Car windscreen wiper and washer systems

 

SUMMARY OF:

Regulation (EU) No 1008/2010 — type-approval requirements for windscreen wiper and washer systems of certain motor vehicles

WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE REGULATION?

  • It lays down rules concerning windscreen wiper* and washer systems* of motor vehicles.
  • The aim is to adapt current requirements to developments in scientific and technical knowledge.

KEY POINTS

The regulation establishes type-approval requirements for windscreen wiper and washer systems of motor vehicles. It forms part of the implementation of the Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 on type-approval requirements for the safety of motor vehicles.

Type of vehicle concerned

This regulation applies to vehicles of category M1, i.e. vehicles designed and built for passenger transport, seating not more than 8 passengers in addition to the driver.

Requirements concerning windscreen wipers and washer systems

Manufacturers must equip motor vehicles with:

  • windscreen wipers consisting of wiper arms. The windscreen wiper system must have at least 2 sweep frequency settings. The windscreen wiper field must cover at least 98 % of vision area A and 80 % of vision area B (these areas are defined in paragraphs 2.2 and 2.4 respectively of Annex 18 of UNECE Regulation No 43);
  • washer system to spray fluid onto the target area of the windscreen without any leakage, disconnection of any tubing or malfunctioning of any nozzle. This system must deliver sufficient fluid to clear at least 60 % of vision area A.


Area B is bounded by planes 5,6,7,8 above.

Hit enter to search or ESC to close A Short Guide To Metric Nuts and Bolts Answers to the most Frequently Asked Questions Standard and Fine Pitch Threads How to identify nut and bolt strength grades How nut and bolt strength grades compare Maximum Tightening Torques Why specified torque is sometimes lower than the maximum Spanner Sizes Versus Bolt / Nut thread size Allen Key size versus Bolt / Nut thread size Correct Drill size for Tapping Metric threads in holes Introduction: Metric Nuts and Bolts This short guide is intended to give a very basic introduction to ISO metric nuts and bolts. It is intended for those working in plant and machinery maintenance to give enough information on to ensure that correct replacement parts are identified and used. Few parts are as critical in the assembly of modern machinery as the nuts and bolts which hold it all together and, at first sight, it seems that all metric bolts are basically the same. In fact, of course, nothing could be further from th...

CAN Bus Wiring Diagram, a Basics Tutorial

Image
https://tekeye.uk/automotive/can-bus-cable-wiring Index ↓ About ↓ CAN Bus Wiring Diagram, a Basics Tutorial The CAN bus is a common digital data network used in automotive, industrial, medical and scientific systems. The CAN bus is used for routing sensor data between pieces of equipment. The main advantages are high resilience to noise, reliability, low cost, simple wiring and ease of use. The disadvantages are that the data packet lengths are small, transmission rates are low and the message transmission cycle time can vary. This article covers the basics of CAN bus wiring, showing a simple CAN bus wiring diagram and how to wire up a CAN bus cable. It covers wiring for the common DB9 plug and socket often used with CAN bus test equipment. The DB9 is also known as 9-pin D-sub, DE-9 (its correct name), DB-9, serial connector, RS232 connector or null modem connector. The CAN bus is used in nearly every form...

I find watching this video boring but the links are userful and the linked tutorial very helpful. Better than reading the instructiions in the FreeCAD Addon installation comments for CFDof. http://www.opensim.co.za/training.html   The tutorial that is useful in doing CFD for car is the one below: https://github.com/opensimsa/opensim/raw/master/Documentation/CFD/UAV2/CFD%20Tutorial%204%20-%20External%20Aerodynamics%20of%20a%20UAV.pdf   WINDOWS: ● https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Download ● Install CfdOF from Tools | Addon manager ● Go to Edit | Preferences | CFD to check and install dependencies   Of special note: I install the older version of Paraview as shown in the FreeCAD preferences. I downloaded cfmesh and HiSA from sourceforge. No need to look for binaries. It appears as though the master file  zipped file can be installed by FreeCAD.   cfMesh downloaded to C:\Users\othma\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpwg568v1r.zip Installing cfMesh...
