It should be condensation water. The following is a related introduction to car air conditioning: 1. Air conditioning layout: Different types of air conditioning systems have different layout methods. Currently, cars widely use integrated heating and cooling air conditioning systems. The layout involves assembling components such as the evaporator, heater radiator, centrifugal blower, and control mechanism together, known as the air conditioning unit assembly. 2. Air conditioning components: Modern air conditioning systems consist of a refrigeration system, heating system, ventilation and air purification devices, and a control system. Car air conditioning generally includes components such as the compressor, electronically controlled clutch, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, receiver-drier, pipelines, condenser fan, vacuum solenoid valve, idle speed controller, and control system. Car air conditioning is divided into high-pressure and low-pressure pipelines. The high-pressure side includes the compressor output side, high-pressure pipelines, condenser, receiver-drier, and liquid pipelines; the low-pressure side includes the evaporator, accumulator, return pipelines, compressor input side, and compressor oil sump.

What is the difference between semi-synthetic oil and fully synthetic oil?

The differences between semi-synthetic oil and fully synthetic oil are: 1. Different base oils: Semi-synthetic oil uses Group III base oil; fully synthetic oil is a mixture of Group III, IV, and V base oils. 2. Different replacement intervals: Semi-synthetic oil should be replaced every six months or 7,500 kilometers during use; fully synthetic oil should be replaced every year or 10,000 kilometers during use. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and act as a shock absorber in the engine. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. The engine operates at high temperatures internally, with the cylinders cooled by the cooling system. However, certain internal components cannot rely on the cooling system and can only dissipate heat through the circulation of engine oil.

Can You Downshift Directly from 3rd to 1st Gear?

Downshifting directly from 3rd to 1st gear is possible. Detailed steps for gear shifting while releasing the throttle are as follows: Upshifting: Release the throttle, depress the clutch, upshift, release the clutch, and press the throttle. For downshifting, release the throttle, depress the clutch, lightly press the brake, downshift, and release the clutch. Apply throttle as needed. When shifting gears, always release the throttle, as operating a manual transmission car without releasing the throttle is difficult. Downshifting: Release the throttle, lightly press the brake to control the speed within the range suitable for the target gear, depress the clutch, engage the corresponding gear, and then gradually release the clutch. Downshifting is a deceleration process, but it doesn't mean completely ignoring the throttle pedal. After completing the shift and fully releasing the clutch pedal, you need to immediately press the throttle pedal to achieve smooth power transition.
