Six-Wheeled Vehicle Strap-on Sensor Passenger Car Tire Pressure Monitoring System TPMS

Functions of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System

• Ensuring driving safety:
  • Abnormal tire pressure is one of the main causes of tire blowouts. When the tire pressure is too high, the contact area between the tire and the road surface decreases, and the pressure per unit area increases, making it prone to blowouts during high - speed driving or when encountering road bumps. The tire pressure monitoring system can detect high tire pressure in time and avoid this dangerous situation. For example, in hot summer, if the tires are over - inflated, during long - term driving, the excessive temperature and pressure may overwhelm the tires, and with the monitoring system, such problems can be prevented beforehand.
  • When the tire pressure is insufficient, the tire will be deformed excessively, and the internal cord layer and steel wire will bear additional pressure. Frequent deformation will also lead to increased heat generation of the tire and accelerate rubber aging, which also increases the risk of blowouts. At the same time, insufficient tire pressure will affect the vehicle's handling performance, such as making the steering heavier and increasing the braking distance. The tire pressure monitoring system will issue an alarm when the tire pressure is insufficient, allowing the driver to handle the situation in time and ensure driving safety.
• Extending the service life of tires:
  • Normal tire pressure can ensure that the tire has uniform contact with the ground, making the tire wear evenly. When the tire pressure is too high or too low, it will cause increased local wear of the tire. The tire pressure monitoring system helps to keep the tire pressure within an appropriate range, reducing abnormal wear caused by pressure problems, thereby extending the service life of the tires and saving the owner the cost of tire replacement.
• Improving fuel economy:
  • Insufficient tire pressure will increase the rolling resistance of the vehicle. According to relevant research, if the tire pressure is 10% lower than the standard value, fuel consumption may increase by 2% - 3%. The tire pressure monitoring system can help vehicle owners maintain the normal pressure of the tires, reduce the rolling resistance, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
