How Long Can the Parking Air Conditioner Be Used?

[McElijah]

The usage time of the parking air conditioner varies depending on conditions. During the day, it can be used for about two hours, while at night, it can last from nine to ten hours. Factors affecting the endurance of the parking air conditioner: Battery capacity of the vehicle: The amount of electricity stored in the vehicle's battery directly determines the usage duration of the parking air conditioner. The more electricity stored, the longer the usage time. Set temperature: Similar to household air conditioners, the lower the set temperature of the parking air conditioner, the higher the power consumption, and consequently, the shorter the endurance time. To quickly cool down the cabin, the temperature can be set lower initially. After the cabin cools down, it is recommended to set the temperature to 26 degrees. Outdoor ambient temperature: The higher the outdoor temperature, the greater the cooling load required for the cabin, leading the parking air conditioner compressor to operate at higher frequencies and consume more power. Vehicle structure: Larger vehicles require more space to cool, necessitating longer periods of high-load cooling, which naturally consumes more electricity. Better-sealed vehicles are more energy-efficient. Preventing external heat from entering and retaining cool air inside helps maintain stable cabin temperature for longer periods. Inverter parking air conditioners can operate at ultra-low frequencies, which is the most energy-efficient mode. Input power: Different brands of parking air conditioners have varying power levels, typically ranging between 700-1200W, which is usually labeled on the unit. The higher the input power of the parking air conditioner, the shorter the corresponding usage time.
