Does a car consume fuel when only the fan is on without the air conditioning?

Analyzing the working principle, even when only the fan is turned on without the air conditioning, the car still consumes fuel. The fan is one of the components that consume electricity, and when the fan is activated, the engine speed increases. It can be observed that the engine RPM rises momentarily when the fan is turned on. Below is an extended explanation: Introduction to the aerodynamic performance of the fan: The aerodynamic performance of a fan typically refers to the relationship between the fan's flow rate and static pressure, as well as the flow rate and power. The fan's flow rate is equivalent to its intake or exhaust volume per unit time, which is the volumetric flow rate of gas passing through the duct per unit time in performance tests. The static pressure of the fan characterizes the gas's ability to overcome various resistances in the flow path.

I drive to work every day, and in the summer, I just turn on the fan for airflow without using the AC. I don’t notice any change in fuel consumption. The fan is powered by the car’s battery system, and its power consumption is low—probably just a few dozen to a hundred watts. It runs on the battery’s power and doesn’t require the engine to work extra. Unlike the AC compressor, which increases the engine’s load and raises the RPM, leading to noticeably higher fuel consumption. Just using the fan, especially in city driving, provides gentle airflow without consuming extra fuel, and it’s hassle-free. I recommend regularly checking the fan filter to ensure it’s not clogged and maintaining the AC system properly—this way, you’ll save fuel and stay cool in the long run. On highways, opening windows increases wind resistance and fuel consumption, but the fan doesn’t have this issue.
