How heat affects the engine so it loses power

You may not know that heat affects the performance of your engine, however there are other elements that are affected by exposure to high temperatures in a car.

Proper Functioning engine in a car is vital to its displacement, otherwise it would be impossible to use the vehicle, so you must take care to protect your engine.

Heat, for example, is one of the factors affects your performance , if the temperature in the place where you live exceeds 95 degrees, you should know that the heat causes the engine to lose about five horsepower after this temperature and, in addition, increases fuel consumption. 

But that's not all, carlo also causes brake failures, tires reduce their duration by 15%, the car's paint loses its shine and the interior dries out and tends to warp. It is clear that sometimesThe effects of the sun are inevitable, but we can help make them less severe.

According to MotoryRacing.com, this is due to the heat:

. Air conditioning

The air conditioner works with a compressor that is driven by the car's engine. Every time the air conditioner turns on, it takes horsepower (hp) from the car.

HP loss is not large and the increase in gas consumption is also minimal.

. The air entering the engine is too hot

Engines must have air in their cylinders to be able to burn fuel, and this is the case in all diesel or gasoline engines.

When the climate reaches high temperatures, there is less oxygen in the air and the mixture does not burn as easily, reducing engine performance.

Hot air affects turbocharged or air compressor engines more, they use more air to run and are affected by the lack of oxygen.

. Refrigeration system

This system is responsible for ensuring that the engine does not overheat, but in extreme heat the fan has to work more often and engine performance drops.

All this is inevitable, and even more so in cities where there is intense heat. It is necessary to take care of the car and check the coolant level more often.
