The Atkinson engine was invented and manufactured in the United States. The Atkinson cycle is a high-compression-ratio, long-expansion-stroke internal combustion engine cycle. The longer expansion stroke more effectively utilizes the residual high pressure of exhaust gases after combustion, resulting in high fuel efficiency. However, traditional Atkinson cycle engines have weaker low-speed torque output. Below is relevant information about the Atkinson engine: 1. Features: The most notable characteristic of the Atkinson engine is that its expansion ratio is greater than its compression ratio. The longer expansion stroke allows more effective utilization of the high pressure still present in exhaust gases after combustion, leading to high fuel efficiency. 2. Imported and Domestic: Atkinson engines are available both as imported and domestically produced. Originally, most engines used the Otto cycle technology. With the advancement of automotive technology, Atkinson invented the technology where the expansion ratio is greater than the compression ratio, known as the Atkinson cycle technology. In China, there are also studies and applications of this technology, such as engines produced by Changan.

What does 'ready' mean on a car?

'Ready' on a car indicates that the vehicle has completed all preparations, started successfully, and is ready to go at any time. This is how electric vehicles and hybrid new energy vehicles display their startup status. After a new energy vehicle starts, since there is no engine roar, it is difficult for the owner to determine whether the vehicle has started successfully. Therefore, a 'ready' indicator light is used to inform the driver. Common car dashboard lights include: 1. Tail lights or headlights; 2. High beam indicator; 3. Emergency warning and turn signal indicators, which display when emergency warning lights or turn signals are activated; 4. Front fog lights, located below the front of the vehicle.

What is the flash point of heat transfer oil?

Different types of heat transfer oil have different flash points, with mineral-based oils typically ranging between 190-200. Flash point: Refers to the lowest temperature at which the vapor of an organic heat transfer fluid mixed with air will briefly ignite when exposed to a flame under heating conditions. The lower the flash point, the higher the evaporation rate of the organic heat transfer fluid and the poorer its safety, and vice versa. Additionally, a higher flash point results in less loss of the organic heat transfer fluid during use. Heat transfer oil: Heat transfer oil is a specialized oil with good thermal stability used for indirect heat transfer. It features resistance to thermal cracking and chemical oxidation, excellent heat transfer efficiency, rapid heat dissipation, and outstanding thermal stability.

Why Does My New Electric Car Make a Clicking Noise?

Reasons for clicking noises in a newly purchased electric car are as follows: Interference Between Components: Due to impact or installation of additional equipment, two components may interfere with each other. Solution: Only through reshaping, repair, or replacement of the relevant components can interference be eliminated. Loose Bolts or Nuts: Long-term driving on poor road conditions can naturally loosen bolts; improper disassembly or installation can damage bolts; insufficient tightening torque or incorrect bolt specifications. Solution: Tighten or replace bolts and nuts. Driveshaft Universal Joint Failure: Caused by a broken dust cover or oil leakage not repaired in time. Solution: Replace the driveshaft universal joint with a new one.

Does Seat Heating Have Cold Air?

Seat heating does not have cold air. Here are the relevant details: 1. Heating Design: The basic structure of a seat heater consists of: a lower layer of non-woven fabric, heating wires arranged on the non-woven fabric, fixed in place with adhesive tape, covered with knitted fabric, and stitched with knitting thread into a shape similar to the seat heating area, then sewn into the seat cover. To enhance passenger comfort, the seat heating temperature is controlled within a specific range. 2. Heating Methods: Front Seat Heating: Front seat heating is typically found in vehicles with leather seats. Since leather surfaces can be cold in winter, front seat heating ensures that during freezing winters, sitting down won't be on an icy leather seat. Most electric heating devices come with temperature adjustment features. Rear Seat Heating: Rear seat heating is usually available in luxury cars or high-end models.

What is the size of Fukang audio speakers?

Fukang audio speakers are generally around 5 inches in size. Introduction to car audio: Car audio (autoaudio) is a radio and playback device installed to alleviate the boredom of drivers and passengers during travel. The earliest version used was the car AM radio, later followed by AM/FM radios, tape players, and evolved to CD players and digital audio systems compatible with DCC and DAT. Nowadays, car audio has reached high standards in sound quality, operation, and vibration resistance, capable of withstanding the bumps on rough roads while ensuring stable performance and perfect sound quality. Precautions for using car audio: Do not start the car with the audio turned on. The instantaneous current during vehicle startup is very high and may damage the audio equipment. After starting the vehicle, avoid using high volume immediately. Try to use high-quality CDs. When inserting or ejecting a CD in a single-disc CD player, let the machine automatically take in or eject the disc; do not pull forcefully to avoid damage. When driving on gravel roads or very bumpy surfaces, turn off the CD player. Continuous vibrations may cause misalignment of the CD player's optical axis.
