Water discharged from the air conditioner will not damage the car paint if it drips on the car for a long time. Here is the relevant information: 1. Reason: The air conditioner water is formed by the condensation of moisture in the air on the evaporator. The air conditioner water is pure water and non-corrosive. Additionally, the car body's anti-rust technology is very mature, so it has no effect on the car paint. However, it is best not to let it drip every day. 2. Reason for excessive air conditioner water: Because the car's cooling system is located inside the dashboard, it is equipped with an evaporator. When the air conditioner is turned on, the surface temperature of the evaporator is very low. The moisture in the hot air inside the car will condense on the surface of the evaporator's heat-absorbing fins and be collected by the plastic casing of the evaporator, then drained out of the car through a pipe.

Why is a ventilation device installed in the engine crankcase?

Engine crankcase ventilation device is installed to extend the service life of the engine oil, reduce component wear, prevent oil leakage, recover unburned gases in the crankcase, and reduce exhaust pollution. Therefore, the crankcase needs to be ventilated, hence the installation of a ventilation device. The method of engine crankcase ventilation utilizes the vacuum effect of the engine intake pipe to draw out the gases from the crankcase and then introduces fresh air. The most widely used method is the closed forced ventilation system, which involves installing a one-way valve at the crankcase air inlet. This valve only allows outside air to enter the crankcase and prevents gases inside the crankcase from being discharged into the atmosphere, keeping the crankcase in a fully enclosed state.

Is it okay to drive through deep water?

It is generally safe for a car to drive through deep water for a short period. However, after wading through water, you shouldn't just drive away. Upon reaching a safe road surface, perform a simple inspection of the vehicle. Since the braking system's performance can be affected after passing through water, the vehicle should continue to drive at a low speed for a distance and lightly press the brake pedal several times to allow friction between the brake pads and discs, evaporating or drying off any water attached to them to restore normal braking ability as quickly as possible. Additional Notes: 1. Observe the depth of the water: During the rainy season, especially in heavy rain, low-lying areas, under overpasses, and tunnels often accumulate water. Avoid driving through large areas of deep water recklessly. 2. Prevent engine stalling: The basic requirement for driving through water is to keep the engine RPM high to avoid stalling and maintain a low speed to minimize water surface disturbance. 3. Do not follow the vehicle in front too closely: When driving through water, maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead and increase the lateral distance from oncoming vehicles to prevent water waves from causing high-voltage wire leakage, which could lead to engine stalling.

What are the general length and width of large vehicles?

According to the unified requirements of the seven national ministries and commissions, highway overload control has been implemented. As per relevant regulations, the total weight of a six-axle truck and its cargo must not exceed 55 tons. The length limit for general trucks and semi-trailer tractors is 12 meters, the width limit is 2.5 meters, and the height limit is 4 meters. Here are additional details: 1. Dimensions of a 2.5-ton truck: Length 4.2 meters × Width 1.9 meters × Height 1.8 meters (distance from the ground to the truck bed is 1.1 meters), actual load capacity: 3 tons/12 cubic meters; 2. Dimensions of a 3.5-ton truck: Length 6.2 meters × Width 2.0 meters × Height 2 meters, actual load capacity: 5 tons/30 cubic meters (distance from the ground to the truck bed is 1.1 meters).

Is Taiwan Left-Hand Drive or Right-Hand Drive?

Taiwan adopts left-hand drive vehicles, with cars driving on the right side of the road, while Hong Kong and Macau use right-hand drive vehicles, driving on the left. Taiwan's left-hand drive system: 1. Our country's traffic regulations stipulate that vehicles must drive on the right side, with the steering wheel on the left, making it easier for drivers to judge the distance from oncoming vehicles and reduce collision risks; 2. It also provides a clearer view of oncoming traffic when overtaking. However, some countries like the UK, Malaysia, and Singapore mandate left-side driving, naturally placing the steering wheel on the right; 3. Right-hand drive vehicles are not exclusive to foreign countries. Due to historical and national conditions, right-hand drive vehicles were commonly seen in China for a long time, meaning some drivers in China possess the "skill" of driving right-hand drive cars. It wasn't until 2008 that traffic regulations completely banned domestically registered right-hand drive vehicles from the roads.

How often should brake drums be replaced?

Brake drums generally need to be replaced approximately every 5 years or around 100,000 kilometers, but the replacement interval should also be determined based on wear conditions. The brake drum is the friction mating part of a drum brake system. In addition to requiring the necessary strength and stiffness as a structural component, it should also possess as high and stable a friction coefficient as possible, along with appropriate wear resistance, heat resistance, heat dissipation, and thermal capacity. The brake is the component in the braking system that generates the force to resist vehicle movement or the tendency of movement. Except for various retarder devices, almost all automotive brakes are friction brakes that generate braking torque through the friction between fixed components and the working surfaces of rotating components. Currently, friction brakes widely used in various types of vehicles can be divided into two major categories based on the rotating components: drum brakes and disc brakes.
