Here are the reasons why the outside of car windows fogs up in summer: 1. In summer, car fogging is caused by the low temperature setting of the car's air conditioning, which creates a large temperature difference. Additionally, incorrect air conditioning vent direction can contribute to this issue, such as when the vents are directed at the front windshield or the side windows. 2. When this cold air is blown out, it significantly lowers the temperature of the glass area. This cold glass then comes into contact with the relatively high-temperature outside air, and when combined with high humidity, it easily forms a layer of condensation on the outside. Additional Information: The condensation on car windows in summer is different from winter fogging. In summer, the fog mostly forms on the outside of the windows and tends to appear in clusters, rather than covering the entire window surface. This is the biggest difference between summer and winter window fogging.

Are Car Antifreeze and Coolant the Same?

Car coolant and antifreeze are not the same. Coolant is a liquid that cools the engine, while antifreeze, whose full name is antifreeze coolant, is a liquid that prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block when the car is parked in cold winter. Below are the differences between coolant and antifreeze: 1. Coolant only has a cooling function, while antifreeze has both cooling and antifreeze functions. 2. Coolant can be water or antifreeze. If coolant is water, it will be affected by cold seasons. Antifreeze is a coolant with antifreeze function and can be used all year round. 3. Coolant is composed of ethylene glycol, dye, pure water, and coolant additives.

Can You Still Drive When the Transmission Warning Light Is On?

When the transmission warning light comes on, it is not recommended to continue driving. However, whether you can keep driving when the transmission warning light is on depends on the specific situation. Generally, minor issues will trigger a yellow warning light, while more serious problems will trigger a red warning light. Here are the recommended actions for different scenarios: 1. If the light is yellow, you can continue driving for a short period. However, maintain a low speed and visit a 4S shop or professional auto repair shop as soon as possible. 2. If the light is red, it is advisable to stop immediately, call for assistance, and have the vehicle towed. Continuing to drive in this condition can easily damage the transmission, and in severe cases, a complete replacement may be required.

What is the Principle of Electrochemical Corrosion?

Electrochemical corrosion occurs when a metal material comes into contact with an electrolyte solution, leading to corrosion through electrode reactions. Here is a partial introduction to electrochemical corrosion: 1. Introduction: Electrochemical corrosion is a type of redox reaction. In this reaction, the metal loses electrons and becomes oxidized, a process known as the anodic reaction. The products of this reaction are metal ions that enter the medium or metal oxides (or insoluble metal salts) that form on the metal surface. Substances in the medium gain electrons from the metal surface and become reduced, a process known as the cathodic reaction. 2. Characteristics of the Reaction Process: Under certain conditions, oxidizers in non-electrolytes directly interact with atoms on the metal surface to form corrosion products.
