HomeBlog Here’s how you demist Your Windscreen either Idling or Driving in Dubai?
Some people enjoy the winter months more than others. For many of us, who typically drive for commuting and daily tasks, winter presents a particular challenge.
Having a fogged-up windscreen is the primary discussion. A dangerous windshield cannot be seen through, especially when driving. Guess what might occur if you had no visibility at all up front while driving?
Condensation is the primary culprit behind the emergence of fog at the windshield. But how does condensation happen? When a bit of hot air comes into contact with the cool air or environment, condensation happens. The air inside a vehicle is usually hot compared to the outside temperature.
Besides, the human body and breathing also make the surrounding air hotter. And when the hot air comes into contact with the windscreen, which is usually cool, condensation happens, and you find your car’s windscreen completely misted up. However, Handling such issues are quite easy. This requires learning these tricks to clear a windscreen.
You should check your car’s heater first. Try to use heaters in cold conditions initially and gradually increase the temperature so that air can dry easily. Kindly ensure that heater vents are pointed in the windscreen direction so that warm air could do its job with the help of evaporations and continue to heat up the glass so condensation cannot happen again.
Be mindful with the temperature because too much would not be good enough either as there is probability of humidity inside the cabin. Just wait until all of your car's glass surfaces are clear before driving away. It might take a little longer to clear completely, but at least you'll feel a little more comfortable. If visibility is hampered, it is risky.
The windscreen demisting setting, which automatically adjusts the ventilation system's settings to produce the best results, is most likely available on the climate control systems of most modern vehicles.
The temperature in a climate-controlled vehicle is monitored by thermometers. The thermostat, for instance, measures the temperature inside the cabin of your car when the climate control system is set to a particular setting. While switching between cooling and heating, it also regulates the fan's speed according to the situation.
Besides, there are some specific buttons for defogging that you can use when there is a specific requirement. However, most cars, especially those old cars, do not come with such a sophisticated system. There are some manual tips you can follow to deal with such scenarios.
However, you cannot drive with a fogged windscreen. So you apply a hack for making it demisted before going for a drive. But what happens when you driving your vehicle already and it start to mix up. Opening the window in such a situation can unquestionably be helpful. However, it seems awkward, but can cold air from open car windows demist a windscreen?
Of course! In this instance, the cold outside air lowers the temperature inside the car. On those chilly days, it is not practical to leave the entire window open. Although you should slightly open your windows, let enough air into the cabin to reduce the temperature.Opening the front windows a few inches is enough. This works even better if your heaters are operational.
To solve the problem of the misty windscreen, you have learned a number of solutions. But what if you can avoid such problems entirely? There is a unique hack to get rid of misted windshields. This comes into play when players of ice hockey apply it to prevent fogging up their masks.
However, it also works well with every bit of demystification on a windshield and any other glass as well. It requires application of shaving foam on a cloth and placement over the inner side of the windscreen. As it contains certain substances (surfactants), they offer resistance to water droplets at the surface. However, there is no resistance to the condensation.
Since mist can appear inside, it is quite possible that an outer surface can be suddenly covered by mist. It happens when you drive through a warm day or even a section of road with hot or humid air while your air conditioning is running high. However, it requires just a push on the wipers button to clear outer windscreen.
Besides, your vehicle should not have any kind of crack if you are heading to the winter season. A crack does not go well fogging condition.
