Does the Engine Start-Stop System Affect the Air Conditioning?

[DiRiver]

The start-stop system has minimal impact on the air conditioning compressor. The engine auto start-stop system primarily operates as a hot start, and its activation is determined based on factors such as the battery condition and the load on the vehicle's electrical system. The engine shuts off to save fuel without compromising the comfort and safety functions of the in-car electrical systems. Additional information: 1. In scenarios like waiting at traffic lights or in congested roads, the intervals between stopping and starting are limited, so the impact on electrical systems, including the air conditioning, is relatively minor. 2. How the air conditioning compressor works: During actual operation, it repeatedly starts and stops. It automatically stops when the interior temperature is low and re-engages when it gets hot, utilizing an electromagnetic clutch that is not easily damaged.
