How do vehicles remove snow and prevent freezing after snow?

Snow removal and antifreeze

The recent heavy snow has brought great trouble to the citizens of Shencheng. In this snowstorm, the temperature did not drop immediately with the snow, so the snow that fell to the ground froze in Huasong before it was covered with snow. For car owners in Shencheng, having a garage is much happier than not having one. Looking at their cars covered with thick "armor", many car owners can only silently grieve. Broom, hot water, spatula, all available tools were taken out by the owner, and the action to save the car began to be staged in winter.

In the face of a car crash, if it is only covered by Bo Xue, it is relatively easy for the owner to deal with it. After sweeping the snow with a broom, just start the car, turn it on after the wind stops, turn up the warm air of the air conditioner, and blow dry the Yu Shuang on the windshield. But in this snowy weather, the doors, wipers and even tires of many vehicles are frozen. Defrost the front windshield and window in the wrong way: the front windshield is covered with ice and snow, and use a wiper to remove the snow. Using the wiper will cause serious damage to its rubber strip and other plastic parts, and will also damage the front windshield. The correct way: the car can be equipped with a special ice shovel for automobile glass or a hard plastic scraper to remove ice and snow.

To avoid scratching the glass, keep moving in the same direction when using snow shovel or plastic scraper, and don't scratch it indiscriminately. When the window freezes and cannot land, turn on the air conditioner heater and wait until it melts slowly before trying to avoid damaging plastic parts such as rubber strips. Defrosting method of wiper, wrong way: the wiper is stuck to the windshield by snow water, and it can be defrosted by washing it directly with hot water. This practice is actually a very harmful way to thaw cars. Because the temperature on the window is low at this time, it is easy to crack the window with hot water washing, and the wiper is deformed due to temperature change.

The correct way: turn the air conditioner to the maximum hot air, and turn it to the front windshield air outlet mode to let the wiper turn on naturally. Shenyang evening news reporter would also like to remind you that the wiper should be turned off before parking. Some car owners forgot to turn off the wiper, and when they started the car the next day, the wiper automatically turned on. In this case, the frozen wiper is easy to burn out. In case of heavy snow, stop at night to support the wiper blade if necessary to avoid freezing. Unfreeze the door and lock core, wrong way: hard sliding door or hard twist lock.

Although most cars are electronic locks now, some old cars still use car locks. Car locks are most likely to freeze in rainy and snowy weather or just after washing cars in winter. Like this blizzard, the doors and handlebars of vehicles are frozen and the doors cannot be opened. Once you pull the door hard or twist the lock with brute force, it will do great harm to your car.

The correct way: use hair dryer, alcohol and glass water in winter. For a car lock with a key, the easiest way is to find a hair dryer and blow hot air into the keyhole. Zeng Qiang, an auto supplies supermarket in Meizhan, told shenyang evening news that if the door is frozen by the residual water at the crack of the door, you can pour the frozen place with glass water at any time in winter and gently pull the door until it is loose.

For the car keyhole that has been frozen, you can wipe it with a small amount of alcohol to thaw it. Shenyang evening news reporter also wants to remind you that after washing the car in winter, try to blow dry the car body thoroughly with an air gun to avoid freezing. If your conditions permit, parking your car in the garage for the night or buying a coat for your car are the best ways to protect your car for the winter.
