Kia Carens: Lighting System / Head Lamps Description and operation
1. |
Bulb
(1) |
Elements
Xenon gas: Xenon gas activates the initial reaction for rapid
illuminating.
Molybdenum electrode: anode arcing
Metal halide salts: color composing component
|
(2) |
Lightening principle
When Xenon gas and metal halide salt will discharge the molybdenum
anode in a capsule, it emits light.
|
|
2. |
Ignitor
Ignitor (A) is an electromagnetic transformer that receives current
from ballast and boost voltage to light on the arc light source in any
environment.

|
3. |
Ballast
(1) |
Ballast (A) delivers an instant high voltage pulse to the ignitor
electrode, to initialize discharge in the source.
|
(2) |
Ballast supplies the stable power to the bulb and the ignitor
during initialization and normal state of arc.

|
|
4. |
Stability
(1) |
Durable for vibration as there is no filament.
|
(2) |
Does not operate if polarity are changed.
|
(3) |
Doesn't operate if the input voltage is not in the range of
10-16V.
|
(4) |
Doesn't operate if the circuit is short.
|
(5) |
Doesn't operate if the bulb burnt out.

Description
The GDI injector is similar to a standard injector, but sprays fuel at a much
higher pressure directly into the combustion chamber and has a swirl disc to
get the fuel swirling as it exits the nozzle. This aids in atomization of the
fuel.The ECM controls both the ...
