Four Harms of Long-term Idling of Automobile

Four Harms of Long-term Idling of Automobile

Idling for a long time will not only hurt your wallet, but also hurt your health.

Unless the weather is extremely cold and hot, warm air and air conditioning should be blown. It is still recommended not to do this as much as possible. Even if it needs to be idle for a long time, we should pay attention to the relatively correct and scientific methods.

Idling for a long time will make the tail gas more toxic.

1 The hazard of idling for a long time is that the tail gas will be thicker.

It's like: eating junk food occasionally is really harmful, yes, but it's not a big problem. I hope I am happy today; 1 day eating junk food for three meals and 365 days may be wrong.

Wang Luting of Beijing Jiaotong University has a master's thesis "Study on the Impact of Idle Vehicle Emissions on the Atmospheric Environment of Residential Areas", which was mentioned above.

When the motor vehicle is idling, the engine is poor in oxygen and rich in combustion, and poverty means poverty.

At idle speed, the concentration of HC (hydrocarbon) and CO (carbon monoxide) emitted by motor vehicles is higher than that produced under other working conditions.

What do you mean? Simply put, when the car is idling, the exhaust gas is sucked back after being mixed with air, and the combustion condition of the engine becomes worse.

More interestingly, many countries have also introduced anti-idling laws and regulations at this level.

For example, in 20 12, the Spanish Congress passed the Regulation on Penalty for Parking without Developing Motivation, which imposed a fine of 100 euros on motor vehicles parked over 60 seconds, and also stipulated a fine for not developing motivation when there was a serious traffic jam at high speed.

In new york, USA, parking on the roadside for more than 3 minutes without turning off the engine will be fined 125 to $2,000. The fine will be extended according to the number of minutes, and if it is around the school, the law enforcement will be stricter.

In fact, China has such a policy. Article 73 of the Regulations on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution in Beijing stipulates that drivers should turn off their engines if they stop for more than 3 minutes.

Exhaust gas will endanger the health of drivers.

But these are all pollution to the overall environment, right? It seems quite big. For ourselves, idling for a long time will also be harmful to our health.

For example, on June 25th, 2009, 2065438, two men slept in the car with the air conditioner on in the parking lot of Zhong Fang County, Huaihua, Hunan Province. When they were found, the windows were closed and the air conditioner was on. Two men died of lack of oxygen in their brains.

As mentioned in the paper just now, these carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides can induce various respiratory and lung diseases.

Motor vehicle emissions are low-altitude emissions, right? The closer the harmful gas is to people, the greater the harm, especially to drivers in cars with insufficient ventilation.

It's like, imagine a person eating snail powder and stinky tofu in an elevator. Is this rich flavor stronger than usual?

If you like eating snail powder, you don't care, so does smoking.

If it is too hot and cold in summer, the car really needs to idle for a long time and turn on the air conditioner. For your health, you still need to open a small window.

Open the external circulation, open the air volume of the air conditioner, and increase the ventilation volume. Don't worry about gas money, the window is not effective when it is opened, so it costs more gas money. Don't worry about this at this time.

Waste gasoline in vain

In addition to a lot of tail gas endangering the environment and the health of drivers, idling for a long time will waste gasoline in vain, just money!

We used to make a video and test it. The displacement of 20 17 Chevrolet Cruze is 1.5L, and the idling fuel consumption of 1 hour is about 2.4L.

Oil prices are expensive now. According to the average oil price of 5/L in 7 yuan on the 92nd of the previous months, and the idle speed of 1 hour is also 18 yuan, the money for takeout is gone.

I also found some idle fuel consumption per hour of other models for your reference: Volkswagen sagitar 1.4T, 2.72l/h; Volvo S60 2.0T, 2.37L/h; Audi A6L 30FSI,1.39l/h.

Idle fuel consumption is not proportional to the displacement, depending on the specific model, but it is generally impossible to run all over 2L, so I don't know what I ran over, so I have no chance to measure it.

Engine carbon deposition will increase.

Finally, the engine is idling for a long time, which makes it easier to deposit carbon.

Yang Qi of Jilin University has a master's thesis "Research on Control and Evaluation Method of Engine Carbon Deposition".

Often when idling, the air flow into the engine is small, and the erosion of carbon deposition is not strong enough, which is more likely to lead to carbon deposition.

Just like the dust on the table, it is wiped every day, which is not obvious, and the table is quite clean; 1, I haven't cleaned it for 2 years. Look at the color of this table. It's all gray.

Just now, the paper also said that when the car is driving at high speed, the air intake can be washed by increasing the air velocity to prevent the deposition of carbon deposits to some extent.

If there were a lot of people waiting for parking and idling in the past, and you happened to be on a business trip, you see, in the case of this commercial vehicle, this method can also remove carbon deposits to a certain extent.

Of course, the effect is better, and the cost-effective method is to use clean fuel treasure, which has better carbon deposition effect. I also sell them at home, so I can go and have a look.

Long-term idle tail gas is harmful to the environment and carbon deposition.

Generally speaking, the exhaust gas emitted by idling for a long time is not only harmful to the environment and the health of drivers and friends, but also harmful to our wallets.

It not only wastes gasoline, but also increases the carbon deposition of the engine.

Recycling carbon costs a lot of money. Why bother?
