I. Composition of the Air Conditioning System & Introduction to Components Composition of the Air Conditioning System: Automotive air conditioning systems typically comprise the following components: compressor, condenser, receiver-drier, expansion valve, evaporator, blower fan, throttle valve, and ventilation system. Introduction to Air Conditioning System Components—HVAC Air Conditioning Ass...
Adding a turbocharger kit to your vehicle is a complex and intricate process. Forced induction conversion (adding a turbocharger or supercharger) should be undertaken with meticulous care and a thorough understanding of the concepts required for the system to function smoothly. Below is an explanation of the fundamental components that should be included in any basic turbocharger kit and their res...
How does a turbocharger work? Turbocharging works by compressing air, enabling the engine to accommodate greater volumes of air. This facilitates thorough mixing and combustion of fuel and air, thereby enhancing the engine's power output. What are the advantages and disadvantages of turbocharging? The advantages include an engine power increase of over 30%, with theoretically more complete combust...
The steering systems fitted to motor vehicles can broadly be categorised into three types: (1) Mechanical hydraulic power steering systems; (2) Electro-hydraulic power steering systems; (3) Electric power steering systems. I.Electric Power Steering System (EPS) 1. The full English name is Electronic Power Steering, abbreviated as EPS. It utilises power generated by an electric motor to assis...
Design considerations must encompass not only manufacturing processes but also the ease of assembly for OEMs. During the trial production phase of a new automotive model, frequent assembly difficulties arose with the air conditioning refrigeration piping, leading to substantial redesign costs later on. By implementing synchronous engineering for final assembly, virtual assembly analysis and design...
The engine generates power by burning fuel within the cylinders to perform work. As the amount of fuel input is constrained by the volume of air drawn into the cylinders, the engine's power output is consequently limited. Should the engine's operating performance already be at its optimum state, increasing output power can only be achieved by compressing more air into the cylinders to increase the...
1. Power steering feels heavy or lacks assistance Fault Symptom: The steering becomes heavy, with a brief loss of hydraulic assistance. Cause of malfunction: ① Oil pump V-belt slack ② Oil reservoir level too low ③ Insufficient oil pump pressure ④ Pressure control sticking ⑤ Excessive external leakage ⑥ Excessive internal leakage ⑦ Steering shaft bushing too tight ⑧ Front suspension deformation ⑨ A...
When reviewing the specification sheet, have you noticed an entry labelled ‘Power Steering Type’? Common options in this section include mechanical hydraulic power steering, electronic hydraulic power steering, and electric power steering. What exactly does ‘Power Steering Type’ refer to? What do these three variants represent? What are the differences and respective advantages and disadvantages o...
The automotive market is becoming increasingly competitive, with the air conditioning system representing a crucial component of the vehicle. Within this system, the piping network constitutes an indispensable element of its development, serving to facilitate the circulation between the blower and compressor, as well as between the evaporator and engine. This article primarily outlines the develop...
Should You Get an Alignment After Getting New Shocks and Struts? The short answer is—it depends on the type of suspension your car has. If the tires are wearing evenly and there is no steering pull or wander, an alignment isn’t typically necessary. On some vehicles, the installation of new shocks and struts may affect your car’s wheel alignment.However, there are some instances whe...
