Using a car essential oil diffuser is a great way to naturally fragrance your car, eliminating any unwanted odors. Some of these products also double as a humidifier which provides medicinal benefits along with the benefits provided by essential oils.
What does a diffuser do in a car?
The diffuser acts as an expansion chamber to manage the air as it exits from underneath the car and reintegrates it with higher-pressure ambient air. Smoothing this transition reduces turbulence and drag in the car’s wake and improves airflow under the car.
For safety, the system will automatically stop after 4.5 hours or if the water runs dry. Though it is a desirable diffuser, it can take a while to get a new scent since the compartment is large. It’s best suited to larger vehicles because in smaller areas it may be overpowering.

Does a rear diffuser make your car faster?
With this in mind, the role of the diffuser on a racing car is to speed the airflow up underneath the car, reducing its pressure, creating a greater difference in pressure between the upper and lower surfaces of the car. This means more downforce and aerodyamic grip, allowing the car to corner faster.
What’s the point of a rear diffuser?
A diffuser, in an automotive context, is a shaped section of the car rear which improves the car’s aerodynamic properties by enhancing the transition between the high-velocity airflow underneath the car and the much slower freestream airflow of the ambient atmosphere.
Why should I get a diffuser?
An essential oil diffuser is also known as an aromatherapy diffuser. It disperses essential oils into the air and fills the area with a natural fragrance. One of the best known uses for essential oils is their ability to assist you in unwinding after a tough day.
Exhaust diffusers are a critical component of turbomachinery, especially for axial machines. The diffuser takes hot gas at the tail of the low pressure turbine and directs the flow to the exhaust envelope while recovering static pressure.
Why was the blown diffuser banned?
The reason for the ban is the FIA is unhappy that ‘hot blowing’ is a waste of fuel, and believe that blown diffusers in general are making use of moving parts of the engine to influence aerodynamics, and therefore infringe a regulation against moveable aerodynamic devices.
How do blown diffusers work?
The diffuser is directly ‘blown’ by the exhaust gases, accelerating the airflow passing through it and improving the extraction of air from underneath the car. This also increases the overall quantity of air feeding the diffuser and sucks the car to the track at high speeds.
What is a blown diffuser engine?
The blown diffuser in F1 generates downforce by expanding the air leaving from below the car, creating a low pressure under the car. A blown diffuser had the engine exhaust blowing over the diffuser, increasing the volume and velocity of the air through the diffuser, which generated more downforce.
Are blown diffusers banned?
The FIA attempted to stamp out the practice for 2012 by specifying a box region where the exhaust outlet could be placed. It effectively banned the current crop of exhaust blown diffusers but, as we’ll find out in the next article in the ‘Banned’ series, this didn’t stop the teams for long
When did F1 have blown diffusers?
An example of this is the blown diffuser, which had a huge impact in F1 as the V8 era came to an end, having been used during the 1980’s and ’90’s before falling out of favour as the regulations changed.

Why do blown diffusers sound different?
This is what happens as the air moves through the diffuser. It cools down and decreases in volume, making extra vacuum in the diffuser. At the same time you’re pumping extra volume of air into the diffuser so you don’t suffer from too low pressure coming out and increasing drag. So now to the sound.
What is a blown exhaust?
In time, this heat causes first cracks, and eventually, small holes, to form. These are what cause the phenomenon known as ‘blowing’, which creates the distinctive resonating noise and vibration which is a symptom of the exhaust being about to fail.
How do I know if my exhaust needs replacing?
If the exhaust is roaring, it usually points to an issue with the silencer and it may need replacing. Or due to erosion from the acidic moisture and condensed exhaust gases. If there is corrosion or cracking, you will need a replacement.
