Izihlungi zenjini ziyizingxenye ezibalulekile ezimotweni nasemitshini yezimboni. Umsebenzi wabo oyinhloko uwukuqinisekisa ukuhlanzeka kwenjini yangaphakathi, ukuvimbela ukungcola, uthuli, nokungcola ukuthi kungangeni ezindaweni zokusebenza ezibalulekile, ngaleyo ndlela kwandiswe ukuphila kwenjini nokugcina ukusebenza kahle. Ukusebenza kwabo kuthinta ngokuqondile ukuthembeka kwenjini, ukonga kukaphethiloli, kanye nesisi esikhishwayo.
Ukusebenza kahle kokuhlunga kuyinkomba eyinhloko yokusebenza kwesihlungi. {{1}Isihlungi sekhwalithi ephezulu kufanele sibambe ngempumelelo izinhlayiya ezincane (njengezinhlayiya zothuli ezincane kuno-5 microns) kuyilapho siqinisekisa umthamo owanele wokugeleza, sivimbele ukuthi zingawabi ama-piston, izindonga zamasilinda, namasistimu kawoyela. Izihlungi zesimanje zisebenzisa{4}}imidiya eyinhlanganisela yezendlalelo eziningi, njengenhlanganisela ye-cellulose nama-synthetic fibers, ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukunemba kokuhlunga ngokusebenzisa indlela embaxambili ye-electrostatic adsorption kanye nokuhlangana komzimba.
Umthamo wokubamba uthuli unquma impilo yesihlungi. Izihlungi eziphakeme-ezisebenza kahle, ngesakhiwo semidiya esithuthukisiwe (njengedizayini emibalabala ukuze kwandiswe indawo yokuhlunga) kanye nokusetshenziswa{2}}kwezinto zokugxilisa ingqondo eziphezulu, zingaqongelela ukungcola okwengeziwe ngaphambi kokufinyelela ukucindezela okubalulekile kokuhluka. Lesi sici sinciphisa isidingo sokushintshwa njalo, sizenze zifaneleke kakhulu izindawo zokusebenza ezinokhahlo.
Ukumelana noketshezi (okungukuthi, ukucindezela okuhlukile) kungenye ipharamitha eyinhloko. Izihlungi kufanele zinikeze ukuhlunga okusebenzayo kuyilapho zinciphisa ukuvinjelwa kumafutha noma ukugeleza komoya. Izihlungi eziklanywe ngendlela engafanele,{4}}ezimelana kakhulu zingaholela ekunikezeni uwoyela onganele noma ukunciphisa umthamo womoya, okuholela ekunciphiseni kokukhishwa kwamandla kanye nokwenyuka kokusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli. Imikhiqizo ethuthukisiwe ithuthukisa i-porosity yemidiya ngokusebenzisa ukulingisa okuguquguqukayo okuwuketshezi ukuze ibhalansise ukusebenza kahle kokuhlunga nokusebenza kahle kokugeleza.
Ukuqina nokuvumelana nezimo zemvelo nakho kubalulekile. Izihlungi{1}eziphezulu zekhwalithi kumele zimelane namazinga okushisa aphezulu, ukugqwala kukawoyela, nokudlidliza, zigcine{2}}ukuzinza kwesikhathi eside. Amanye amamodeli{4}esiphetho aphezulu aphinde afake amavalvu e-bypass ahlanganisiwe avuleka ngokuzenzakalelayo lapho evalekile, okuvimbela ubungozi bokushoda kukaphethiloli wenjini.
Kafushane, ukusebenza kwesihlungi senjini kuyisilinganiso esihlanganisa izici eziningi-, futhi intuthuko yezobuchwepheshe iyaqhubeka nokuthuthukisa ukwethembeka kwe-powertrain. Ukuhlolwa okuvamile nokushintshwa kwezihlungi ezihlangabezana nezimfuneko zomkhiqizi kubalulekile ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukusebenza kahle kwenjini.
