Car air conditioning location: The compressor is installed on the engine and driven by the engine crankshaft belt; the condenser is installed behind the front grille of the car to dissipate heat. Working principle of car air conditioning: The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant from the compressor enters the condenser through the high-pressure hose. Because the outside temperature is lower than the refrigerant temperature entering the condenser, with the help of the condenser fan, a large amount of heat from the refrigerant in the condenser is carried away by the outside air, causing the high-temperature and high-pressure gas to condense into a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid. When the high-pressure liquid flows through the throttle expansion valve, due to the throttling effect, its volume suddenly increases, the pressure drops, and it turns into a low-temperature and low-pressure mist (liquid) that enters the evaporator for constant-pressure evaporation. Since the temperature of the evaporating refrigerant inside the tube is lower than that of the circulating air outside the evaporator tube, it can automatically absorb heat from the air outside the tube, thereby reducing the temperature of the air flowing through the evaporator and producing a cooling effect. The vaporized refrigerant is sucked into the compressor and compressed into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which is then sent to the condenser through the high-pressure hose, completing the thermodynamic cycle of the refrigeration system.

Is It Necessary to Keep a Spare Tire in the Car?

It is necessary to keep a spare tire in the car. Here are some precautions for using a spare tire: 1. Regularly inspect the spare tire: The inspection mainly focuses on tire pressure, wear, and cracks. Replace the tire as soon as possible if the tread wears down to the wear indicator line. If there are fine cracks on the tire sidewall, avoid long-distance or high-speed driving, as high-speed driving can easily lead to a blowout. 2. Do not store oil products with the spare tire: Since tires are primarily made of rubber, storing lubricants or other oil products in the trunk can cause the tire to swell and corrode if they come into contact, significantly reducing the tire's lifespan. If the tire gets stained with oil, promptly wash it off with a neutral detergent. 3. Spare tire lifespan is about 4 years: As tires are rubber products, prolonged storage can lead to aging. Generally, the aging period for tires is about 4 years.

Does the Corolla have a four-cylinder engine?

The Corolla is equipped with a 1.2T four-cylinder engine across all models, delivering a maximum power of 116 horsepower and a peak torque of 185 N·m. Below is relevant information about the engine: 1. Introduction: An engine is a machine capable of converting non-mechanical energy into mechanical energy. 2. Classification: This includes internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (such as Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, and more. 3. External Combustion Engine: An external combustion engine refers to an engine where fuel is burned outside the engine. 4. Internal Combustion Engine: An internal combustion engine, or reciprocating piston engine, differs primarily from external combustion engines in that the fuel is burned inside the engine. There is a wide variety of internal combustion engines, with common gasoline and diesel engines being typical examples.

Can You Add Engine Oil When the Car is Hot?

You can add engine oil when the car is hot. Below are the specific functions of engine oil: 1. Shock absorption and cushioning: When the pressure in the engine cylinder rises sharply, it suddenly increases the load on the piston, piston pin, connecting rod, and crankshaft bearings. This load is transmitted and lubricated through the bearings, providing a cushioning effect against impact loads. 2. Rust and corrosion prevention: The lubricating oil adheres to the surface of parts, preventing contact with water, air, acidic substances, and harmful gases. 3. Lubrication and friction reduction: There is rapid relative sliding between the piston and cylinder, as well as between the main shaft and bearing bush. To prevent excessive wear, an oil film of sufficient thickness must be established between the sliding surfaces to separate them and reduce wear. 4. Cooling: Engine oil carries heat back to the oil tank and dissipates it into the air, helping the radiator cool the engine.

How to Get a Driver's License Without Knowing How to Read?

Understand the process and details of the first stage of the driver's license test, which is the common sense exam. Learn that it consists entirely of multiple-choice questions and practice making selections on a computer. Seek help from friends or family members who can read to assist you in understanding the questions, ensuring you grasp their meaning. For visual content, review and memorize it frequently. Note down the characters you recognize and remember distinctive features of those you don't. Continuously identify incorrect answers, remember key terms and images, and have family members correct you promptly to understand the reasons for mistakes.

Does leaving the car window open in the rain affect the vehicle?

Generally speaking, a small amount of rainwater entering the car or even a large-scale water intrusion will not damage the internal wiring system of the vehicle, nor will it affect the mechanical system. Here is relevant information: 1. Reason: Because the car's electrical system is protected by sheathed wires, problems are unlikely to occur easily. If abnormal headlights or other functional abnormalities are noticed while driving, it is advisable to have them inspected and repaired promptly. 2. Treatment method: If the electrical equipment is not affected, simply going to a 4S shop for a drying treatment is sufficient, and generally, the issue is not serious. If rainwater has seeped into the carpets or floor mats, they should be taken out, cleaned, and dried. After addressing the water accumulation issue, it's also necessary to sterilize and disinfect the interior of the car to prevent lingering odors.

What License is Required for Towing a Travel Trailer?

Towing a travel trailer with a length under 6 meters and a total weight under 4500kg requires a C1 driver's license; for trailers over 6 meters long, a B1 license is needed; for trailers exceeding 6 meters, a B2 license is required. Below are the specific details regarding towable travel trailers: 1. License Plate Registration: The registration process for towable travel trailers is similar to that of motor vehicles, following the new vehicle registration procedure—paying purchase tax, compulsory insurance, vehicle inspection, and obtaining a yellow license plate. 2. Road Regulations: Towable travel trailers have the legal right to operate on roads, including highways, with no legal barriers for small passenger cars towing them. Small passenger cars are only permitted to tow travel trailers or trailers with a total weight under 700kg, and the trailer must not carry passengers. Trucks, semi-trailer tractors, and tractors are only allowed to tow one trailer. The trailer's lighting signals, brakes, connections, and safety devices must comply with national standards.
