The exhaust gas valve is adhesively bonded to the valve cover. Introduction to the exhaust gas valve: The exhaust gas valve, also known as the oil-gas separator or pressure control valve, is installed between the compressor outlet and the condenser inlet. It improves heat transfer efficiency in the condenser and evaporator by separating oil and gas. Its function is to allow a portion of the exhaust gas to recirculate back into the cylinder for combustion. This small amount of exhaust gas reduces the combustion temperature in the cylinder and lowers the NOX content in the exhaust emissions. Consequences of a damaged exhaust gas valve: When the exhaust gas valve is damaged, it can cause the car to burn engine oil, resulting in blue smoke from the exhaust pipe. The exhaust gas valve serves to separate oil and gas. Under normal operation, it only draws in exhaust gas without sucking in oil. If the exhaust gas valve is damaged, it loses its oil-gas separation function, potentially drawing in oil along with the gas. This allows oil to enter the combustion chamber, leading to oil burning and blue smoke emission.

High Beam or Low Beam on Highways?

Use high beams on highways, but switch to low beams when the distance to the preceding vehicle is within 100 meters. Highway streetlights are not densely distributed, resulting in poor visibility. The illumination range of low beams is about 30 meters, which can easily lead to accidents. In contrast, high beams have a longer illumination range of approximately 100 meters, providing sufficient distance to handle sudden situations. During extreme weather conditions, use lights cautiously. In heavy fog, for instance, high beams can cause light scattering, making it impossible to see anything in front of the car. In such cases, the appropriate action is to proceed slowly with low beams.

How Often Should You Refill AdBlue?

There is no strict time regulation, but generally, you should replenish the AdBlue solution when the remaining level drops below approximately 20%. Here’s some relevant information about AdBlue: 1. Function of AdBlue: AdBlue plays a crucial role in the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system of diesel vehicles, where it helps convert nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust into harmless nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O) before emission. 2. Precautions: Under normal circumstances, AdBlue is harmless to humans. If it comes into contact with the skin, simply rinse it off with plenty of soapy water or clean water. However, it must not come into contact with the eyes or be ingested. In high-temperature conditions, AdBlue may release ammonia gas (NH3), which can have corrosive and irritating effects on human skin tissue. Prolonged exposure to ammonia gas may lead to symptoms such as skin pigmentation or ulcers.
