeration: 1. Compressor operation: When the car air conditioning is cooling, the compressor clutch will engage, at which time the engine drives the compressor to operate. During operation, the compressor continuously compresses the refrigerant and delivers it to the evaporator. 2. Refrigerant operation: The refrigerant continuously expands and absorbs heat in the evaporator, cooling the evaporator; the cooled evaporator then cools the air blown by the blower, allowing the car air conditioning vents to blow cold air.

When will Nissan e-Power be launched in the market?

Nissan e-Power will be launched in the second half of 2021. Meaning of e-Power: It consists of three parts: a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine, an 80kW permanent magnet synchronous motor, and a 1.47kWh battery. The engine is solely responsible for generating electricity, while the wheels are entirely driven by the electric motor. As a result, the engine can always operate at its optimal condition, providing better fuel economy and lower emissions. Nissan e-Power fuel consumption: The declared fuel consumption value is 4.1L/100km. By having the engine charge the battery, it eliminates the need for external charging and alleviates range anxiety.

What kind of engine oil should be used for the CS95?

According to the manufacturer's requirements, the CS95 should use 5W40 engine oil. However, in practice, the choice should be based on actual conditions. For example, in extremely cold regions like Northeast China, 0W40 engine oil is recommended. 5W40 or 0W40 refers to the SAE viscosity grade of the engine oil. The number before the 'W' indicates the minimum temperature at which the oil can be used, while the number after the 'W' represents the oil's viscosity. A higher number means higher viscosity, which provides better protection under high temperatures. It is crucial not to use low-quality engine oil, as it fails to protect the engine effectively and can even damage it, reducing the engine's lifespan.

What is the function of a car air conditioning system?

The functions of a car air conditioning system are: 1. To achieve a cooling effect by continuously cycling refrigerant; 2. To ventilate and exchange air by drawing in fresh external air, preventing windshield fogging; 3. To use engine coolant, waste heat, or heat generated by a burner as a heating source, which is then warmed by the heater and blown into the cabin by the blower to raise the temperature for a heating effect; 4. To remove dust, odors, and toxic gases from the cabin air, making it fresher; 5. To humidify the cabin air, increasing its relative humidity.

What are the consequences of not adding antifreeze to the car?

Not adding antifreeze to the car can lead to engine overheating and damage, potentially causing accidents. Below is an introduction to antifreeze: 1. Antifreeze: Its full name is antifreeze coolant. It also serves to prevent boiling in summer, helping to avoid engine overheating and boiling over. 2. Notes on adding antifreeze: Do not mix antifreeze of different colors and specifications. When using antifreeze from different brands, try to completely drain the original antifreeze from the cooling system. Regardless of whether the temperature is high or low, antifreeze should be used for the efficiency and longevity of the cooling system. There is no theory that antifreeze is unnecessary in southern regions because winters are not cold.

How Long Does the License Plate Registration Process Take?

License plate registration typically takes 1-2 days. Here are the relevant details: 1. Pre-registration preparation: Before going to the vehicle management office for registration, you must have the vehicle qualification certificate, purchase invoice, and compulsory traffic insurance policy (commercial insurance can be purchased after registration). Before processing the registration procedures at the vehicle management office, make 3 copies each of your ID card, vehicle qualification certificate, purchase invoice, and compulsory traffic insurance policy for backup. 2. Important notes: After purchasing a new car, there is no national regulation specifying how long you must complete the registration (license plate application). However, it is subject to restrictions from national environmental policies and changes in vehicle announcements.
