How Long Can a Car Idle with the AC On?

[LiamFitz]

It is advisable to limit it to about 15 minutes. Prolonged idling can lead to poor heat dissipation and damage to the car engine. Below is an introduction to engine-related content: Energy Conversion: An engine is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. For example, an internal combustion engine typically converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. Device: An engine can refer to either a power generation device or the entire machine including the power unit (e.g., gasoline engines, aircraft engines). The engine was first developed in the UK, so the concept of an engine originates from English, with its original meaning referring to "a mechanical device that generates power."
