Does Running the Air Conditioner for One Hour While the Car is Idling Damage the Vehicle?
1 Answers
Running the air conditioner for one hour while the car is idling can damage the vehicle. Vehicle idling in place: When the vehicle is idling in place, the gasoline in the engine does not burn completely. If this is done frequently over a long period, it will increase carbon deposits in the engine. Additionally, fuel consumption will also rise relatively. Resting in the car with the air conditioner on can easily lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Precautions for using the air conditioner in the vehicle: If the driver must rest in the car, they should first park the vehicle in an open and well-ventilated area and switch the air conditioner's airflow mode from internal circulation to external circulation. This ensures proper air circulation inside the car. Idling with the air conditioner on is a bad habit, as it not only accelerates the aging of the cooling fan but also increases fuel consumption and engine carbon deposits.
