Does the Air Conditioning Fan Speed Affect Fuel Consumption?
1 Answers
Adjusting only the fan speed without changing the air conditioning temperature does not affect fuel consumption, and the resulting fuel consumption is negligible. Below is relevant information about fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: This refers to the fuel consumption of a vehicle traveling 100 kilometers on the road at a certain speed. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by manufacturers in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated under specified speeds to determine the theoretical experimental fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the model. 2. Road condition fuel consumption: Road condition fuel consumption is a fuel indicator calculated based on repeated tests where the vehicle is driven on specified roads at prescribed speeds and times. It is also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. The standard specifies that each cycle includes various driving conditions and records driving conditions based on indicators such as specified shift times, parking durations, driving speeds, acceleration, braking, and deceleration within each cycle. The values obtained using this method are closer to actual values.
