It is normal for a car air conditioner to emit cold air. Since the indoor air is relatively humid, when the low-temperature cold air blown out by the air conditioner meets the humid air, it becomes atomized, forming mist, which looks like white smoke. If the outside air is very humid, it is easy for the air vent to emit a white gas without any noticeable cooling effect. Relevant information about car air conditioners is as follows: 1. Introduction: The car air conditioning device (air-conditioning-device), referred to as car air conditioning. 2. Function: It is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and air flow inside the car compartment to the optimal state, providing passengers with a comfortable riding environment and reducing travel fatigue; it creates good working conditions for the driver and plays an important role in ensuring safe driving as a ventilation device.

I've been driving for over twenty years and have a lot of experience with car air conditioning. The cold air coming from the car AC is actually the result of its normal working principle: the compressor compresses the refrigerant into a high-pressure gas, which then dissipates heat through the condenser and turns into a liquid. It then enters the evaporator, expands, and absorbs heat. At this point, the fan blows the hot air inside the car over the surface of the evaporator, lowering the temperature, and cold air comes out of the vents. However, attention must be paid to details, such as whether the refrigerant is sufficient and whether there are any leaks in the pipes. If the refrigerant leaks, the cold air will become weaker or not cold at all. The compressor is driven by the engine, and its effectiveness is reduced when the engine speed is insufficient. Problems are more likely to occur during the high temperatures of summer. I often remind my friends to regularly replace the AC filter to avoid dust clogging and affecting ventilation. If cold air comes out but there is a hissing sound or an unpleasant odor, it's time to check for aging seals or bacterial growth. Timely cleaning can avoid expensive repairs.

How to Check Volkswagen Genuine Parts?

Genuine parts manufacturers have fixed retail prices for parts within a certain region, and some even have nationwide uniform pricing. The price difference for the same type of products from different manufacturers is minimal. Genuine parts packaging is relatively standardized, with the product name, specifications, quantity, registered trademark, manufacturer's name and address, and contact number clearly marked on the packaging. The printing, engraving, or casting marks on the surface of genuine parts are clear and are the result of obvious mechanical work. Some parts may also have assembly marks engraved on their surfaces. Counterfeiters may simply process and refurbish used parts before selling them as new. If the surface paint is not smooth and even, or has small bumps, it is definitely a refurbished part. Check the surface of the part for rust. Qualified parts have both precision and smoothness on their mating surfaces, with more important parts having higher precision.

What is the difference between violation photography and speed limit photography?

The differences between violation photography and speed limit photography are as follows: 1. Different cameras: Speed limit photography and surveillance photography use two different types of cameras. 2. Different photography methods: Speed limit photography uses high-speed, high-sensitivity cameras and flashlights with sensing devices. The photography device is equipped with induction coils (sensors), which automatically trigger the flash when a vehicle is detected. Surveillance photography uses conventional cameras, primarily for observing traffic flow and road conditions. For surveillance photography, at least 3 or more photos are required to prove speeding. 3. Different purposes: Speed limit photography aims to prevent speeding, while violation photography aims to prevent violations. On ordinary roads, speed limits of 70 and 50 are the most common.
