The supercharger is installed at the intake end of the car engine. Composition of the Supercharger: The turbocharger consists of a turbine, a compressor, as well as shafts and bearings, a lubrication system, a cooling system, seals, insulation devices, and other components. The high-temperature, high-speed exhaust gas discharged from the internal combustion engine cylinders is supplied to the turbine of the turbocharger through the exhaust pipe, driving the turbine to rotate. The turbine, in turn, drives the compressor impeller, which is on the same shaft, to rotate. Main Function of the Turbocharger: Its primary purpose is to increase the engine's air intake, thereby enhancing the engine's power and torque, making the car more powerful. After installing a turbocharger on an engine, its maximum power can increase by 40% or more compared to when it was not equipped with a supercharger. This means that the same engine can output greater power after being turbocharged.

Can Gasoline Be Purchased for Storage?

Gasoline can be purchased for storage. However, it is not recommended to store it at home. Gasoline is highly flammable and volatile, making it extremely unsafe to keep in residential areas. Introduction to Gasoline: Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from the fractional distillation and cracking of petroleum, used as fuel. Appearance of Gasoline: It appears as a transparent, flammable liquid with a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. The main components are C5 to C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Gasoline has a high octane number (anti-knock combustion performance) and is classified into different grades based on octane ratings, such as 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, and 98. Starting from January 2012, the gasoline grades 90, 93, and 97 were revised to 89, 92, and 95, respectively.

Why is there rust inside the wheels of a new car?

It is normal for the steel rims inside new car tires to have surface rust, as they are made of cast iron, and this generally does not affect their normal use. Many car models use aluminum alloy to make the wheel hubs. The advantage of aluminum alloy is that it is sturdy and durable, but the downside is that it is susceptible to acid. Aluminum is easily oxidized when exposed to acid, and if placed in a strong acidic environment, aluminum alloy wheel hubs can indeed corrode. Specific details are as follows: 1. Rust condition: If the rust on the brake disc is minimal, no special treatment is needed, as the slight rust will be removed during braking while driving. If the rust is more severe, it may cause vibrations or shaking during braking, such as brake pad vibration, steering wheel vibration or shaking, or body vibration. 2. Timely maintenance: Severe rust is difficult to remove through braking, and even if the rust is removed, it may cause brake vibration due to uneven thickness of the brake disc. Therefore, it is necessary to perform maintenance on the brake disc every two months to prevent the rust from becoming too severe.

What does automatic headlight on/off mean?

Car manufacturers have installed a photosensitive control system for the headlights to facilitate users, which can automatically turn on and off according to the brightness of the light. This is called "automatic headlights". Most high-end vehicles are equipped with this feature. Introduction to automatic headlight on/off: For cars equipped with automatic headlights, when the light becomes dim during driving, the headlights will automatically turn on, and when the light becomes bright, they will automatically turn off. Principle of automatic headlights: Electronic components such as photoresistors are used as sensors and installed behind the rearview mirror inside the car. They send electronic signals to the ECU (electronic control unit), similar to a computer CPU, to inform the ECU whether to turn on or off the headlights, or to switch between high and low beams. The ECU controls the headlight switch and beam changes. When driving, if the light suddenly becomes dim, the headlights will automatically turn on, and when the light is sufficient, they will automatically turn off. Additionally, during nighttime encounters with other vehicles, the headlights may automatically switch between high and low beams.

What to Do When the Left Rear Tire of an Audi Has Insufficient Pressure?

Audi Q3 tire pressure is insufficient. First, check if the tire pressure is adequate. If it is insufficient, it needs to be replenished. After inflating, you can reset it via the MMI settings. Press the car button and select 'Store Tire Pressure' to proceed. If the TPMS light on the dashboard is on, a system upgrade at a 4S shop is required. The standard tire pressure for an Audi Q3 is around 2.5, with a normal fluctuation range of ±0.2. The hazards of excessive tire pressure are as follows: 1. Tire damage: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tire, affecting braking performance; causing steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort. 2. Accelerated tire wear: Accelerates localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components. 3. Accelerated tire deformation: Causes excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. 4. Performance degradation: When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, leading to internal cracks and blowouts, resulting in a tire burst.

How to Identify Tire Specifications?

Here is an introduction to the methods for identifying tire specifications: 1. Most tire model markings look like: 205/55R16, and the meanings of these numbers are: (1) 205 indicates the tire section width, the unit is mm, generally the width of the tire is between 145—285mm, with intervals of 10mm. (2) 55 is the aspect ratio, which is the ratio of the tire sidewall height to the tire section width. (3) R indicates that the tire has a radial structure, and 16 is the outer diameter of the wheel, the unit is inches. 2. Letters or symbols with other special meanings: (1) "X" indicates a high-pressure tire. (2) "C" indicates a reinforced type. (3) "B" indicates a bias-ply tire. (4) "—" indicates a low-pressure tire. (5) M and S are abbreviations for Mud and Snow in English, indicating that this type of tire is suitable for use on snowy, icy, and muddy roads. 3. Some tires have arrows or the word OUTERSIDE marked on the sidewall, indicating the rotation direction of the tire.

How Long Can You Run the Air Conditioner on a Full Tank of Gas While Idling?

A full tank of gas can typically power the air conditioner for about 4 hours while the car is idling. It is advisable to run the car's air conditioner for no more than 15 minutes while parked, as prolonged use can lead to poor heat dissipation and potential damage to the engine. Here are some tips for using the car's air conditioner effectively: 1. Ventilate before turning on the AC: After the car has been exposed to prolonged sunlight, open all four doors and the sunroof for about 3 minutes to allow air circulation. This helps quickly lower the interior temperature, making the AC more effective when turned on. 2. Use the recirculation mode wisely: The recirculation mode blocks outside hot air, creating a closed space inside the car. This allows the air inside to circulate quickly under the AC's effect, leading to faster cooling. Once the interior temperature has dropped, it's recommended to switch to the fresh air mode every 30 minutes to refresh the air inside. After 5 minutes, switch back to recirculation. 3. Turn off the AC in advance: Shut off the air conditioner about 5 minutes before stopping the car. This protects the engine and saves fuel.
