LOW CONSUMPTION HEADLIGHT WASHING SYSTEM

摘要

Based on the compulsory need to equip all cars with xenon technologyheadlights with an automated cleaning system for the glass of the headlights, we havedeveloped an innovated system, which is outstanding mainly because of the followingadvantages over current conventional systems:1. Reduction in the consumption of liquid approximately of 50% per washing cycle,obtaining the same washing efficiency as conventional systems and so assuring thatthe homologation norms are met.2. Significant reduction in the size of all the components in the system and theircorresponding weight reduction: Liquid deposit, Headlight pump, telescopicconnection and outlet pipes with the effect of having much more freedom whendefining the “package” of the car.3. Possibility of having incorporated inside the headlight washer pump, an electronictemporiser for the propulsion of liquid to equip only those cars which need thisapplication.Both the composition as well as the application of the new system for its use as a headlightwasher has been patented by FICOSA INTERNATIONAL, S.A., emphasising especially thesubstitution of the conventional pump and the reduction in the consumption of liquidgenerated by this system in combination with the fixed and telescopic outlets developed forthis application.“This innovation allows us to offer our customers an alternative system which is 100%comparable with the technological and quality demands of conventional systems.Because of our capacity to develop and manufacture the complete system from the motor ofthe pump to the outlets, we can assure full service to our customers for the implementation ofthe new system. As well as having achieved an important reduction in the space necessary forpackaging, we are convinced that this system means a possible reduction in costs of up to andeven over 20% approximately, compared with conventional systems, something which is noteasy to achieve in a system inside the car at present.
