In modern machines, there are quite a lot of different electrical appliances. They perform useful functions, facilitate the driver lives and simplifies the process of driving. Which ones are the most voracious?
The difference between good and bad drivers that first understands how to operate his car, what and how much energy is distributed. To do this, it is important to know the power systems that operate on-board network.
The battery in your car is responsible for the power supply when the engine is running even - at the time of its incorporation and operation of the motor at low speeds. The main power source in the vehicle is the alternator.
Automotive electrical equipment is:
• Basic;
• long-term use;
• short-term inclusion.
Most of all energy consumed: ignition and injection system, fuel system, automatic transmission (in case you We prefer automatic transmission "mechanics"), And - a motor control unit. This equipment belongs to basic "consumers".
Lighting, cooling, security, media system used for long time.
Short-term includes heating glass, windows, cigarette lighter, brake light, since they do not operate in continuous mode.
The greatest power in the vehicle consumes starter. In various vehicles, it ranges from 750 to 3000 watts. Many uses and cooling system (air conditioning) - from 80 to 600 watts.
Further there is a function for seat heating - 230 - 250 W and windows - 150 watts. The amount of consumption of about 100 watts for devices such as: sound, lighter, glow plugs, the fan compartment, the fuel injection system. Wiper consumes even less - up to 90 watts.
Headlamps require very little: the main beam - at 55-56 watts, low beam headlights - 45 watts. In sum, at the reversing light, direction indicator lamps, brake lights, ignition system - from 19 watts to 30 watts. The most economical systems are: lights, parking lights and license plate illumination - up to 3-6 watts.
