Quite rightly, when the temperatures drop, driving associations and motoring services throughout Europe are quick to raise awareness of best practice principles when driving in winter conditions. So, what do they recommend? Winter Driving Tips Key tips for preparation Keep an eye on your fuel Behind the wheel Quite rightly, when the temperatures drop, driving associations and motoring services throughout Europe are quick to raise awareness of best practice principles when…
Ignition wires must conduct the necessary voltage (U) to the spark plug with minimum possible losses. Depending on how the vehicle is designed, this is achieved using: A mechanical spark distributor... combustor,hybrid Safety Environmental protection Depreciation Function The location in which ignition wires are installed exposes them to high levels of stress and strain. At first glance, the external appearance of ignition wires and ignition cable harnesses belies the complexity…
The crankshaft drive is the complete mechanism which converts the up and down movement of the piston in the engine into the rotary motion of the crankshaft. combustor,hybrid Function Value Retention The crankshaft drive transfers the power generated from the combustion of the fuel-air mixture via the pistons and the connecting rods to the crankshaft: the up and down movement of the piston is converted into a rotary motion of the crankshaft and a torque in the process. The…
The combustion of fuel in the internal combustion engine of a hybrid vehicle produces pollutants. Exhaust gas recirculation is a method of reducing pollutant emissions from an internal combustion engine. combustor,hybrid Safety Function Environmental protection Depreciation Faults in the exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR system for short) are shown by the malfunction indicator light. They can be noticed due to jerking, uneven idling or lack of power. Vehicles affected by…
The catalytic converter consists of a stainless steel housing and is a key component of modern exhaust aftertreatment systems for petrol and diesel engines. It ensures that harmful exhaust emissions from combustion engines are converted into harmless gases. combustor,hybrid Function Safety Depreciation Environmental protection The catalytic converter is responsible for chemically converting harmful exhaust gases from combustion engines into less harmful substances. Catalytic…
In general terms, the throttle valve must regulate the air or mixture supply for the combustion engine. Depending on the engine concept, this serves different purposes. In the case of petrol engines... combustor,hybrid Function Depreciation Safety Environmental protection In general terms, the throttle valve must regulate the air or mixture supply for the combustion engine . Depending on the engine concept, this serves different purposes. In the case of petrol engines, speed and…
In petrol engine vehicles, secondary air injection is a proven method of reducing harmful substance emissions during cold starting. A petrol engine needs a "rich mixture" for reliable cold starting... combustor,hybrid Depreciation Safety Function Environmental protectionThe secondary air system is a maintenance-free vehicle system. However, exceeding maintenance intervals, extreme operating conditions, damage to mixture preparation or ignition and the use of poor-quality engine…
Electric car technology has become more and more mainstream in the past five years and, if the Government’s current policy is seen through to a conclusion, will become virtually the only form of car on sale, come 2030. Running and servicing an electric car • What differences should I expect for servicing? • MoT Testing and the EV • Tyres – are they the same? • Batteries – what happens over time? • Breakdowns and emergency kit. Electric car technology has become more and more…
The differential, to be more precise the “differential gear”, is tasked with compensating for the differences in wheel speed on driven axles when cornering. Function combustor,hybrid,electric Function Safety Value retention Protection of the environmentWhen driving round a bend, the wheels on an axle have to travel different lengths: the inner wheel travels a shorter path than the outer wheel. This means that the wheels turn at different speeds. The differential gear, also known…
