Can the car run the air conditioner while idling?
1 Answers
Yes, the car can run the air conditioner while idling. However, it is not advisable to keep the air conditioner on for too long during idling, as it may have the following effects: 1. Increased fuel consumption: The car already consumes fuel while idling, and the operation of the air conditioner's compressor requires the engine to drive it, which will undoubtedly increase fuel consumption. 2. Shortened battery life: The air conditioner's blower is powered by the battery. When the car is idling, the battery's charging efficiency is relatively low, and the operation of the blower may lead to battery discharge. Prolonged battery discharge can shorten the battery's lifespan.
