Iyini i-AdBlue futhi imoto yakho kadizili iyayidinga?

Izimoto eziningi zikadizili ze-Euro 6 zisebenzisa uketshezi olubizwa ngokuthi i-AdBlue ukuze zisize ekukhipheni izinto ezinobuthi emagesi e-exhaust emoto. Kodwa kuyini? Kungani imoto yakho iyidinga? Uyaphi ngemoto? Qhubeka ufunde ukuze uthole.

Iyini i-AdBlue?

I-AdBlue iwuketshezi olungezwe ezimotweni zikadizili ezinciphisa ukungcola okuyingozi ezingakudala. I-AdBlue empeleni igama lomkhiqizo walokho okwaziwa ngobuchwepheshe ngokuthi uketshezi oluphumayo lukadizili. Kuyisixazululo samanzi acwengekile kanye ne-urea, into etholakala kumchamo nakumanyolo. Ayinabuthi, ayinambala futhi inephunga elimnandi kancane. Iyanamathela kancane ezandleni kodwa iwasheka kalula.

Kungani imoto kadizili idinga i-AdBlue?

Izindinganiso zokukhishwa kwe-Euro 6 zisebenza kuzo zonke izimoto ezikhiqizwe kusukela ngo-September 2015. Babeka imingcele eqinile enanini lama-oxide e-nitrogen, noma i-NOx, angakhishwa ngokomthetho epayipini lemoto likadizili. Lokhu kukhishwa kwe-NOx kuwumkhiqizo wenqubo yokuvutha - ukushisa ingxube kaphethiloli nomoya ngaphakathi enjinini - okukhiqiza amandla okuqhuba imoto. 

Ukukhishwa okunjalo kuhlotshaniswa nezifo zokuphefumula ezingathinta kakhulu impilo yabantu. Nakuba imoto ngayinye ikhipha amanani amancane kakhulu e-NOx, hlanganisa ukukhishwa kwegesi ephuma ezinkulungwaneni zezinjini zikadizili futhi izinga lomoya ledolobha lakho lingehliswa kakhulu. Futhi kungalimaza impilo yakho nomndeni wakho. I-AdBlue isiza ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwe-NOx.

Isebenza kanjani i-AdBlue?

I-AdBlue isetshenziswa njengengxenye yesistimu ye-Selective Catalytic Reduction noma ye-SCR futhi ifakwa ngokuzenzakalela kusistimu yokukhipha umoya wemoto yakho lapho ihlangana khona namagesi e-exhaust, okuhlanganisa i-NOx. I-AdBlue iphendula nge-NOx futhi iyihlephule ibe umoya-mpilo ongenangozi ne-nitrogen, ephuma epayipini le-exhaust bese ihlakazeka emkhathini. 

I-AdBlue ayikuqedi konke ukukhishwa kwe-NOx yemoto yakho, kodwa ikwehlisa kakhulu. 

Imoto yami izosebenzisa i-AdBlue engakanani?

Awukho umthetho obekiwe wokuthi izimoto zisebenzisa i-AdBlue. Ezimweni eziningi, kuthatha izinkulungwane zamamayela ukuthulula ithangi lemoto le-AdBlue. Abanye bangahamba okungenani amamayela ayi-10,000 ngaphambi kokudinga ukufaka uphethiloli. Kuhle futhi ukuqaphela ukuthi, ngokuphambene neminye imibiko, ukusebenzisa i-AdBlue akusho ukuthi uzoshisa uphethiloli owengeziwe.

Ngazi kanjani ukuthi ingakanani i-AdBlue esele emotweni yami?

Zonke izimoto ezisebenzisa i-AdBlue zinegeji endaweni ethile kukhompuyutha esebhodini ebonisa ukuthi yimalini esele. Sicela ubheke imanuwali yomsebenzisi ukuze uthole imiyalelo yokuthi ungayibuka kanjani. Isibonisi esiyisixwayiso sizokhanyisa kusibonisi somshayeli kudala ngaphambi kokuthi ithangi le-AdBlue lingabi nalutho. 

Ngingakwazi ukufaka i-AdBlue ngokwami?

Akuzona zonke izimoto ezikuvumela ukuthi ugcwalise ithangi lakho le-AdBlue ngokwakho, kodwa ungathola kalula ukuthi iyakuvumela yini. Ngemuva kwethangi le-gas hatch kuzoba ne-hatch eyengeziwe enekepisi ye-AdBlue eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, eduze kwethangi elivamile likadizili. Ithangi ngokwalo litholakala ngaphansi kwemoto, eduze kwethangi likaphethiloli.

I-AdBlue iyatholakala eziteshini zikaphethiloli eziningi nasezitolo zezingxenye zezimoto. Iza ngeziqukathi ezingafika kumalitha angu-10 ngokuvamile abiza cishe u-£12.50. Isiqukathi sizofika ne-spout ukwenza ukuthela i-AdBlue kusigcwalisi kube lula kakhulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kukhona amaphampu e-AdBlue emizileni yemisebenzi enzima eziteshini zikaphethiloli ongawasebenzisa ukuze ugcwalise imoto yakho uma inomjovo olungile.

Kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi ungatheli ngephutha i-AdBlue ethangini likaphethiloli lemoto yakho. Uma wenza kanjalo, ithangi lizodinga ukukhanywa nokushaywa. Ngenhlanhla, awukwazi ukugcwalisa ithangi le-AdBlue ngophethiloli wedizili ngoba umlomo wepompo mkhulu kakhulu.

Uma imoto yakho ingenayo i-AdBlue filler ekhethekile, ithangi lingagcwaliswa kuphela egaraji (njengoba isigcwalisi ngokuvamile sifihlwa ngaphansi kwesiqu). Ithangi lidinga ukugcwaliswa njalo lapho imoto yakho inesevisi, ngakho qiniseka ukuthi igaraji elenza umsebenzi liyalivula. Uma ithangi lidinga ukukhuphuka phakathi kwezinsizakalo, amagaraji amaningi azokwenza lokhu ngemali encane.

Kwenzekani uma imoto yami iphelelwa i-AdBlue?

Akufanele uvumele imoto yakho iphelelwe i-AdBlue. Uma lokhu kwenzeka, injini izongena kumodi "ebuthakathaka", enciphisa amandla kakhulu ukugcina ukukhishwa kwe-NOx ngaphakathi kwemikhawulo eyamukelekayo. Uma lokhu kwenzeka, kuzovela isixwayiso kusibonisi somshayeli futhi kufanele ugcwalise kabusha ithangi lakho le-AdBlue ngokushesha okukhulu. Akufanele uvale injini uze ukwazi ukufinyelela kumthamo owengeziwe we-AdBlue ngoba mancane amathuba okuthi injini iqale.

Ngendlela, ukuntuleka kwe-AdBlue kungesinye sezizathu eziningi zokuthi kungani injini ingena kumodi ephuthumayo. Noma yiziphi izinkinga ezingathi sína zenjini noma zokudlulisa ezenzekayo ngenkathi ushayela zizovula imodi ephuthumayo. Iklanyelwe ukuvimbela umonakalo owengeziwe futhi ugcine imoto ihamba ukuze ukwazi ukuma endaweni ephephile ukuze ushayele abezimo eziphuthumayo. 

Yiziphi izimoto ezisebenzisa i-AdBlue?

Izimoto eziningi zikadizili ezihlangabezana nezindinganiso zokukhishwa kwe-Euro 6 zisebenzisa i-AdBlue. Nokho, akuwona wonke umuntu owenza lokhu, njengoba ezinye izinhlelo zingasetshenziswa esikhundleni sokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwe-NOx.

Kunezimoto eziningi ezisebenzisa i-AdBlue kangangokuthi asikho isikhala lapha sokuzibhala zonke. Nokho, nanka amathiphu ambalwa angakusiza ukuthi ubone ukuthi imoto ofuna ukuyithenga isebenzisa i-AdBlue:

1. Hlola ukuthi igama elithi "blue" noma izinhlamvu "SCR" ziyingxenye yegama lemoto yini. Isibonelo, izinjini zikadizili zakwaPeugeot neCitroen ezisebenzisa i-AdBlue zibhalwe ukuthi BlueHDi. AmaFord abhalwe ukuthi EcoBlue. Izimoto zakwaVolkswagen zibhalwe TDi SCR.
2. Vula umnyango kaphethiloli ukuze ubone ukuthi ikhona yini ikepisi yokugcwalisa ye-AdBlue enekepisi eliluhlaza okukhulunywe ngalo ekuqaleni. Uma ungakaqiniseki, sicela uxhumane nomdayisi noma umkhiqizi wakho.

Kuningi izinga izimoto ezintsha futhi esetshenziswa ongakhetha kuzo eCazoo. Sebenzisa isici sokusesha ukuze uthole okuthandayo, ukuthenge ku-inthanethi futhi ukulethe emnyango wakho noma ukhethe ukukulanda kwabaseduze nawe. Isikhungo Senkonzo Yamakhasimende saseCazoo.

Sihlala sibuyekeza futhi sandisa ububanzi bethu. Uma ungayitholi namuhla, hlola futhi ngemva kwesikhathi ukuze ubone ukuthi yini etholakalayo noma setha izexwayiso zokuphromotha ukuba ngowokuqala ukwazi uma sinezimoto ezihambisana nezidingo zakho.
