, the editor shared with you how to clean your car, the correct car washing process, and what suitable car care products to choose? Today, I want to share with you a tough dish: How does reduce fuel consumption? Air conditioner not working well? It is recommended that you who use a car this summer carefully read this article, then like + follow, and follow the content, it may be helpful.

Reasons for increased fuel consumption
Reason 1: The spark plug is not replaced regularly. Car spark plugs will ignite the mixture during operation. If used improperly for a long time, carbon deposits will occur. Each ignition consumes a large amount of gasoline, resulting in increased fuel consumption. Generally, it must be replaced once every 20,000km of driving.
Reason 2: The car battery is aging. Car battery Aging will affect the work of the spark plug. Insufficient voltage will cause the ignition effect to decrease, ignition will be incomplete, and it will also cause increased fuel consumption in disguise.
Cause 3: The car tires are severely worn and the tire pressure is unstable. Normal tires produce little friction with the road during driving, but severely damaged tires increase the friction between the vehicle and the road, increasing friction and requiring the vehicle to consume more gasoline. Keep moving forward, which is also one of the important reasons for the increase in fuel consumption.
Reason 4: Use of air conditioning. The work of the car air conditioner is essentially to consume the car engine, and the power to press the gas comes from the engine. Therefore, pay attention to the reasonable use of air conditioners.
The above are some points that need to be paid attention to during maintenance, which are also the reasons for improving fuel consumption. But when washing the car, if you pay attention to cleaning these places, it will also bring you a lot of surprises:
Intercooler , which helps the turbine car speed up and stabilize
Let’s first understand what an intercooler is? The intercooler can generally only be seen on turbocharged cars. Its function is to reduce the temperature of the high-temperature air after supercharging to reduce the engine intake air temperature. (the working principle of the picture below)

So, why should the intake air temperature be lowered? Because the working principle of the turbine is to use the exhaust gas discharged from the engine to drive the turbofan in the turbine, and then drive the turbofan at the intake end through a bearing, thus achieving the effect of supercharging the engine and squeezing the engine's power output. The temperature of the fresh exhaust gas discharged from the engine is about 800-900°C. After running for a few hours on a long distance, you should find that the area is a little red. Therefore, it is generally not recommended that you come down from the highway to wash the car. Uncooled supercharged air enters the combustion chamber . In addition to affecting the engine's charging efficiency, it will also cause the engine combustion chamber to be too high, causing knocking and other malfunctions.
Attention! The intercooler is installed at the bottom of the front of the car. It is easy for mosquitoes, dust, catkins, etc. to accumulate on it, causing the heat dissipation effect to decrease. In this way, the temperature of the engine will increase. Coupled with the surrounding summer weather temperature, it will be uncomfortable to step on the accelerator, and you must put your foot on the gas. This will lead to an increase in vehicle fuel consumption. Therefore, it is very important to rinse the catkins and dust on the intercooler with water. The flushing method is also very simple. First, spray the surface of the intercooler with shellac cleaner and neutral iron powder remover, and then let it sit for a few minutes. , adjust the angle of the water gun to rinse the fan.
Condenser makes the air conditioner more cooling.
As the name suggests, it is the component that cools the refrigerant and condenses it into liquid refrigerant. Its function is to complete the heat exchange of the refrigeration system. If the condenser itself does not dissipate heat well and the gaseous refrigerant does not completely turn into liquid, then the high pressure of the air conditioning system is too high. The Yaanli sensor located on the high-pressure pipe captures the high-pressure excess. After it is high, the air conditioner compressor will stop working, which will cause the air conditioning effect to be very poor. Therefore, if you use your car a lot in the summer, you should clean the condenser at least once a week. The reason for its poor heat dissipation is the same as that of the intercooler, which is that dirt blocks the gaps between the radiators.

The radiator tank helps the engine to dissipate heat faster
When we open the engine cover, we will find a pot filled with liquid that is either red or green (depending on the model). This is Coolant , also called antifreeze , is controlled by the coolant if the engine wants to reach an optimal operating temperature.

The position of the coolant radiator tank, the intercooler and the condenser are all at the front of the car, so it is easy to be blocked by mud, gum insect corpses, etc., resulting in poor heat dissipation. Affecting the normal operation of the water tank, if the inside of the radiator tank cannot be cooled down in time, the engine's water pump, thermostat and electronic fan will be forced to operate at maximum flow and maximum power, speeding up the overall circulation speed of the coolant, allowing If the engine temperature does not rise too high, the car's fuel consumption will increase.
Therefore, when using a car in the summer or in the summer, you must flush the intercooler, condenser and radiator tank at the front of the car. I believe that no car wash shop that charges 100 yuan to wash a car will not do this.
