Why is the low pressure of car air conditioning too high?

There may be several reasons for the high low pressure in car air conditioning: 1. Low pressure drop: If the high pressure rises after adding some oil and the low pressure drops, it may be due to a blocked expansion valve. This could be caused by a failed dryer (receiver-drier), with dirt or possibly metal particles from compressor wear entering the expansion valve and causing blockage. It is recommended to replace the expansion valve and dryer, and perform a no-disassembly cleaning of the air conditioning system pipeline. A failed temperature sensing switch may keep the valve in a normally closed state. Replace the expansion valve and dryer. 2. Low pressure rise: If the high pressure rises slightly after adding oil and the low pressure also rises, there may be air in the pipeline or poor sealing allowing air to enter. The system should be rechecked for leaks, evacuated, and refilled with refrigerant. Blockage in the pipeline system, a blocked or faulty expansion valve should be addressed by replacing the expansion valve and cleaning the pipeline. Another typical symptom is heavy condensation or frost (ice) on the low-pressure pipe. Replace the expansion valve.

Can the ETC card be removed after installation?

The ETC card can indeed be removed, but the ETC device will not function without it. According to the "Rules for the Use of Non-Stop Rapid Passage Systems," the ETC card must be inserted into the OBU (On-Board Unit) device for normal operation; otherwise, user information cannot be read. If the card is removed, you can use the manual lane and have the staff swipe the card for you. When the ETC card is inserted into the OBU device, a prompt sound will indicate that the device is activated. Without the card, the device remains in a dormant state and cannot recognize vehicle information at toll stations, rendering the ETC system unusable. ETC is a non-stop electronic toll collection system, also known as an automatic road tolling system. It is specifically designed for toll roads, commonly found on highways, toll bridges or tunnels, and certain urban sections to alleviate traffic congestion. ETC Billing Principle: Highways have one or more ETC lanes. Communication between the vehicle's electronic tag (mounted on the windshield) and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane enables backend settlement with banks via computer networking technology. This allows vehicles to pass toll stations without stopping, operating on a "pass first, deduct later" principle. Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues. Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions by minimizing stops at toll stations. Cost-saving: Lowers wear and tear, fuel consumption, and offers a 5% discount on toll fees. Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically process vehicles 2-3 times faster, making the system more advanced compared to traditional methods or license plate payment. Policy support: The State Council's "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Integrated Transport System" aims for 50% ETC adoption rate among passenger vehicles by 2020, with further integration into smart transportation systems like vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. Future possibilities: Beyond increasing ETC adoption, future plans include expanding ETC use to trucks and integrating it with smart traffic solutions for comprehensive travel services, unlocking more application scenarios.

Can I Transfer to Another Driving School After Enrollment?

Students have the right to transfer to another driving school, which is one of their fundamental rights. The transfer process is relatively straightforward. Here are the relevant details: 1. Penalty Fee: If a student hasn't taken any subject exams and requests a transfer due to personal reasons, they will be charged a penalty fee of 20% of the tuition. 2. Regulations: For students who have already participated in Subject 2 training, if the training hours haven't exceeded one-third of the total Subject 2 hours and the training period hasn't exceeded 90 days, in addition to deducting the file setup fee, service fee, and theoretical training fee, an additional fee of 60-80 yuan per hour will be charged for practical vehicle training.

How to Drive a Manual Transmission Car for Fuel Efficiency?

Warm up the engine before starting, accelerate gently, maintain an economical speed, lift the throttle lightly, shift gears promptly, minimize brake usage, keep a safe following distance, and drive in higher gears to save fuel. Here is more information about manual transmission: 1. Precautions: Do not stare at the gear lever while shifting, never shift gears if the speed is insufficient, and coast in gear. 2. Brief Description: A car that uses a manual shift mechanical transmission (also known as manual transmission, MT) to regulate speed requires manually moving the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes.

Who Actually Invented the Rotary Engine?

German engineer Felix Wankel successfully developed the world's first rotary engine in 1957 and obtained the patent. Introduction to rotary engines: 1. Advantages: The rotor of a rotary engine performs power stroke once per rotation, compared to conventional four-stroke engines that require two rotations per power stroke. This gives it a higher power-to-displacement ratio (smaller engine size can deliver greater power output). 2. Characteristics: Due to the axial operation characteristics of rotary engines, they can achieve higher operating speeds without requiring precise crankshaft balancing. The entire engine has only two moving components, representing significant structural simplification compared to conventional four-stroke engines with over twenty moving parts including intake/exhaust valves, thereby greatly reducing potential failures. Beyond these advantages, rotary engines also feature compact size, lightweight construction, and low center of gravity.

Is it necessary to install a reverse parking sensor when you already have a reverse camera?

Yes, a reverse parking sensor is still necessary. Here are the reasons: 1. Monitoring area: The reverse camera can only display images within a fixed range, while the reverse parking sensor can monitor a larger area, enhancing safety during reverse parking by providing audible alerts when obstacles are detected. 2. Flexibility: The reverse camera only activates automatically when the vehicle is shifted into reverse gear, making it rarely used during normal driving. The reverse camera effectively provides a video feed to observe the rear situation, thereby improving safety during reverse parking.
