Can You Turn on the Air Conditioning When a Truck is Parked?
1 Answers
Truck air conditioning can be turned on when the vehicle is parked. Below is an introduction to truck air conditioning: 1. Core principle of refrigeration: The refrigerant releases heat when liquefied in the condenser and absorbs heat when vaporized in the evaporator. 2. Structure of the air conditioning system: The air conditioning system mainly consists of three major components—compressor, condenser, and evaporator—along with several auxiliary parts, including the expansion valve, receiver-drier, pipelines, condenser fan, blower, and temperature sensor. 3. Proper usage: Turn off the air conditioning a few minutes before reaching the destination and switch to natural ventilation. This allows the temperature inside the air conditioning ducts to rise, eliminating the temperature difference with the outside environment, thereby maintaining relative dryness in the air conditioning system and preventing mold growth. Additionally, the air conditioning should be turned on only after the engine has been running for two to three minutes and is properly lubricated.
