Does turning the car air conditioning on and off repeatedly save fuel?

[McLucy]

It does not save fuel. Frequently turning the air conditioning on and off has a significant impact on the air conditioning compressor. This is because the starting current when the air conditioning is turned on is several times higher than the current during normal operation. Frequent switching on and off can affect the service life of the air conditioning compressor and further reduce the overall lifespan of the air conditioning system. Related information: 1. Air conditioning odor: When the air conditioning system is operating, moisture in the air forms condensation on the surface of the air conditioning condenser and evaporator. Some of this water remains in the evaporator and air conditioning pipes after the system is turned off. This moisture, combined with microorganisms and pollutants in the air, creates a breeding ground for mold, aspergillus, penicillium, LP bacteria, and mites in the damp, warm, and dark environment of the air conditioning system. 2. Types of air conditioning: According to the control method, they are divided into: fully automatic adjustment and microcomputer-controlled fully automatic adjustment.
