Can You Turn on the Air Conditioning When Driving Through Water?
1 Answers
It is best not to turn on the air conditioning when driving through water, as it may cause water to enter the throttle valve. It is recommended to check the throttle valve. If the car shakes when the air conditioning is turned on, it is clearly due to insufficient air-fuel mixture, resulting in insufficient power, and the engine cannot drive the compressor and electric fan. Below is relevant information: 1. Maximum Wading Depth: The maximum wading depth is the distance between the tire contact point and the engine intake port, known as Wattiefe in English. The maximum wading depth refers to the maximum depth that can be safely traversed under safe driving conditions, also known as the safe depth. It is also an important indicator for evaluating a vehicle's off-road capability. The greater the maximum wading depth, the stronger the vehicle's water-crossing ability. 2. Impact: If the intake port is below the water level during wading, water may be sucked into the engine cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it can cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical structure. Therefore, the wading depth must not exceed the height of the engine intake port. Installing a snorkel can also increase the height of the engine intake port, thereby improving the maximum wading depth.
