  2. Carburetor icing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carburetor_icing

    If the temperature drops below freezing, water vapor will freeze onto the throttle valve, and other internal surfaces of the carburetor. The venturi effect can reduce the air temperature by 39 K; 39 °C (70 °F). In other words, air at an outside temperature of 38 °C (100 °F), can drop to −1 °C (30 °F) in the carburetor.

    ControlTrac made its debut on January 12, 1995, for the 1995 model year on the second generation Ford Explorer mid-size sport utility vehicle. [1] A heavy-duty version of ControlTrac was introduced in 1996 for the 1997 model year on the first generation Ford Expedition full-size sport utility vehicle.

  4. Control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

    A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller. [1] This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure , temperature , and liquid level.

    What to do when water pipes freeze. Here are tips from The Red Cross. If you turn on a faucet and only a trickle comes out, suspect a frozen pipe. Likely places for frozen pipes include against ...

  6. Antifreeze - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifreeze

    A 1:1 dilution with water is usually used, resulting in a freezing point of about −34 °F (−37 °C), depending on the formulation. In warmer or colder areas, weaker or stronger dilutions are used, respectively, but a range of 40%/60% to 60%/40% is frequently specified to ensure corrosion protection, and 70%/30% for maximum freeze prevention ...

  7. Freezing air temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing_air_temperature

    Freezing [1] or frost occurs when the air temperature falls below the freezing point of water (0 °C, 32 °F, 273 K). This is usually measured at the height of 1.2 metres above the ground surface. This is usually measured at the height of 1.2 metres above the ground surface.

    VCT is used in Ford's Triton 5.4L 3-valve V8 engine, the Australian Barra 182 and 240 Inline-6s, and Ford's 4.6L 3-valve V8 engine used in the 2006-2010 Ford Explorer and 2005-2010 Ford Mustang GT. The 2.0L Zetec inline-4 used in the 1998–2003 Ford Escort ZX2 , Ford Contour, and 1999–2002 Mercury Cougar used VCT on the exhaust camshaft.

  9. Thermostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat

    Some automobile passenger heating systems have a thermostatically controlled valve to regulate the water flow and temperature to an adjustable level. In older vehicles the thermostat controls the application of engine vacuum to actuators that control water valves and flappers to direct the flow of air.
