Does Using Air Conditioning in the Car Consume More Fuel in Summer?
1 Answers
Using air conditioning in the car during summer does consume more fuel. Here are some precautions to note when using air conditioning in the car during summer: 1. Avoid resting in the car with the air conditioning on for extended periods: Prolonged idling of the engine may lead to incomplete combustion of gasoline in the cylinders, producing high concentrations of carbon monoxide, which can be drawn into the car through the air conditioning vents. If someone rests or sleeps in the car for too long, they may unknowingly inhale carbon monoxide. Excessive inhalation can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, and in severe cases, it may cause suffocation and death. 2. Do not set the air conditioning temperature too low: Prolonged exposure to low-temperature air conditioning may lead to joint diseases such as arthritis or frozen shoulder. Additionally, in the hot summer, if the car's interior temperature is too low, it creates a significant temperature difference with the high temperatures outside. This temperature difference can make people more susceptible to colds, allergic rhinitis, and other conditions, causing inconvenience in their daily lives.
