Why does the pump fail to inflate and also leak air?
1 Answers
If the pump fails to inflate and also leaks air, it may be because the pump and the valve are not properly connected, preventing the compressed air from entering the valve. Alternatively, it could be due to a poor connection between the pump and the valve, causing air leakage. Here is more information about car inflation: 1. Reason: Household cars generally use low-pressure tires with a tire pressure of 2.2-3.0 bar, while bicycle tires usually have a pressure of 3.5-4.5 bar, which is higher than car tires. Therefore, using an ordinary bicycle pump to inflate car tires is perfectly feasible as long as the valve type matches. 2. Working principle: The pump draws air into its storage chamber by pulling and then pushes the air into or replenishes the air required for various tires and some balls. When the outer tube is lifted, air enters the pump through small holes at the bottom of the outer tube. When the handle is pushed down, the air passes through a one-way valve at the top of the inner tube and flows through the hose into the tire valve. 3. Pump introduction: The pump is an air pump (inflator) that draws air into its storage chamber by pulling and then pushes the air into or replenishes the air required for various tires and some balls. The most common pumps nowadays are made of stainless steel, mainly because stainless steel has strong oxidation resistance, a long service life, is rust-proof, corrosion-resistant, not easily deformed, lead-free, safe, hard, wear-resistant, and durable, making it widely used for various balls, bicycles, motorcycles, etc.
