Does Using Car Heater in Winter Consume More Fuel?
1 Answers
Using the car heater in winter does consume fuel, but the amount is very minimal. The working principle of a car heater is to utilize the heat generated by the engine's circulating cooling system. This heat is then transferred to the cabin by the blower to create warm air, which is essentially a form of heat recycling. Here are some tips for quickly raising the temperature inside the car in winter: First, start the engine to allow it to warm up. Wait until the engine temperature gauge reaches the midpoint before turning on the heater. At the same time, set the air circulation to external circulation to expel the cold air from the cabin. After 2 to 3 minutes, switch the air circulation back to internal circulation.
