How Long Is It Appropriate to Run the Air Conditioner While Parked?
1 Answers
It is advisable to limit it to around 15 minutes. Running it for too long can lead to poor heat dissipation and damage the car engine. Below are precautions for using the car air conditioner: 1. Do not sleep with the air conditioner on: In relatively confined environments, such as inside a garage, it may lead to carbon dioxide poisoning. It's best to run the air conditioner in open-air or well-ventilated areas and leave a slight window gap. Shortly after entering the car, one should open the windows or activate the external circulation ventilation system to introduce fresh air. Avoid driving for extended periods with closed windows and doors, and never sleep or rest for long durations in a sealed car. 2. Maintain air exchange between inside and outside: After purchasing a new car, it's important to facilitate air exchange between the interior and exterior as much as possible, similar to airing out a newly renovated home, to allow harmful gases inside the car to volatilize and dissipate as quickly as possible.
